In this blog, I will explore how the Christmas spirit represents the Divine Spirit incarnated on Earth, embodying love, generosity, and joy. Over time, the figure of Santa Claus has taken center stage, diverting attention away from the deeper spiritual meaning of the season.
As children, we are introduced to Santa as a magical being who brings gifts and joy, but eventually, we are told that Santa isn’t real. This moment often creates a subtle shift in our belief systems, tying into the loss of faith in the divine. By unraveling this connection, we can rediscover the sacred essence of Christmas and its spiritual significance.
As children, the joy we felt at Christmas was undeniable—perhaps it was sparked by the excitement of toys and gifts, but the deeper sense of wonder came from seeing the world through innocent eyes. In that innocence, we were naturally closer to the Divine Spirit, embracing the magic of the season with pure hearts.
The happiness we experienced wasn’t just about the material gifts; it was a reflection of being in tune with the sacred energy that Christmas embodies. It was a time when our connection to the Divine felt effortless, and we could fully appreciate the love, peace, and joy that flowed through the season.
When we were told that Santa wasn't real, it marked a profound shift in our lives. That moment signaled a transition from the magical, spiritual world of childhood to the more pragmatic, material-focused realm of adulthood. It wasn’t just the loss of a beloved figure but the beginning of a disconnect from the enchantment and spiritual energy that once felt so natural.
As we grew older, we became more immersed in the material aspects of life, often leaving behind the sense of wonder and belief in something greater that had once filled our hearts. This shift steered us towards adulthood, where practicality and tangible realities often replaced the deep, spiritual connection we once held.
One key element of enlightenment is the process of remembering what we’ve forgotten, and in truth, it wasn’t that long ago. As we grow, we often lose touch with the innocent wonder and spiritual connection we once had as children.
One powerful way to rediscover this is by reconnecting with your inner child—the part of you that once believed in magic, possibility, and the Divine. By acknowledging and apologizing for the moment you stopped believing, you can begin to heal that disconnection. This act of reconnection allows you to embrace the spiritual essence that has always been within you, opening the door to a more enlightened and fulfilled path.
During a fire ceremony at Ketchum, I called out to my inner child, inviting him to join me.
He appeared at my side, gently holding onto my leg, and I pulled him closer with my arm, embracing him. In that moment, I apologized for not believing in him—for letting him roam alone for so many years while I was disconnected from the magic and wonder we once shared.
I reassured him that from now on, he would be safe with me, because I now remember and believe. It was a powerful reconnection, one that reignited the bond between us and reaffirmed that we are whole again.
Connecting with your inner child is a transformative experience that will make you feel whole, bringing peace and guiding you toward enlightenment. By reuniting with the part of you that once believed in magic and wonder, you restore the balance between your past and present self.
Meditation is a powerful conduit for this connection, allowing you to quiet the mind and open the heart to the presence of your inner child. Once you join forces, the road ahead becomes one of bliss, filled with joy, understanding, and spiritual fulfillment.
Wishing you a very merry Christmas this October, as you embark on this beautiful journey!
