Raunächt rediscovered: Yoga workshop brings old rituals back!

Kiel, Deutschland - On December 27, 2024, a special workshop under the direction of Christin Paustian took place in the yoga center in Kiel. On this day, 18 women took part in leaving everyday life and the ballast of the old year behind and dealing with the mystical murmurets. This special time is celebrated between Christmas and January 6th and has enormous importance in European customs.

The workshop offered an atmosphere, shaped by essential oils, candlelight and yin yoga exercises. Participants were looking for relaxation and self -reflection, while others were interested in the traditional rituals who are connected to the murmurers. This includes superstition such as the ban on hanging laundry and smoking stables and houses. The Raunächt is increasingly receiving new attention in social media and bookstores. Christin Paustian sees this time as an opportunity for self -reflection, in which different views of esotericism met with the participants.

wishes and rituals for the new year

As part of the workshop, the women prepared twelve wish cards that are to be burned during the murmurers. Paustian gave seven tips on how the murmurers can be used:

• Write down dreams in the morning.
• reflect on the experiences of the day in the evening.
• go into nature and scatter the ashes of the desired cards.
• smoking with dried sage.
• tidy up and clean beforehand.
• mucking out inner mucking out and old beliefs.
• meditate and/or try yoga.

The goal for 2025 is a greater calm and serenity.

In addition, the period of the murmurets, which begins on December 21 with the winter solstice and lasts until January 2, is described as a holy time. In this phase, which is also considered a "big break" in the year, it is important to pause and concentrate on the essentials. It is possible to practice individual rituals and receive the qualities for the next 12 months. For interested parties, online meditations are also offered every day from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on the respective day quality, as on Satpad.yoga
