A Story of Light vs Dark

It’s here - Winter Solstice… the shortest & darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Just like the Sun - seemingly - comes & goes, twice a year and every day, so does the Light in our own individual lives. Some days are bright, light and fun, others are dark, heavy and challenging.

We all know, at least as a concept, that the sun & the light are always present… and yet most of us struggle with and fight against, the shadows, the dark.

What I have found on my personal journey is that everything changed when I started to be with what Is.

I remember the first time I sat with my inner little girl Lotta (short for Charlotte) being truly present. I had known about her for a very long time and done much inner child work in different traditions. I knew her voice, her ins & outs, well. But, until that first time, I had never been fully open and present with her on all levels.

Honestly, I was still rejecting her. It was challenging to admit that this self-righteous, angry, entitled, selfish, blaming and judgmental voice, filled with so much guilt and shame, was Me, or even a part of me. THAT cannot be me.

It was easier to hold a loving but distant stance of knowing that this voice is not what I truly am. I’m a spiritual being in human form, and this is just the voice of my past (belief-system, persona, ego, parasite, etc). Well… as true as that is, as evolved as I am in my spiritual practice and wisdom… that stance did very little to heal the fear my inner baby girl still held on to.

I had to regain enough awareness, personal wisdom, and power, to be able to sit with her, fully present. I had to be willing to meet her completely without any kind of avoidance. She knows… oh boy is her perception acute. I had to regain her trust, so she felt safe enough to show me everything, to open up the bottomless pit of fear, anger, and sadness she had been protecting so fiercely all these years.

It was not easy. It took time. It required a tender, loving persistence, as well as courage. It taught me so much about the human condition and myself. I learned to move from avoidance & resistance, into acceptance & embracement… even in the most intense of emotions. That’s when the magic happened… that’s when Darkness became Light.

In complete acceptance - when everything is allowed to be just as it is, to move just as it wants to move - all separation falls away.

There's no Light vs Darkness... just different expressions of Light itself. There are no longer good or bad feelings, just emotions expressing themselves. I feel them fully and completely as if they are consuming me, and yet I am unruffled by them.

Interestingly, intense fear and intense excitement are incredibly similar, when fully accepted and embraced, free from any story & interpretation… and blissful perfection holds it all in its loving embrace.

On this shortest, darkest day of the year, practice moving out of avoidance and into acceptance… with whatever is present in your life today… and you too will know the blissful perfection that Is in this everlasting moment of now.
