Winter Solstice Kirtan Kriya

In winter, the solstice is the shortest day of the year. It is about embracing the darkness and patiently awaiting the return of the light. We must find comfort in the cold, dark, empty discomfort. Slow down. Listen. Pause, reflect, and integrate. Snow covers the ground, and all of life starts to slow down. The plants retract into themselves, and many animals find a warm and safe place to rest and hibernate. We do the same internally, preparing for more stillness, slowness, and solitude. The days get shorter and the darkness invites more time for contemplation. While the earth silently sleeps, seeds are suspended below the ground. Nature teaches us the important lesson of rest and preparation. It is necessary for growth. We honor this time and find space to turn inward. Breathe. Instead of rushing, we take a break and slow down. Kirtan Kriya is a meditation chant exercise originating from India and was likely first utilized in the practice of kundalini yoga. Kirtan meditation practice involves a combination of chanting a simple mantra that consists of ancient sounds while using repetitive finger poses or mudras. This simple meditative exercise reduces stress levels, increases circulation in the brain, promotes focus and clarity, and stimulates mind-body-spirit connection.
