Thank you @ajmanik.bsky.social and to all for this hour of joy and meaning. Happy Holidays. #Spiritchat

A7. I recently told my husband that all the best things in my life started with him. Our family is the top of my blessings. Next, dear friends, Finally, Mother Earth who is a source of rejuvenation. #Spiritchat

A6. I have been blessed to have been surrounded by energy healers that I call my friends and family. It has solidified my inner knowing that everything is energy. Quietude, openheartedness, yoga, meditation, and reflection that purify energy have all worked together to create magic. #Spiritchat

A5. My spirtual journey and the amazing connection/exposure to deeply spiritual people who have enriched my path. Grateful. #Spiritchat

A4. The "gift" doesn't have to be expensive or even material, just thoughtful. It will speak directly to me with love. When my older two grandchildren write a message on a card, it makes my heart glow. #Spiritchat

A3. Instead of purchasing random stuff, I ask people what they need. It definitely simplifies the process. #Spiritchat

Love this!! #Spiritchat

A wonderful strategy all year long. #Spiritchat

A2. I haven't figured it out yet. I do love group activities with loved ones that create priceless memories. #Spiritchat

A1. I look around me and feel grateful for my greatest gifts - family and good friends. The material stuff is fading away, the older I get. #Spiritchat

Hello #Spiritchat Glad to be here to talk about our true gifts of the season.

See you soon. #Spiritchat

I wish everyone a wonderful week ahead. Thanks @ajmanik.bsky.social for your loving care of this space so we can all share. #Spiritchat

We often forget the ‘spirit of the tradition’, don’t we? And yet, if we remember to keep lightness in the heart, we can remember... #remembrance #Spiritchat

A8. I am grateful for dear friends who remind me that expectations are not the best foundation for carrying on traditions. #Spiritchat

Choosing love and expressing gratitude are two practices that are always available to us. They are healing and uplifting! 💞🙏🏽 A6 #SpiritChat

A7. It's all about attitude. Being in gratitude sets the stage for joy. #Spiritchat

A6. IMHO, the healing energy comes from connecting with people, repetitive actions that stir memories of love & laughter, and the joy found in giving. I would encourage people to start traditions that combine aspects: connection, sharing love and laughter, and giving with joy. #Spiritchat

A5 My morning and bedtime gratitude ritual. It’s gets the day started in a positive way and helps me prepare for sleep. #Spiritchat

A5. Prayer (meditation/quiet reflection) and joyful music are cornerstones of daily life, each anchored in tradition. #Spiritchat

A4. A new tradition - my husband and I go to my son's house on Christmas morning in our pjs to watch the grandchildren open gifts, and then we enjoy the Gumbo our DIL makes for lunch. It's a wonderful counter to a busy Christmas Eve. #Spiritchat

Sitting n the egg chair, watching light snow fall, a stillness seems to come over the world... a tradition of peace... 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat A1

A3. So many wonderful memories of the Italian food my mother made during the holidays and the traditional Christmas songs. I still joyfully make my mother's holiday cookies and several dishes. From Thanksgiving to New Year's, Christmas music dominates the airwaves and warms my heart. #Spiritchat

The message to reexamine priorities--the traditions to continue and those it is time to release! A2 #SpiritChat

A2. When we start to feel burdened by holiday tradition, the message is either "Time to let go" or "Time to get someone else to take the lead." #Spiritchat

A1. I feel both the warmth and sentiment of long-held holiday traditions and the joy and freedom of new traditions. #Spiritchat

Hello #Spirtchat❤️ So happy to be with you today. This past month has been busy, busy.

Starting in less than 15 minutes! #Spiritchat

So glad I could pop in to today's #Spiritchat. Thank you @ajmanik.bsky.social for the topic. Wishing everyone a week filled with beautiful harmony.

A9. To share our heart's music, we just have to LOVE. I am guessing @sharonkdagostino.bsky.social said the same❤️ #Spiritchat

Yes🙏 #Spiritchat

A7 Musical harmony, silence, and spiritual practice -Have you ever listened to a great musical artist talk about how the music came to them? They all say it's like a download from the ethers. Magical and spiritual. It is communication at the highest level. #Spiritchat

A4. Growing up in an Italian American family, Sinatra was a fav. When our kids were little and we were in the car on Saturday evenings, we listened to "Strictly Sinatra". Our kids grew to love the music too. Passing down the love of Sinatra's music has become a special family bond. #Spiritchat

This. Nature's music. A3 #Spiritchat

Music and Spirituality - two of my favorite things. Hello all, I brought treats. #spiritchat

Thank you #Spiritchat community for your wisdom and insights. Special thanks to @ajmanik.bsky.social for your thoughtful questions. Have a great week. Namaste.

A9. I will continue to embrace the Dalai Lama's declaration, "My religion is Kindness." #Spiritchat

A8. We can create the community power of love, acceptance, and kindness for all when we embrace our provider, protector, and creative powers in a balanced way. Balance being the key. #Spiritchat

A7: #spiritchat the responsibility to care for those in need. The responsibility to carry the hope of a better world for our children & grandchildren. To show kindness & compassion but tough love when necessary. It is present in everyone but we don’t always listen to it.

That child will always remember that someone, just the One, stayed in their corner... @vegypower.bsky.social ~ I have often been that child, and I remember. 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat

Well said, @samanthahall.bsky.social #Spiritchat

A6. Creative energy is always at work in my life. It brings new ideas, ways of doing things, and the courage to try something new. #Spiritchat

If you have ever read or seen the stories about Mom’s literally lifting up cars to rescue their child, you know about the potential of ‘feminine power as protecter’ ☺️ 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat A5

A5. Yes, indeed. Fierce with an undercurrent of great love. #Spiritchat

A4. Wealth for the Soul: peace, authenticity, awareness, kindness, love, connection❤️ #Spiritchat

A3) This is a sign that we need to recharge by returning to stillness/silence, reconnecting to our bodies, seeking nourishment instead of output...a time to receive instead of give... #spiritchat

A3. When it seems like the "power goes out," we rest and center into our hearts and know that our innate power is always there. True for all. #Spiritchat

This. #Spiritchat

A2. It is unique because the feminine power in all of us is balanced. It is not about soft or hard. It is both. Compassion and Protective. The concept of "yes, and..." #spiritchat

A1) The feminine spirit has been awakening and is needed more than ever. Compassion. Strength. Community. #SpiritChat
