Let Your Light Shine
A message from Dr. David Meredith, D.Ac.
It’s the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the longest night. And it’s the most Yin time in the cycle of seasons… dark, cool, settled, quiet, heavy.
It’s also the time of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Dongzhi, Shab-e Yalda, St. Lucia’s Day, Las Posadas. Holidays and cultural celebrations with the theme of “light in the darkness.” Yang within Yin. Necessary reminders that, however low we go, there is an equivalent height we will reach, if we are just patient for a bit, if we can give ourselves and our loved ones a bit of extra care to get us through the long night.
A lot of people are finding things particularly dark this year. Behind the closed doors of my treatment rooms, they confide that they are having trouble feeling the joy they normally feel around the holidays. They dread connecting with members of their family or community who don’t understand their particular despair. They don’t see anything worth celebrating.
I do. I see it in them. Obscured a bit by other concerns, perhaps—pains or hopeless emotions or other confounding symptoms—I can still see their potential, their strengths, their unique inner light that could ignite their spirit and brighten the world around them if only they could see it, too.
Wellness isn’t just self-care. It isn’t just good nutrition and exercise and deep breathing. It’s not just acupuncture, massage, red light therapy, PEMF, vibroacoustic therapy, salt rooms, and infrared saunas (although those are a good start!)…
It’s your relationship with the world around you… the connection to the seasons, yes, but also the tending of that little light of yours. Can you feel it inside of you? Can you project it outward to enlighten the terrain around you? Can you connect it to the other points of light in your community and bring hope to many?
On this dark solstice, remember… stars are visible in the darkness, individual pinpoints coming together into constellations that can guide us toward a brighter future.
