Welcome to this month’s edition of A Peaceful Pause.

A Peaceful Pause is one of my regular monthly offerings for my closed Substack community, along with The Reset. Each month A Peaceful Pause features a guided audio practice from me.

Viśokā vā Jyotișmatī – Sutra 1.36

As I write this, we’re on the cusp of the Winter Solstice here in the UK (taking place this year on Friday 22^nd December).

To mark the shortest day and longest night of the year I’m sharing a meditation that, if you’ve practised yoga with me over the years or been following me for a while, you may have received from me before. 

Viśokā = blissful
vā = or
jyotișmatī = the supreme light

If you’re feeling the weight of this past year you’re not alone. At times like this it can be easy to succumb to despair and fear and to forget the light within – the light which Yoga Sutra 1.36 reminds us we all possess – which allows us to spread goodness. 

When you feel unsettled, try this simple meditation to remind you of your inner light, which is beyond all fear and worry. 

Blessings to you for the Solstice and beyond.
