Rest

The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year.  It’s a time to rest.  To go within and find restorative balance.  This card is a reminder to take some time out from our daily worries to find peace from within.  To allow ourselves to breathe deeply.  To sleep.  To allow the opportunity for quiet reflection to enable us to get more in touch with our soul’s deepest needs.  Through doing this, we nourish our vitality.

The yin and yang of life means rest is as essential as celebration.  We all need time to reconnect with our own spiritual source of nourishment.  When there is such stillness around us that we can truly listen to our inner voice.  When we can hear the words of wisdom come from our soul. 

Sometimes this card can be a reminder that we might simply need to give ourselves permission to take some time out for ourselves. All of us need time to recharge.

Perhaps your way of feeling well rested comes from doing something which gives you great joy? Something that nourishes you and gives you a deep sense of fulfillment? Whatever the case, just remember you're also important and also deserve the time to rest.
