Holiday Energies and the Weight of What Isn’t Ours
Nov 20, 2025
The holiday season often stirs unexpected responses; from cravings, emotional surges, physical sensations that seem to arrive uninvited. These aren’t random. Planetary shifts and energetic patterns active during this time can amplify old roles, reactive habits, and comfort-seeking behaviors.
When long-standing dynamics resurface, especially in the presence of family, subtle energy exchanges often go unnoticed. Emotions may arise that do not originate from within. Energetic boundaries blur. The body becomes a channel for sensations that reflect the surrounding field, not the internal truth. Some of what is felt may be inherited, projected, or simply absorbed.
Energetic discernment becomes essential. Sensations of openness or tightness, expansion or contraction, can act as intuitive signals. The question—“Is this mine?”—invites clarity. Not all energy belongs. In the noise and swirl of the season, slowing down to sense what is true versus what is adopted can begin the quiet work of returning to energetic sovereignty.
