Wholly Light

12/21/2025

It’s the Winter Solstice. The season of darkness, reflection and pretending we’re fine. Nature is in full cozy-blanket mode. Trees are resting, the earth is quiet, and light is slowly - very slowly - finding its way back. And surprise, surprise… we’re doing the same thing.

This is the season where emotions pop up uninvited, motivation goes missing, and everything feels a little heavier. That’s not you “losing your sparkle.” That’s your inner world syncing with the dark-to-light reset happening all around you. Darkness isn’t bad...it’s where recalibration happens.

Now add the holidays into the mix… aka forced cheer season 🎄😅. Be joyful! Be busy! Be social! Meanwhile your nervous system is like, “Ma’am, I would like a nap and zero eye contact.” This mismatch messes with the psyche. Hello mood swings, nostalgia, grief, overstimulation and random tears in the car. Totally normal.

Winter is asking us to slow down, not perform. To feel instead of fix. To rest without explaining ourselves. The light comes back when it’s ready, not because it was pushed. Same goes for you.

So here’s to leaning in while we wait, trusting the return of light, and remembering that this, like everything else, is temporary. And yes… I’m laying on the couch writing this between cookie batches in the oven 🍪✨..which feels like a very accurate metaphor for the season.

How are you feeling?

We’ve been moving through a corridor of retrogrades and pressure points that forced a pause rather than progress. Mercury slowed the mind and conversations. Outer-planet shifts stirred old emotional material. What wasn’t resolved came back up—not to punish you, but to be felt. This is why many have experienced fatigue, overwhelm, sadness without a clear story, or the sense of being “on hold.” Retrogrades don’t push us forward; they pull us inward. They ask us to sit with what’s true.

Add collective change, unstable rhythms, and nervous-system overload—and it makes sense if your emotions felt louder, heavier, or harder to move through. This was a season of integration, not action.

Now, as we move toward the remainder of the year, the energy begins to soften and stabilize. Forward motion slowly returns—but gently. Clarity comes in waves, not all at once. The rest of the year is less about fixing and more about recalibrating—deciding what you’re no longer willing to carry into the next chapter.

If you’ve felt slowed down, emotional, or tender: you’re in rhythm with the sky.

Nothing is wrong.

You’re simply recalibrating before the next expansion.

Soul & Energy Alignment is for the moments when your body is tired of pushing, your mind is ready to quiet down, and your energy needs space to settle. This isn’t about doing more — it’s about allowing yourself to receive.

You’ll soften without trying. Your breath will slow. The noise fades. What’s been weighing on you begins to loosen its grip.

People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, deeply grounded — and more like themselves again. The shifts don’t just stay in the room; they ripple into better sleep, calmer reactions, and a steadier nervous system in the days that follow.

With only 2 spots left, now is the moment to listen to what your body’s asking for.

If you’ve been craving calm, clarity, or simply a true pause — this space was created for you. 💫

During our group healing sessions, every person experiences energy differently.
What you feel isn’t random — it’s your body’s intelligent response as it unwinds, releases, and resets.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲:
🔥 Waves of warmth or chills
Temperature shifts happen as circulation and chi rebalance. Warmth often appears where flow is returning; coolness may surface as tension or dense energy releases.

⚡Tingling, pulsing, or vibrations
As the nervous system relaxes and energy channels reopen, subtle currents can feel like soft buzzing beneath the skin — similar to the body’s electrical system coming back online.

🌊 Flowing or rocking sensations
Gentle waves, swaying, or inner movement can occur when fascia and energy fields synchronize. It’s your system restoring rhythm between body, breath, and field.

💧 Emotional release
Tears, laughter, sighs, or a sudden lightness appear when stored emotion leaves the tissues. Energy and feeling travel together — when one moves, so does the other.

🌀 Twitches or small movements
Tiny muscle jumps or spontaneous stretches are natural myofascial releases — the body’s way of discharging residual energy and re-patterning balance.

🌈 Colors, lights, or visuals
With eyes closed, inner sight may awaken. Colors often mirror chakra activity; geometric shapes or light can reflect heightened frequency awareness.

💤 Deep stillness or sleepiness
When the parasympathetic “rest-and-restore” state activates, your temperature, heart rate, and brain waves slow — creating profound calm or brief sleep.

Each sensation is simply your body communicating:

“Something is shifting. I’m finding balance.”

So if warmth turns to chills, if tears mix with peace, or if you drift away for a while — know that it’s all part of the healing conversation between your body and your energy.

11/11 Portal • Jupiter + Mercury Retrograde Energy Update

Today’s 11/11 portal opens a powerful gateway of alignment — a moment when the universe whispers, slow down, listen, and come home to yourself. This sacred number symbolizes awakening, new beginnings, and divine timing. But this year, the energy hits different — because both Jupiter and Mercury are in retrograde, urging us to pause, reflect, and realign before we leap forward.

🌙 What It Means
When Mercury goes retrograde, communication, travel, and technology can feel glitchy — but beneath the surface, it’s a divine invitation to rethink and reconnect. Old conversations resurface, misunderstandings become mirrors, and we’re asked to speak and act with greater awareness.

At the same time, Jupiter — planet of expansion and wisdom — has just begun its retrograde. This isn’t about external growth; it’s about inner growth. It’s a cosmic reminder to look within and ask: What do I truly believe? What dream am I building, and is it still aligned with who I’m becoming?

✨What To Expect
You might feel torn between wanting to move ahead and feeling like the universe hit “pause.” Trust it. This is a time for recalibration, not retreat. You may notice synchronicities, vivid dreams, or emotions surfacing that guide you back to your truth. The 11/11 portal amplifies intuition — so pay attention to signs, numbers, songs, and the quiet nudges from your higher self.

📝 How To Work With It
✨ Ground your energy — breathe, stretch, step outside, and feel the earth beneath you.
✨ Reflect — journal what feels in alignment and what doesn’t.
✨ Communicate with care — words carry more weight right now.
✨ Revisit your dreams — refine them, don’t rush them.
✨ Rest — expansion will come, but only after integration.

The next few weeks (Mercury retrograde) and the months ahead (Jupiter retrograde until early 2026) are your sacred window to realign your path.

You are not falling behind — you’re tuning in. The universe is fine-tuning your frequency.
Breathe. Reflect. Receive. 🌕💖
