Why Solstice is used for spiritual growth?

21-12-2021


Earlier today was the winter solstice. This moment of the year, as well as the summer solstice and both equinoxes are treasured by spiritually aware persons. I had heard about that for some years, but it was not until this year that I learned more about why. In the video of today a reflection on this. 


It is a rather new topic for me, and for that please don´t stay with the literally expressed words but take the direction that I am describing. In terms of terminology, I am learning on this - and it is part of the journey that I share here.  If you follow the journey longer, you will be updated with adjustments, more profound backgrounds etc. After recording this spontaneous video I listened again to the Sadhguru video that I refer to and had listened to months ago (https://youtu.be/bL_QRa7uoXY ). He reflects on the equinox and not on solstice with the balanced energies.    

As common happened, I innocently thought it was the same. Despite mixing between equinox and solstice, the four moments have a similar silent moment in the year that one can actively take advantage of. In this older video from Sadhguru, he is reflecting on the window created at solstices: https://youtu.be/g_3enLcoDMc.  

With the intention of combining the empowering "tools" of the solstice, meditation and leycentra, I meditated in a small chapel at older trees later in the day. For sure next equinox and soltices I´ll be more prepared and take even advantage of the natural peaceful moment to empower the positive evolution. How about you?
