Intuitive tools for December
The 12/12 gateway as a focusing lens
12/12 is not an astronomical event, it is a collective intention date many use for meditation. Try a 12-minute visual on a subtle octagram (eight-point star) to symbolize stability within change. Use it to release stale narratives and adopt neutral, compassionate awareness.
A quick body-scan for alignment
Once a day, scan head to toe and ask: Where am I gripping? What needs softness? Replace resistance with one grounded act, like water, sunlight, or a 10-minute walk.
Gratitude, then boundaries
Gratitude expands capacity, boundaries protect it. List three gratitudes nightly, then identify one boundary that keeps those gratitudes alive tomorrow.
