Sit quietly and ensure that you will not be disturbed. To raise the positive vibrations and set the scene you may wish to light a candle and have some soft background music playing.

Before you begin ground and center yourself and ask Archangel Michael for protection during this exercise.

Next, ask for your guides to draw near and also if it is for your highest good, for a member of the Kaleidoscope Collective or Archangel Sandalphon to work with you to send healing to the planet.

Now, visualize a large tall being of light holding a beautiful ball of energy begin to materialize before you.

When you have established a firm link with this energy, start to visualize a representation of the Earth (you may see the planet or something slightly different that represents it) and place this in the middle of the ball of energy that the light being is holding.

See the energy slowly spin around and within the Earth and then see this energy begin to expand.

Feel your heart center open. If you wish, connect with this energy via your heart center and fill your being up with the beautiful, positive healing energies.

Replenish yourself and then slowly release and see the energy extend further to others around the globe.

Now, see the image of the earth slowly dissipate, thank the light being for their love, knowledge and healing and say goodbye.

Slowly, open your eyes. Now, ground and center yourself again.

You may wish to record any thoughts, feelings or experiences you have had after this visualization.

I have completed this visualization working with my development groups and during seminars and workshops. It can be a very strong and beautiful healing experience and can be repeated whenever you wish. In the month of December we also celebrate the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice or ‘Yule’ occurs usually around or on the 21st December in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere it is known as the Summer Solstice. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year, and is traditionally the time to celebrate the important things in your life: your family, your children, your home and a time for looking forward to a wonderful year to come. This is the turning point of the year, as following after the longest night the sun grows stronger in the sky and the days gradually become longer again. Therefore, the Winter Solstice is also a celebration of rebirth. Pagans often celebrate Yule by burning the hearth fires of the magical Yule log. In Celtic Druid culture the Winter Solstice is celebrated by hanging mistletoe over a doorway or in a room to offer goodwill to all visitors. Germanic tribes use to decorate a pine or fir tree with candles and other small items. The Inca also held midwinter ceremonies at temples that served as astronomical observatories like Machu Pichu. In England, many people gather together at Stonehenge Stone Circle to celebrate and watch the sunrise on the day of the Winter Solstice. Celebrating this event through performing a ritual to harness the new energy or creating something beautiful that can symbolise what it represents for you is a very positive way to embrace change at this time.
