Seeds of Insight 53: December at MindRest - Back to the Original Womb

The month of December at MindRest is called Healing Darkness. Not that there is darkness to heal, but that the darkness itself is healing. It’s an invitation to retreat from the world of lights, objects, intentions and into the womb of the night of winter. There, you can meet yourself as you are - naked, unembellished, imperfect, struggling. And you can tend to yourself with great compassion and love. That’s the living possibility to be reborn at Christmas.
