Winter Solstice Meditation & 
Yogic talk of the creation of the universe
We are in a countdown of ever darkening days till the winter solstice December 21st, 2013!  A time of the darkest dark to the brink of increasing light.  It provides an opportunity to delve into our deepest lessons, reflections, and realizations about ourselves, our lives, our inner journey of the soul without attachment or criticism.  To really feel and integrate the changes both obvious and subtle so they truly become part of us.  It is a time to go within and nurture those aspects of ourselves that we have denied, ignored, or neglected as well as to embrace those aspects we have accepted, attended to, or cared  for and to ground it all into our being without regret but with resolve.  This is a closing of our annual trek around our solar birth star and likewise our own individual orbit around our soul.  As the solstice unravels with increasing light,  every step is out of the old and into the new and the only way to be renewed, is to know from what depth we have come...May the darkest dark bring that depth, for no matter how we think, it is from the dark depth that we know the highest light...

-Gayatri Mantra 13x
-Prema's talk about the creation of the universe...
