Energetically, we are in the midst of several shifts: the seasons are shifting with the winter solstice having taken place a few days ago; the lunar cycle has just transitioned from new moon to the waxing gibbous moon; and the transition from this year into the next year is just ahead.
As you may know, we are also currently at the beginning of Twelvetide (aka the Twelve Days of Christmas or Yuletide) which is usually celebrated with daily rituals such as meditating, smudging and – journaling.
There is something magical about this time of year.
A time of contemplation and re-connecting with your darkness (your wounds) as well as with your light (your truth).
Rituals give me stability during times of shifts and changes. That is part of why I will often do a cacao ceremony on a full moon, a new moon, my birthday, or the new year – usually accompanied by some journaling.
If you also find comfort in taking some time to reflect and align with your intentions, here are some prompts for journaling in preparation for the new year.
