The Great Awakening
You may have heard some people talking about “The Great Awakening” …
The Winter Solstice…
Or the rare chance to see a Christmas Star…
Let’s start by talking a little bit about what all of this means.
Tonight will be the longest night of the year as we officially enter the Winter Season combined with a very special
Cosmic Shift.
As we crossover into the Age of Aquarius, for the first time in almost 800 years, Jupiter and Saturn (the two biggest worlds in our solar system) will meet and form The 2020 Grand Conjunction.
This shift will release POSITIVE energies setting the stage for Transformation, Growth, Alignment…
Just like conception happens in the darkness, energy shifts are not most noticeable when they first take place. But a seed has been planted that will germinate into something beautiful if we nurture it.

It is important to be mindful of how we react to this shift.
Listen to your body and do what feels best for you. Here are a few methods that I personally practice and incorporate into my routine that you may choose to use as a baseline for your own:
Intention Setting- Focus on what it is you wish to bring forward as we enter the New Year.
Practice Self Care- Do whatever makes you feel good. Take a bath, practice yoga, read a book etc.
Express Creativity- Let it all out. Doodle, Paint, Dance, whatever feels right to you!
Journal- Write letters to yourself or others, focus on gratitude, list positive affirmations…
Stay Hydrated- An energy shift like this can be draining so drink lots & lots of water!
Practice Mindfulness- Focus on your breathing and think with intention behind each thought.
Rest!!!
Remember, each of us as an individual has the power to control our own lives, and that is all we have control over.
In the (candle)light of darkness, write down what you wish to see bloom in your life over the next year. Speak it out loud into existence. And so it is. What a beautiful display of the gentle dance between the gracious light and the ever-unfolding darkness of life. It's all happening for you. 🖤

All of us are on our own journeys taking different paths through life.
We cannot control what obstacles cross our path.
We cannot control how others act.
We can control how we react to each new lesson that comes our way.
By being mindful of how we treat our Mind, Body, & Spirit during this great energetic experience we are already one step closer toward intentionally bringing forward Peace, Balance, and Happiness in our lives.

Although each of us are on our own path and can only control ourselves, our collective positivity and support for one another as we embark on our personal journeys will always bring light to times that may feel like never ending darkness.
It has been a difficult year for all and now it is time for us to feel the positive shift as we use this great energy from this rare experience to Heal, Grow, and Transform.
Love, Good Vibes, and Happy Solstice! <3
