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.

The Real Tea of Manifestation

We are in a peculiar time in history. The technological advances around us are at a magnatude of wonderful, scary, fantastic, and frightening. We are to a point where envisioning 10 years into the future seems like an arduous and brave task. We see the technological development exceed to places we aren’t even sure we want. “Oh great, a metaverse,” or “Uber is investing in flying cars,” are some of the bizarre phrases that we have uttered in this new century. As the outer technology has taken on a new character role on our life. Our inner technology has also began to expedite and grow. The main modality, and the hot buzzword: manifestation.

As a millennial woman existing on the internet, I am constantly bombarded with things about manifestation. Headlines blare: “How to Manifest Your Future” and “8 Hacks to Help you Manifest Now”. I am no stranger to manifestation, and have discovered my own tips and tricks, that walk some lines that folks are a little uncomfortable with saying outloud, as you are already viewed as a blacksheep.

However, in my wild experience of manifesting things I have had to do a things that a lot of times these master manifestor-s or guru’s leave out because of the implication.

Surrender Control and Rationality

We are taught said to have some sort of control in life. We are supposed to have some sort of linear thinking. However, when we are manifesting- we are supposed to concentrate on the energy of experiencing a radical quantum leap. We’re supposed to act as if it always is. We go into a situation ready to accept any challenge that we might experience. When you release any pretext of things that may go wrongs, or inventing problems in your mind you open the cave of exploration, you stir the cauldron of manifestation. When we have little room for doubt, we only have room for self confidence and forcing ourself to be the person that things differently and moves differently in the world. One of my favorite examples of this is our bold, confident, and ruthless: Elle Woods.

Shop  Legally Blonde

Elle Woods

Cult classic and personal favorite, Legally Blonde, follows the heroes journey of Elle Woods as she applies and gets to Harvard Law School to reunite with an old love because “What, like its hard?” This is the energy of surrendering rationality. This program is one of the most prestigious in the world, and Elle had no doubt that she would get in and thrive. Not only did this usher in the era of power bimbos, but this blind confidence and focused energy is what allowed Elle to quantum leap into a lawyer who graduated valedictorian. She dressed the part, put her head down and began focusing on being the person she wanted to be: a lawyer.

Embracing Delusion

I see so many “master manifestor-s” dance around saying delusion because of the negative connotation and, quite frankly, potentially dangerous outcome. Manifesting is a delicate dance between the veil where we are playing with the time- space continuum, and sometimes, it can be quite difficult to remain grounded enough to see our thoughts become reality. The delusion aspect is that part that asks us to step into with the presence, confidence, and embodiment of the energy that we are manifesting. Delusion is also the fun part. Delusion is when you get to say “why not”, play dress up, and pretend like you are a little kid with pantie hose on your head for long hair. Delusion is Baby Spice. Delusion teases perception. Delusion is what allows artists to see something different and create a masterpiece through their tainted lens. One real life characters who has created his life to imitate his art its : Kanye West.

Shop My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

From West’s early days, he has always been known for his brash attitude, opulent style, arrogant attitude, and acting with the prestige of someone who was famous. When Kanye’s mom died, he wrote and produced the prolific album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy where he details his intentions of attaining ultimate fame, power, and fortune. He says “One day I’m going to marry a porn star,” and then he does. He goes on to talk about how he wants to have a powerful, plastic family. He has married into one of the most famous, powerful, and plastic families in existence.

He also talks about that in this pursuit of power and fame, he will loose his mind. He spins a dark tale, which is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy of suicidal ideation and spinning out of control. This begets the old question of “does life imitate art” or “does art imitate life”. It is surreal to see things come to fruition, that West foretold in earlier. The delusion is what propelled him into stardom he knew he was going to be famous and so it was. He then wove a powerful tale in one of the most critically acclaimed albums of our time.

Making Space

This is the integral part into maintaining your sanity and presence while you manifest an extreme energetic change in your life. This is the part where you release all of the parts that are keeping you tied to something that you are not interested in anymore. In the example of Elle Woods, she physically left the town she lived in, and left her friends and family. This created space for her to become the lawyer of her dreams as she didn’t have to confine herself to old perceptions of herself, and instead surrounded herself with hard working, focused people. In terms of Kanye West, he devoted himself to a new life after his mom died and he went full villain mode. He wrote an entire album about becoming a villain, and detailed the life he was now going to leave now that all sense of morality and responsibility had left this plane.

Making space in your life can be as drastic as you would like it. Listen to your intuition on that one. I invited you to find this balance of what you want to see in the world, and begin releasing. Once you start to make space, things will appear and pop up inviting you to make more space, shed more skin, and release more into the person you are making space to become.
