Amazing Greenland!

💚 A winter solstice blessing💚

„May the longest night
and the shortest day
bring rest to your mind
and soul, I pray.
May you find guidance
and may you find peace
as the circle of light
will slowly increase.
Embrace the magic
that the darkness bears
breath deep in the chill
and shift in the air.
May you always be blessed
with the light from within
and may well-being be yours
as a new cycle begins.”

Sending lots of love and light from Iceland, where we celebrate the winter solstice today. May all your days that follow be abundantly blessed with more light! 💚

Inhale.
Exhale.
Re-member.
Re-connect.
Trust.
Everything is gonna fall right into place again.
