To many Wiccans the time between Samhain (October 31st) and Yule (approx. December 21st) is a time set aside for reflection and meditation. I find this difficult though, because for the average person, this time is the busiest of the year with parties, shopping, dinners, etc.
I don’t know how to balance my spiritual needs with everyday life, especially this time of year.
I'm a mom, wife, needleworker, knitter, wannabe writer, and most of all a spiritual seeker. I'm not sure yet what I believe, but I sure as heck know what I don't believe.
Maybe you can set aside some time everyday to do that. Like an hour every day for reflection and so on.
I never can find a balancing position on that issue, no matter what time of year it is.
Perhaps going with the flow is the true act of balancing. You go with what “pulls” you the most inside to do.
I think.
