Embracing My Inner Heaven
I find myself contemplating the unique nature of this season. It’s a time when joy and celebration are expected to fill the air, yet, I sense a different rhythm this year. The vibrant energy that usually marks this season feels absent, replaced by a neutral, almost distant ambiance. This unexpected shift in the atmosphere has led me to introspect and seek a deeper connection with my inner self.
I learned the importance of tuning into the Universe’s wisdom, especially in moments when the external world doesn’t resonate with my inner being. It’s in these times that I turn to my spiritual practices to seek balance and harmony. The ritual story I’m about to share is born from this need to reconnect with my inner warmth and serenity, especially when the world outside seems cold and detached.
This narrative is a reflection of my spiritual journey, a reminder that even amidst the coldest and most distant of external environments, the warmth I seek can always be found within. It’s an exploration of how I navigate these contrasting energies and find my way back to a place of inner peace and warmth. Join me as I share this ritual story, a testament to the power of inner resilience and the sanctuary we can create within ourselves, regardless of the external climate.
A Warm Refuge from the Cold
As the world outside embraces the frosty air of Christmas Eve, I find myself enveloped in a different atmosphere – one that feels remote, neutral, almost aloof. The usual festive spirit seems distant, like a melody played far away, leaving the air around me tinged with a cold that seeps through the festive lights and decorations. As I go through old journal entries, this is a stark reminder of the revelation I received on July 11, 2017, when the Universe whispered:
Heaven is a state of mind more than it is a place. Heaven resides within you. You can go there whenever you want.
Shutting my eyes to the chill of the world, I draw a deep, life-affirming breath, each inhalation a bridge to my inner sanctuary, where my personal Heaven blooms in defiance of the cold. This inner realm isn’t merely a place of refuge; it’s a vivid energetic flow of warmth and love, a stark contrast to the external coldness.
In the heart of this sanctuary, I envision a sun-drenched glade, illuminated by the soft, golden light of a never-setting Sun. The centerpiece of this glade is a magnificent fire lily, its petals a burst of orange and red flames, symbolizing resilience and warmth. The flower radiates a comforting heat, a stark antithesis to the external cold, and seems to dance with life, swaying gently as if in rhythm with my heartbeat.
The air is thick with the scent of pine and cedarwood, a rich, earthy aroma that grounds me in the present. This scent is interlaced with the sweet warmth of cinnamon and cloves, weaving a cocoon of warmth around me.
I hear the gentle crackle of a fire nearby, its warm, soothing tones a balm to my spirit. The fire casts a soft, welcoming glow, inviting me closer, its heat penetrating the chill that the outer world imposes.
As I explore this internal haven, I taste the rich flavor of hot cocoa on my tongue, its creamy warmth a reminder of comfort and self-care. The velvety liquid seems to spread its warmth from within, reaffirming the power of internal serenity against external harshness.
Here, in this sanctum, the external world’s neutrality and distance are replaced by a profound inner connection and warmth. The cold detachment that pervades the outside is countered by a deep, heartfelt warmth within. I am part of the world yet insulated from its biting cold.
Raising a prayer to Spirit, I am enfolded in an aura of warmth and guidance.
Please, continue to guide my steps. Lead me with the right action at the right moment.
I feel a reassuring presence, a guiding light that assures me that I am on the right path, protected from the cold.
With each breath, this inner Eden nurtures and fortifies me, instilling an inner warmth that counters the external chill. The comfort and tranquility of this internal realm envelope my essence, transforming how I perceive and interact with the cold, distant world.
In this moment, within my inner Heaven, I find a sanctuary of warmth, a refuge from the cold. It’s a celebration of inner fortitude and warmth, a testament to the enduring power of my spirit. Here, in my sanctuary, I am surrounded by warmth, and I am at peace.
