December 21st marks the Winter Solstice, a time when Yin energy reaches its peak. While the holiday season often demands hustle and activity, nature is actually calling us to do the opposite: to turn inward, rest, and reflect. Wellness expert Dreama Vance explains why resisting this natural rhythm causes stress, and how pausing to enjoy a moment of stillness can help you move back into a state of flow and grace.

In sixth grade, Lori pointed to an X-ray and asked where the soul was—a question that was met with ridicule. Years later, on a bitter winter night, she steps away from the warmth of her home to find the answer. It wasn’t in the bones of a skeleton, but waiting for her in the stars.

This piece invites readers to navigate the holiday season by honoring their emotions as inner guidance, not obstacles. Ann Albers explains that feelings, whether joyful or heavy, serve as a Divine Navigation System that reveals alignment with your soul. By embracing emotions rather than resisting them, you open space for clarity, relief, and a more authentic experience of love during a season that often magnifies every feeling.

Healing may seem to be nothing more than a means of getting rid of pain and restoring physical health. But as important as physical healing is, you can’t be fully healed if you ignore inner wounds. When left unhealed, inner suffering silently affects every aspect of your life.

Whether you enter this holiday season with wonderful traditions to celebrate, or with a heart heavy from loss, you can find love when you look for it in the here and now. If you are celebrating a season of tradition, it is useful to ask yourself if those traditions still bring you joy today. If so, embrace them wholeheartedly.

Mid-life and beyond is a mixed bag. On one hand, you’re past the hectic childrearing years, you’ve (hopefully) reached some level of financial stability, and you (finally) know a thing or two about life. On the other, you’re slowing down a little. You have less energy and more aches and pains. You might be doing the hard work of raising teens while also caring for aging parents.
