The winter solstice is upon us which means it’s a good time for reflection and introspection! With mercury in retrograde and the holiday season in full swing, we are experiencing a paradoxical push-pull energy which makes us feel like we’re in a Chinese finger trap - the more you struggle, the tighter it grips!
 
Questions to ask yourself during this time:

What is coming up for you where you feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place?
What keeps rattling around in your heart & mind that will not release its grip? 
What is frustrating you in your life? Where are you feeling a pressure point?
What are your self-care rituals & are you asking for support beyond yourself?

 
Amanda reminds us that the tighter the tension, the more opportunity we have to uncover hidden treasure for transformation and growth! We can receive support and guidance in the most unlikely of places: during a commercial on the radio, in the lyrics to a song, listening to a podcast, or having a conversation with a friend - the words you need to hear will appear to you. 
 
The winter solstice is a great time to set an intentional practice whether it be journaling, meditation, prayer, connecting with spirit guides, or reading oracle cards. Check out Amanda’s 5-Minute Open Eye Meditation after the episode to get you started! 
 
Release your tight grip on whatever is creating confusion- it’s time to lean in, get softer, ask for help, and let things flow. This is a time of trust and patience so focus on quality time, interactions & being present!
