5 Ways “The Holidays” are the Best Time to Quantum Leap

“The Holidays” are a Time Loop Created by Retailers, but we can Use It To Quantum Leap

Time is the keeper of our reality, and when time begins to get collectively more loopy, bendy, and obscure- we have the opportunity to bend our reality to our actual wishes. One things that helps us drastically change our reality and the perception of it is the fluidity of time. Trains, planes, automobiles, and mobile media has presented a uniquely specific time frame for us to all play, create, and manifest in. One of the reasons we’ve rapidly accelerated the cracked the egg of consciousness is because “We Broke Time”, during the multiple lockdowns, grief, and uncertainty we faced in 2020 and beyond.

There is another example that isn’t as insidious, and penetrates the veil of how we experience things during the liminal space of December and “The Holidays”. The buffet of traditions that dictate what we hear in the grocery store, the expectations of who we are supposed to have dinner with, and where we travel to.

I came upon the discover that I am, in fact, stuck in a December pattern. December has always been a bit tricky for me, and one December I even considered booking an 11 day Vipasana retreat during “The Holidays” , because I would rather sit in silence and meditation than be approached by the absurdity and decadence of "The Holidays”

5 Reason Why “The Holidays” are Best to Quantum Leap

Schedules are Disrupted

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: they say if you are in a train station or airport in a dream, you are in a liminal space.

When time gets personally wonky, that’s when the fun begins. Think: phone dying (unable to know what time it is), going on vacation (has it been a week or 3 months), sleepovers at someones house (waking up and not knowing where you are).

During the end of November until the beginning of January, we have a huge chunk of time where we loose a lot of daylight rapidly, schedules change of when people are working and not working, travel induces commonplace time changes, and the last 2 week of December are said to be a liminal space where the first week goes lightning fast, and the last week amazingly slow

The first 3 weeks of December are manic as we all rush around planning, planning, planning and then the main event happens, and we come down from our Christmas cookie high, and melt into New Years Resolutions. We end up in the time loop salad, and we all collectively agree on the time loop salad, making the time loop salad easy to bend and manipulate for your quantum leap.

Personally, I find December one of my most productive and inspired months to do things that really light me up. The absence of client work, and the collective rest of most people really lights a fire up my as to get going and make things that excite me.

Nostalgic Songs as Anchors

The Siren herself causing us to shift realities with a ballad that defies time

The power of music is one that cannot be stressed enough as being such a structural and subconscious shifter of what we perceive and how we move through the day. With Christmas music penetrating everything, it brings an air of familiarity- whether it illicites excitement or annoyance, it will alway illicit nostalgia.

It is the one only circumstance where we hear are certain set of music during a certain time of year. And we only hear it this time of the year. Maybe Christmas music is a marketing tactic, but hearing nostalgic things helps us spend more money in the name of “Christmas Cheer”. However, what if you flipped it on it head, and when you head Christmas music it triggered you to make radical changes, shortcuts, abundant manifestations, and inspiration to take a chance on yourself. Use the familiar songs as anchor points throughout the month, to really jump and embed the new self you are creating.

I’ve really worked throughout the years to get over the stress of “The Holidays”, and in doing that, I really have created a potent December where I can quantum leap easily and things just ebb and flow gracefully for me in December. One of the most ancient and powerful modalities of power is singing in a group of people. If you hear a carol that you enjoy, go ahead and sing it out loud as you sing yourself into a new reality that makes you buzz with electricity.

Manifestation Santa

Santa Clause, or Scott Calvin, manages his new Santa duties of making all your dreams come true

The entire premise of Santa Claus is based on Quantum Leaping. He is able to be “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” to visit all the children at once. Kids believe in the power of Santa breaking the space- time continuum to deliver individually crafted gifts that were delivered in accordance to a specific “wish list” from each child. When you take a step back, have we all been vision boarding for Santa? Are we writing down our wishes and desires for Santa? Maybe this is a cute way to thing about this. Pray to g-d or the universe of Santa. It really doesn't matter, it is all the same thing and they cannot tell the difference between the both of them. Whatever diety helps you break the time-space continuum- bring it!

The time travel continues to radiate throughout Christmas movies. From the past, present, and future angels of The Christmas Carol, or the quantum leaping classic It’s A Wonderful Life where an angel comes down and shows our protagonist what life would look like if he never existed.

With everyone on board with the time bending trope of Christmas and magic, lets utilize it to make something grand. Write your silly little list to be granted by Santa. The air is ripe with belief, magic, and absurdity- so go ahead and take some for yourself you sweet, sweet grownup.

Unavoidable Shadow Work

the ghosts of Christmas future are coming for us all

One of the bummers of the nostalgia and traditions of “The Holidays” is we are confronted with past versions of ourselves. Whether it is from confronting families, the nostalgic whimsy of a simpler time, or a heartache of loss that stings even deeper because that person just isn’t there to celebrate with you anymore- shadow work is coming for everyone that is no longer a child during “The Holidays”.

The traditional birth of Jesus Christ is just so much shadow work lumped into something. Mary Magdalene was so dejected, destitute, and homeless she had to give birth in a barn. Without any family, in a strange land with her measly husband (that she didn’t even get fucked by??) The founding story of Christmas is destitute, and said destitution can ripple throughout “The Holidays”. The pressure of consumerism and acceptance radiates throughout “The Holidays” and can give such a huge amount of stress during something that is supposed to be happy.

However, I always think that shadow work is a good thing. Especially on a collective level. If we are all at least acknowledging pressure, grief, and stress- we can ultimately choose what feels good for us. If everyone is mumbo jumbo and sorting themselves out, you can sort out your mumbo jumbo- and everything feels a bit more cinematic with the swirls, and you can choose to make more cinematic bold choices as you quantum leap.

New Years

that one time we thought all of the computers would stop working because the 1 would be replaces by a 2

Get your sparkles and sparkle hats ready, because we have arrived at The New Year. This one is probably the most obvious. We plan, we celebrate, we get new calendars, and a number will change on the date for the entire year as we allow ourselves to write and then quickly scribbly out “2019” on dated documents.

This represents one of the most hopeful times of “The Holidays”. The dawn of the New Year is a lot like birthday’s. Some like to have a huge celebration and go all out, and others prefer a low-key reflective time to usher in a new sect of time.

For this one, you know what to do. You’ve been doing it consciously or consciously for the past… however long you’ve been alive. Take a look back on your past New Years Eve’s and New Years, and what felt good. What went well? What was a flop? How did you set goals? Did it work? How do you measure success?

Use the collective energy of transformation and reinvention. Trust yourself to lean on it and let it carry you into The New Year with ease and grace.

Holiday Time Warp

yeah, they made a wormhole in a computer last week

This is such a unique and exciting time, that we have so much “magic” swirling in the air. The big box retailers understand that they have created a liminal space, and use it to convince the masses to buy more from shiny object sales and hypnotic Christmas music. Take autonomy of the temporary time warp, and create use this time to be intentional, radical, and exciting. Quantum leap into the new you, manifest some shit like your a kid asking Santa, and have a Ho Ho Happy Holiday.

One Quantum Leap at a Time

Well looks like you found yourself in the quantum leap article. There is a lot to unpack here, and a lot to still uncover and discover. Whether you are interested in quantum leaping, abruptly quantum leaped, or a seasoned quantum leaper, perhaps this can lead you to something (or somewhere) you haven’t been before. This is by no means a complete, tell all. I want to offer support in any way I can, by talking about my experience and what I’ve learned about this process thus far through reading, courses, and experiencing quantum leaps.

What is a quantum leap?

It’s sci-fi. It’s literally time travel. The idea is that in the quantum real, there are infinite timelines, infinite possibilities and you are jumping to the timeline that is closest to you with least resistance. When you quantum leap, you are positioning yourself in said new timeline. It’s changing who you are as a person so violently and quickly, that sometimes it can destabilize your physical, . You need to prepare to loose everything and gain everything when you quantum leap. In order to make change, you must change your life. This is not something I recommend for everyone. When your vibrational pattern shifts into something else, sometimes it can be difficult or impossible to maintain existing relationships, old habits, and continue to live your old life. You are a new person. These habits that you once fought to change, just don't make sense anymore. Your morning daily breakfast of fruit and yogurt tastes too sweet and you now long for a savory breakfast. Are you prepared to make these changes? Are you willing to sacrifice your old self? I wish there was a more gentle way to rapidly change timelines, but often times, it is a violent death of your old self.

My Experience

A friend suggested a future self meditation that she found extremely helpful for her to learn more about herself, and uncover something that she didn’t know about her past, and there in her future. I tried out the meditation. I was immediately transported to myself 8 years in the future. She was a stunning image of Princess Diana wearing a trench coast, carrying a briefcase, and was a wealthy writer. I stayed in active meditation as I frantically wrote down everything she was telling me what I would need to know to get to where she was. I have never been the same since this day. A couple months later, my hair grew out from a buzzcut, and people started stopping me on the street and at parties to tell me I looked like Princess Diana. I then fully stepped into this new energy. I completely surrender to this new person, this new character I was playing. However, I still has grace with myself. During this time, I stopped being vegan, quit sugar for 6 months, moved across the country, and significantly changed my money story. I was able to change the way I smelled yesterday by simply writing “I want to smell like this” and then I smelled like that. There’s not a ton of rules here, just truly the power of belief, intention, and curiosity. Playfulness helps a lot too.

Before this meditation, I was doing a lot of things that were quickly changing my life. I was having extremely prophetic dreams, and being introduced to different divination techniques that just cleared the roadways for me to become a new person. The book “The Artists Way” played a huge part in this journey. When I went through the meditation, I was in the 12 week course, doing daily writings and artists dates. This cracked me open. The year of 2020 and 2021 has cracked me open. I think it has cracked a lot of the collective open. Things that were “impossible” now are becoming possible. Everyone has more uncertainty in the future and in the present, which in turn has facilitated time travel for the curious layman.

What is your why?

When you are making a drastic life decision, it is important to check in to why you are doing something. This justification doesn't need to sound right, but it needs to feel right. For example, my why is because I want to explore my human potential. I feel called to dig deep, and my martyr convictions of self sacrifice and exploration are dying to be unearthed. Your why could be something like getting into a new situation, you want to change your money story, change the relationships around you, change the perceptions and simplify the life that you live, change your focus. . The list goes on and on, but you will need to just want to, and want to enough to sacrifice your own self for the timeline of you that is living your far fetched dream life.

Modalities:

There are a ton of ways to timeline jump, quantum leap. They can be huge shifts, or something small. Some modalities include: dreams, meditations, future casting, dancing, literally just pouring water from one cup to another, reading a book. Any moment that shifts the way you feel, into something that seems subtly or drastically different. It can also accidentally happen. We experience quantum leaps all the time in something as small as forgetting what day it is, or wearing a different outfit and noticing a different energy to you. You get to choose how big you want it to affect you, and how much you commit to living like this new person. Sometimes, things like grief and great loss can act as huge catalysts to restructuring how you exist day to day. The person you were before the loss, simply does not exist anymore. The more you have a hold of who you want to become, you can construct this new blueprint for your life.

Aftercare

This link is always missing in our DIY spiritual transformations. We get the transformation done, et voila, we are a new person. But then what? I suggest having someone that can support you, and has experience in this type of thing. Be it a friend, spiritual mentor, therapist, etc. This is something that there can be super clear action steps to. I’d recommend digging into some Kundalini practice, as this is one of the only disciplines that works with instant, transformations. There can be a Kundalini Yoga class in your town, and that can be a good place to connect with people that can help and ease in your sudden transformation. A couple techniques I’ve picked up is to keep the energy circling if you feel like that energy impact needs distributed throughout you body. Take in the energy from the top of your head and then spread it around through your body: down your torso, down and up each legs, back through the torso, through each arm, and then cycle the energy out through the top of your head. . I find sometimes when I seek to get “grounded” after an extremely astral experience, I’ll cling to my phone to ground. Not the best tactic, and its my achilles heel. Acknowledge any “desperation groundings” and ask your future self you get over this. Doing something tactile with your hands can be very grounding: cooking, walking, dancing, reading, spending time with people you love, lighting a candle, stretching, taking a bath. Things that are low stress yet still excite you.. Keep it simple.

Meditations:

Here are some places to get started:

future blueprint

This is the meditation I created to let your past child lead you to your future self. When I discovered this modality, I felt convicted to share and have been elated to see peoples response to this work and this particular meditation. We incorporate some simple kundalini breath work to stimulate and keep you active in the meditation, and some grounding breath work to bring you present to your body.

The one that started it all. This is 1hr and a hell of a ride. I found I didn’t need the whole hour to meet myself in the future, and actively wrote the entire time. You do you here, but this one can definitely be more sleepy, so this could be something better to do when you are actively awake, and not before you go to sleep.

Advice:

Don’t play with fire if you don’t want to get burned or burn it all down. You won’t necessarily need to burn it all down, perhaps you will just need some small tweaks, but if you want to be a radically different person then you have to make radically different changes that may ask you to burn it all down. When you are co creating with your higher self, with your future self, with g-d— you are surrendering control. You need to prepare to loose everything and gain everything when you quantum leap. In order to make change, you must change your life. This is not something I recommend for everyone. You will not get to control, and the things and the new things about your body, emotions, and habits. Your new future timeline to you will be something beyond you could have imagined, and this is exactly the point. You are delving in the quantum as you do not want to You are literally going to be letting someone else drive the car. That is alright with me, because I am tired of driving.
