There may be a textural ambiance that draws us toward the strings of decorative lights that adorn our collective homes during the winter holiday season. And with the Winter Solstice, the light returns to us as our days begin to grow longer. Some of us may actually perpetuate the use of these stringed lights throughout the year. And the extensions of warmth that resonate from our softly lit window lamps may inspire our internal quest for drawing near to these gracious spaces unnumbered, all for nestling in and soaking up abundant forms and experiences of light. Our experience of the woundings we may both personally and collectively carry, may feel negative, heavy, and dark – and our souls may likely long for whispers of experience that feel positive, weightless and full of light and hope.

Our longing for the light may be exponentially profound given that we have a significant relationship with light-filled experiences whether we consciously remember the resonating light within us. For some of us, it may be an unconscious remembering that guides us to return and redisover the light. Before the woundings happened to us prenatally, that began the sequenced recapitulations of thematic repetitions throughout our life, we knew deeply the intrinisc experiences of light and lightness given that we were initially not weighted down by the woundings. As the layers of woundings continue to mount during the course of living out our life, we may lose contact with ourselves in varying degrees, and we may forget our connectivity to the light. And yet, we may be drawn to the light now for the mere reason and essential truth that we know these properties of light and lightness within the sagious fibers of our being.

Knowing, forgetting, remembering, and returning may be the necessary layers we cyclically repeat which call us back to the light. When we breathe into the layered aspects of light, we may return to the parts of ourselves that embody our true nature – that being, all that is good. Releasing the darkened spaces within us creates openings for spaces of light. May it be so for us in 2015!
