Take some time to hibernate...

Posted on 11 December 2025

so you can recharge by the end of the year.

How a little rest can change a lot

With the onslaught of the holiday season, I am drawn to retreating into the deepness of the abyss of my sanctuary and soul. Wrapped up in my cashmere throw, watching a fire, and curling up with a good book or writing in my journal, are all ways that I perform acts of self care during wintertime. Since spiritual mastery is something that I have been working on over the past few years, I have noticed the quiet times of reflection are when my most profound ideas or epiphanies happen. This time begs for a period for rest and restoration. As with each season we must pause and wait for everything to settle before it starts to move again with great speed. Even though I cannot fathom the idea of not doing anything for months, I do indulge in the idea of slow is fast. So as the year comes to a close in just a few short weeks, I want to encourage you to set an intention to listen to your body. Slow down before it makes you come to a halting stop. Sometimes we just don't know when to hit the pause button, but our bodies do- if only we would listen. This is a natural way for us as humans to recognize our power of calmness within, without looking to outside sources to soothe us. Give yourself the gift of slowing down. You might find that you accomplish more by doing less. If you need help with this contradictory thought process in our fast paced world, consider scheduling a session with me or working with me long term to cultivate a lifestyle of peace and pleasure.

The Substitute | Society

For those who want to create that peaceful and calming feeling within, try The Substitute this holiday season. By using The Substitute throughout the day, you can immediately recenter yourself with grounding breaths to restore your energy system. The Substitute is also the perfect gift to give someone who may be dealing with stress or depression, or for someone who smokes who might like to smoke less, as The Substitute is smokeless (meaning you can use it anywhere). Give the gift of life, and watch how anger dissolves, anxiety unravels, and sets the stage for a conscious approach to life as opposed to constantly reacting with heightened emotion. Sometimes the best thing to do is take a moment and pause before speaking, or doing something you may regret. We have been taught that slowing down is not an option in this world, but we do have the choice to not listen to what we have been told. The Substitute helps you remember your true divinity, connecting your mind to the body by way of the breath, recharging your life force energy. Get one for you, a friend, and a family member to restore yourselves before winter comes...

TAOS | The Art of Style

It's not too late to start a Style Registry for everyone to contribute to your Gift of Style. Simply message me to schedule your design session for your pattern of choice, and have the special people in your life start to contribute by purchasing a digital gift card online. Everyone who contributes to your Gift of Style will be overjoyed that they are doing their part to give you the gift your really want this year. Shop consciously and be rewarded. All who add to your Style Registry will be acknowledged with a card in the end, which will allow you to feel gratitude for the people who made the magic happen behind the scenes. As it is never about the money spent, but the thought that counts, The Style Registry is the ultimate solution for getting exactly what you want (and giving the perfect gift without guessing). It is a simple solution for those who want to give and get without the hassle. You don't even need to leave the comfort of your home to hook up the ones you love. Hibernate away the holiday season, and give the gift that keeps on giving. Simply add the person's name into the memo field when you purchase a digital gift card, and all that contribute to your one of a kind piece will be full of joy that they gave you what you really wanted to perfectly express your personality and style into the world. You can have it all...

Intimate Conversations with Lady Kendra

Join me every Monday at 21 CET on Instagram Live as I talk about life and such. This is my way to have a conversation with the world about things that may be touchy or taboo. For me, there is no such thing. This is also part of my silent revolution of peace and love, to talk about how we can come together as a community and show up as our highest selves. This week I talked about hibernation. Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. If you want to go deeper, please schedule a Soul Session or come to a Transformative Experience in Florence, Italy. In the meantime, join the conversation and follow the journey @kendraleonard.
