Feature: Doorways


HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE.....



Following is a written piece by a truly amazing Botanist & Women & healer...Bronwen Gates PhD. You can learn more about her & her gifts @ http://faerieflowers.com/index.html


Dear Friends, Colleagues, Clients, co-adventurers on the journey of life.

Solstice Greetings.

I love these points of turning of the Wheel of the Year, the Solstices and Equinoxes.

I love the way the door opens and closes, a regular punctuation.

And I love the opportunity they offer for reflection, for making new choices and decisions, and for reaffirming existing decisions. The Winter Solstice is such a lovely time when we are buoyed by the awakening of hope within us, seemingly against all odds and reason as we find our selves in winter’s depths. Yet already the light returns.

We receive the gifts honoring the new growth occurring, holding space for the miraculous, so mirrored for us in the Christmas story

We take a moment to welcome Wonder and Delight into our midst.

My very warmest wishes to each of you and your families and loved ones at this Season of Rebirth and Renewal.

May you receive in abundance the Blessings of the Solstice Renewal…

More about the Solstice Portal:

Solstice is a Sacred Portal, a doorway. Today it begins to open, opening to its fullest at 1:08 am, in the wee hours of Saturday morning. It is a doorway that opens into the Future that awaits you, that you have chosen, are choosing, can choose - the Future waiting to be born.

Take some time to think about these questions that are written in your heart:

What is your greatest desire?

Read it in your heart; write it down or tell it to the stars.

What are your most heartfelt wishes for yourself, and those you love – and for this earth that we all share?

Write them down.

Breathe life into them.

Make them glow.

Keep them in a safe place, safe and sacred….

Plant these seed-dreams now with your imagination, or see them already planted, in the New beyond the Portal. Then invite the Guardian of the Gateway to bring to your dream-seeds only those energies that will nourish them and bring them to fruition.

Invite and allow the sorting and sifting, the celebratory burials, so that those energies that could create stillbirth of your dream-seeds can be composted and transformed, and their energy returned to you as nourishment beyond the Portal.

Ask for help in throwing out the garbage – call on the helpers of your Seen and Unseen Worlds to sort and sift, discard and compost. Get an energy-dumpster, fill it, and let it be carted away to be recycled, re-engineered, and returned to you as pure energy on the other side of the Portal.

Breathe Gratitude.

And as you pass through the Portal, open to this New that is only now being born…

And sleep content knowing the work is done.

Solstice Blessings indeed,

Bronwen
