In the darkest days of the year, when it seems the light has fully withdrawn, something curious happens: darkness is never eternal.
The winter solstice reminds us of this. For three days, night prevails. But on December 24, light begins to return.
This time of year is rich in symbolism.
It’s no coincidence that cultures like the Egyptian, Roman, or Christian traditions chose this moment to mark births, rebirths, and new beginnings.
Beyond tradition, there’s a deep message: balance is not a fixed state, but a cyclical process.
It always has been.
Life is not about reaching a perfect balance and staying there.
Quite the opposite: losing balance is part of the path.
And through that movement between light and shadow, transformation happens.
What if balance was never meant to be static?
Imagine there’s no perfect, stable meadow where you build your inner peace forever.
Imagine balance is something you create and lose again and again, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Growth lives in the swing, not in the stillness.
Balance isn’t a fortress.
It’s a dance.
Learning to move with it is a form of health.
Your life follows a cycle too
Like day and night, like the seasons, your life also moves through moments of clarity and moments of confusion.
This is not a failure.
It is nature.
Recognizing this natural rhythm allows us to live with more flexibility and less self-pressure.
How do you live your imbalance?
Maybe you feel unsteady.
Like the ground beneath you has shifted.
Maybe it’s not punishment.
Maybe it’s an invitation.
In Gestalt Therapy, we work precisely with this:
how to support ourselves when balance is lost,
so we can build a new one — more honest, more alive, more yours.
If something in this resonates, perhaps you’ve already started listening to what your inner process is asking for.
And if now is the time to take a step, I’m here.
