Let your Heart be Light.

Written 12/25/19

This line from the classic Christmas carol can be a sweet reminder to breathe, relax and to find the joy today and throughout the season. 

For many of us, the holidays are NOT the most wonderful time of the year. We head home to our families of origin where past traumas get relived and old roles are confirmed. Or we are away from our families by choice or circumstance and that brings up many feelings as well. We are told to be happy however, Lonliness, grief, resentment and depression are so common this time of year. 

it is important to acknowledge our feelings and also to know that we have the power to let our hearts be light.  

Let- - there is nothing to do. You don’t have to force anything. just allow the light in. 

Your heart- the center of your loving presence- be kind and compassionate to yourself and your heart will open.

Be- just breathe and feel the aliveness of being in the moment. 

Light- a lifting of your burdens. a focus on all that is good. Also a shift out of the darkness.  

Let your heart be light. 

And remember, 

We have passed the darkest day of the year and we are headed into the light. 

Keep your focus there and welcome it in to your heart.
