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.
