Holidays. These times can be glorious, beautiful, and filled with love. They can also be stressful, triggering, and filled with dread. So what can we do to create more potential for experiencing the former and not the latter? Well, let’s dive into some thoughts and support!

The following suggestions are all inspired from teachings that I have shared with the membership that I run. For those of you who are already subscribed to the Awakening Spirit Membership, you can simply click on the link and connect directly to the support in the membership. If you are not a member and would like to have full access to the following support sharings for the holidays, we would LOVE to have you join us! Join Today!

Not ready to say yes to joining us? It’s all Divine. Take in what follows and create your own from these suggestions!

• Connect to Your Breath This is a staple breath practice that is simple and powerful. It connects your heart energy to your breathing and assists you to remember that all is well. Remember to consciously breathe; not only when things become stressful BUT in order to prevent them from becoming so.

• The Bubble Use this simple practice to discern your energy from someone else's and give yourself a temporary break from energy overwhelm. Use a practice of protecting your energy from the energy of other people and other environments. This will assist you in maintaining your frequency of peace and joy.

• Grounding Take off your shoes and get your feet on the ground or your hands in the dirt. Ok. Ok. I know.  For many of us, it is winter. Just getting outside will do you good as well, but if you can get your feet onto the planet, you can recharge and create a more balanced state of being.

• Mantra for bringing in balance, centering of energy, connecting to self and others Stay focused, clear, and in alignment. Use a mantra that you create or use the following…I am safe. I am birthing a new version of myself. I trust the process. I am worthy of love. I stand in my truth. I see with clarity. I feel oneness and unity with all. The use of a mantra will remind you to keep centered.

• Boundaries Boundaries establish the rules for your frequency. Use boundaries to declare how to keep your relationships functional.  They are not a way to cut people out. So, get clear on what works for you BEFORE connecting with people and events throughout the holidays.  Be prepared with how to keep your frequency elevated.

• Give Yourself Permission to Step Away Sometimes you just need to step out. When you are hitting the overwhelmed point, take a break.

• Use this Morning Practice to Start Your Day This practice anchors high-frequency energy within you as you begin your day in conscious gratitude, through the acknowledgment of being alive and having a body that works for you. This fuels your embodied intention for what you are creating for your day. Use this and see how your life shifts. Moving through the holidays will require conscious choice and presence, so start your days clear with how you intend to experience them.

• Finding Peace in Connection Meditation This meditation is my free offering this month. You can find it in your Consciousness Check-in email for December 2022. Not on my email list? Click here to sign up!

• Relaxation Meditation Find and connect with a meditation that will allow you to relax. This lovely meditation experience brings you into awareness of your physical body, emotional body, and spiritual body while giving the mind body a break. Deeply relaxing. Grab your comfy clothes for this one. You may fall asleep. A great one to do at bedtime.

• Use a 7-day support plan! Here is my holiday gift to you. The following are incredible messages that will support you. These were a purchase option I created last season and I am gifting them to you now! They are offered in daily doses for seven days. However, you can use them however you like!

Wishing you the most peaceful of holiday seasons. 

Three Things to Know in This Month’s Energy

1. Cosmic dates and influences to pay attention to: Full moon in Gemini on 12/7 brings in the arrival of a consciousness push with bumpy energies of duality offering much to release. Mercury retrograde pre-phase begins on 12/11 and offers another round of communication uplevel opportunities preparing to launch us into full retrograde at the end of the month on 12/29.  The Geminids meteor shower peaks on 12/13 and your inner knowing and dream states will peak right along. Winter Solstice arrives on 12/21 bringing in the arrival of the peak moment of our darkness/wintering experience and birthing us into the ascent of lighter days. A super new moon in Capricorn moves in on 12/23 and adds in a super-packed punch of new beginnings of another massive uplevel in consciousness. That sense of knowing, that amplified through the Geminids meteor shower earlier in the month, will expand x100 and leave many not understanding how they know what they know. Get ready to enter 2023 in a whole new frequency.

2. December 2022 brings in a new call to awareness. A greater clarity and knowing will be found within you this month. You are being asked to surrender more fully than you ever have before; to relax the ego/mind that seeks to control and fully trust in YOUR mastery presence. New awareness around opportunities to serve others will be found when the harmony of the neutral space activates your inner light and you finally see the master that you are. As you receive, so shall you offer. As you offer, so shall you receive. As you embody both, you hold the container for balance, love, and Unity. As YOUR knowing amplifies, remember that you are your own guru and greatest teacher. This is important as we move into 2023. Many holidays come to us this month. And as they arrive, this is a time to look within for your center and be in your truth from a place of compassion for all.

3. You may become aware of the shifting timelines and what almost feels like open doors/gateways from timeline to timeline and dimension to dimension. As December is a consciousness becoming aware of itself through the choices made in November, it has many potentialities for uprising, death/rebirth, and tower moments. The only consistency will be inconsistency.  Many pivots will be asked of you. Stay focused in your now moment and call in peace. As things continue to crumble from last month, remember that the influence of Mars and Mercury retrograde will create a push/pull experience and some changes in financial systems, glitches in technology, and weather/planetary events are possible. Choose with consciousness how you navigate these times and transition from one way of our world into a new way. You may not see some things coming, but you can choose consciously in how you respond.
