Happy Winter Solstice!

Inviato il 5 Gennaio 2024

It's the shortest day of the year...

Rebirth, renewal, and return to the light

It's the darkest day of the year that signifies various things for many different cultures. It is quite a magic moment. While many people focus on the winter solstice as a day on the calendar, what we are actually talking about is a very specific moment which is over almost as soon as it has begun. It is also a time where the sun stands still, winter officially begins, and we have the earliest sunset. A lot to look forward to. As days start to grow longer again, it is often seen as a time of hope and new beginnings. On this day, I wish you all to take this moment in time to celebrate all that you have cultivated this year. Regardless of whether you achieved all of your goals or not, you are still here, and that in itself is an accomplishment. Just as the leaves fall and nourish the earth it lands on, with each step we take, it grounds us in moving towards what's next in life. Take some time to rest and reflect, this is, after all, the time of hibernation in which we all need to recover and restore all that has transpired this year in order to patiently wait for what's to bloom in the spring. Remember that no matter who you are, or what you're doing, you're exactly where you are supposed to be on your soul journey. As winter ushers in some cold days and darkness that comes from skies of grey, we can meet our shadow self, embrace all the darkness within us, look to the light to expose the deepest sides of ourselves, as we seize the moment and all that is to come in the future.

Need help seeing the light (or confronting the darkness)

If you or someone you know needs help during this time of year, please consider reaching out to me and scheduling a consultation. You can also give the Gift of Change. I help people deal with family trauma, recognizing their inner child, and uncovering their shadow so that all parts can shine brightly from within. This is not easy work, but it is the most gratifying work that you will ever do. And it not only has lasting effects on you and your life in every aspect, but it impacts the people in your life. Give yourself the gift of hope and invest in yourself. It is never to late to heal old wounds, nurture yourself, and learn from your past so you can truly live in the present moment and be full of gratitude, so that the future you've always dreamed of really can come true...

THE SUBSTITUTE

Out of the darkness of what I thought was going to be my death did I come up with the idea of THE SUBSTITUTE. My lungs were completely contaminated when I discovered I had pneumonia a few years ago, and that was scary. It took me a month to rebuild my lungs to be able to breathe normally again. This was because I always used to say things like 'I don't know how to relax' and 'I just like the art of inhaling,' so the Universe gave me a taste. (Word of caution: be careful what you say, because it becomes so, just as thinking does.) But after these dark days, well months, cause it took me three months to function normally again, I had this brilliant idea that I have been able to share with the world now for almost five years- the concept of breathing. Breath is life and it has numerous benefits for us all. Besides calming down our nervous system and giving us mental clarity, it also provides relief from pain and tension, stress and depression, anxiety and nervosa, not to mention improving our sleeping habits, blood quality, boosting our energy levels, massaging our organs, strengthening our immune system and muscles, corrects posture, aids in digestion and weight control, reduces blood pressure and heart rate, promotes cell rejuvenation, and helps us raise our awareness and consciousness. Come together as one this holiday season and JUST BREATHE with THE SUBSTITUTE. It's only $20, free international shipping, durable and charitable.

The Books- Available on Amazon and Audible (and Italian)

This only happens one time of year (but it will come again for you)...

Take time to nourish your mind, body, and soul this winter season.
