Home is the Heart of the Holidays

While Christmas music playlists often include favorites like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” there are also a handful of tracks that go a deeper.

Listen to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” or “White Christmas,” and you’ll hear a deep yearning to be home for the holidays especially when having to spend the holidays somewhere else.

December is filled with Christmas rituals – the TV specials, Live Rockefeller Christmas Lightning, the gifts, the lights, the music, fireplace, hot chocolate, snow, and what remains is home. It is the beating heart of the holiday, and its importance reflects our primal need to have a meaningful relationship with a setting, a place that transcends the boundary between the self and the physical world.

Holiday Spirit Blessings,

Intuition During the Holidays

Intuition is always with us, it is part of our human nature and mind. Working with your intuition and continually practicing using it will strengthen your ability to engage it when you need it.

Sometimes the holidays take us away from our usual routine, which is a good thing, it keeps our minds on our toes with the opportunity to experience something new. Just enjoying your physical senses, seeing, feeling, and hearing the holiday sights, and sounds without any thoughts or judgment exercises your awareness of your intuitive side. See what it recalls in you. This is how intuition comes to us, it pops up and is plain without criticism and just presents itself as it is. You may also enjoy yourself more to take this mini break from the hustle and rush of the holiday season.

You can also use holiday get-togethers to intuitively connect to someone. Take the time when conversing with friends for the family to receive not only what you hear when they speak, but what you feel and sense. Allow yourself to be the witness, the observer, and pay attention to yourself as the listener. You may be surprised at what pops up inside you when you are just present during the conversation and tuned in. This allows you to absorb so much more of what someone is sharing with you beyond their words.

When you’re shopping for a gift during the holidays you can use your intuition to help you choose the best one. Sometimes you may not be sure of what someone would like if you don’t know them well, or you know them too well it may be challenging to know that perfect gift. Here’s how you can use your intuition to help. Say you’re in the store and shopping for a clothing accessory for a friend but you’re not quite sure which color or style they would like. Among the choices in front of you, imagine your friend wearing each one and ask your intuition in your mind which one, choose the good-feeling ones, and use your eyes and your heart.

There are so many wonderful holiday displays, pictures, photographs, and sights that are a feast for your eyes. When you look pay attention to how it makes your heart sing or stir up some wonderful emotions. It’s a great intuition exercise! This all allows your intuition mind to give you impressions. You’ll probably intuitively discover things you didn’t realize before!

Enjoying the holidays is a fun way to exercise your intuition.

Holiday Hot Chocolate Bar Set Up Ideas

Invite guests to come in and warm-up with a decadent hot chocolate. Whether you’re hosting an after-dinner event or a catch-up with friends, hot chocolate bars are always a great idea!

Here’s how to set up the perfect hot chocolate bar:

1. Gather your ingredients: The star of the show is, of course, hot chocolate. Make it from scratch using cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and a dash of salt. If you’re tight on time, store-bought packets work just fine. Just be sure to have plenty to go around!

2. Variations of hot chocolate: Offering a variety of flavors adds a fun twist. Consider white chocolate, dark chocolate, or mint chocolate. If you want to go the extra mile, consider adding specialty flavored syrups or a mocha option.

3. The add-ins: This is where your guests can get creative. Mini marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes, flavored creamers, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can all add unique twists to a classic hot chocolate.

4. The adult options: For an evening gathering, you may want to include adult add-ins like Baileys, Kahlua, or peppermint schnapps.

5. The mugs: While paper cups work just fine, a variety of mugs can add character and style to your hot chocolate bar. You can stick with a theme, mix and match, or ask guests to bring their favorite mug.

6. Keep it hot: Invest in a couple of insulated carafes to keep your hot chocolate warm throughout the party.

7. The decorations: Consider a winter wonderland theme with snowflakes and pinecones or go classic with a cocoa and cream color scheme. Either way, make your hot chocolate bar as visually appealing as it is delicious.

8. Don’t forget the sides: What’s hot chocolate without cookies or brownies on the side? Whip up some sweet treats or ask guests to bring a dish to share.

Lastly, remember the most important ingredient – good company! The fun is in the camaraderie, so invite a great mix of people and enjoy your warm, sweet event. Cheers to a delicious and cozy hot chocolate bar party!

Infinite Blessings,

Kelly 🙂

Good Karma

Karma, it carries no judgmental overtone at all. It is simply reflectance. Reflectance is a property of the universe. Therefore, life reflects what you project. This principle of reflectance or karma states that life reflects your beliefs, emotions and actions. The stronger these are, the more apparent it becomes that life is a mirror of whatever you project.

Whenever you change the way you view life, the universe, just like a mirror, reflects your new view of reality. This may not occur instantaneously as, often, circumstances do not allow the new reflection to immediately manifest. In this case, the new reality is held, like a pressure within the aura of your body’s subtle magnetic field. You then walk around in life, surrounded by this magnetic potential, your “karmic pattern,” as it influences your circumstances to adapt into a form where the new reality will be able to manifest and operate.

Reflectance, sooner or later, produces manifestation. When you don’t like something in your life, the most powerful way to change it is to discover how, consciously or subconsciously, you have generated that reflection. Then change your point of view – the beliefs, viewpoints and energies that you put into your life – so that the reflection is changed.

It’s just like the law in physics: “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.” This law goes much deeper than just a law of mechanical motion. It is how the universe is designed at all levels.

Reflectance is entirely automatic. When you seek more happiness from life, the mirror of life will shine more happiness back upon you, just as soon as you decide, within yourself, to become a happier person. Then it will reflect your new reality.

Love, Kelly

Wednesday Wisdom -Self Care

We all exist within an energy field that is created by our collective emotions, feeling, thoughts and energy. It is this collective field that shapes the physical world and subconsciously influences all who exist within in it. The majority seldom consider it or even know that it is there and yet it influences us in significant ways. In these times of global crisis and upheaval the collective field becomes agitated as feelings of worry, anxiety, and fear are triggered by external events. These feelings flood the field and ultimate pervade our subconscious influencing and affecting our individual state of being.

It is important that in this week particularly you are very mindful of your energetic state while allowing the energy of this time to flow through you without resistance or effort. Make sure to consistently reinforce and strengthen your energetic boundaries. Focus on staying grounded and present in the moment. If you are feeling spaced out or overwhelmed, make sure to center your attention on your body and your breath. Self-care and energy maintenance are important now.  

Love, Kelly ❤
