This is a precious time when the darkness comes early and candles glow. Quiet stillness falls in the darkness of winter. In the darkness just one candle flame sheds light for a room. One candle lights the way. Not surprising at all that Hanukkah and Christmas both share the symbols of light with the Winter Solstice.
- How is your light guiding others?
- What are you showing with your light?
You are an infinite luminous light. Did you know that? Take in that thought. Feel what it feels like to be an infinite luminous light. Infinite creative energy flows to you, through you, and out into your world. Breathe that thought in, hold it, and breathe it out.
Open your self to the luminous light
You are a luminous light. You show your light every day you come to work. Your inner light is seen by all- it flickers, it dances, it blazes, it fades- all depending on how you show up. The outer light that you radiate reflects of your inner world.
‘Open your self to the luminous light, the infinite light of the universe’ is a chant I do with my group of Dancers of Universal Peace. Saying these words and taking them deep in to my core feels rich and renewing. I interpret this chant to mean that as an infinite light of the universe, we all share that spark of Divine creation and love. We all have that light within. We radiate out that light to the degree that we allow it to shine through us, as us.
Some people have filters from life experiences that diffuse the light. Some have layers that mute the light. It’s up to you to take off the layers that prevent the full beauty and power of your light to shine.
Sharing your light with others
We shine as brightly as we are open to sharing our light- of peace, of joy, of compassion, of love. Mary Ann Williamson has a marvelous poem about being a light and standing fully in the truth and power of that, not just for yourself but for everyone. ‘As you let your light shine, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same’. As you show patience, tolerance, gratitude, understanding, you model that way for others at work. You serve as a beacon and guide for how to be with one another.
Pay attention this week to what you are showing others about yourself, your inner light. Set your intention to share the light of peace, calm, quiet during an otherwise hectic and possibly stressful week.
Enjoy the quite, the peacefulness of the dark winter nights. There is beauty in the darkness with the flicker of just one candle.
