Welcome to Empowered Within a Soul Clenching transformational podcast that will set your soul on fire through candid and inspiring conversations. Leading experts, celebrities, healers, and I share our journeys of how we've overcome challenges to living an empowered life from within. I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates. Welcome to another episode of Empowered Within. Welcome back to another episode of Empowered Within. I'm your host, Jennifer, and today we're talking about a very real turning point in the energy of this year, the 1212 gateway that leads up to the solstice on 1221 and how all of this is setting the tone for your new year. So if you've been feeling like something is shifting, but you can't quite name it, this episode is for you. 1212 is often described as a portal or gateway of light. What that really means in simple, grounded terms is this, your inner world and your outer life are trying to line up 12. 12 acts like a reset point, a moment when the universe holds up a mirror and asks. Are your thoughts matching the life that you say you want? Are your choices aligned with the person you are becoming? Are you willing to stop repeating old cycles even if they feel familiar? This isn't about perfection or being high vibe all the time. It's about clarity. Around 12. 12, we tend to feel a stronger pull toward what feels true and non-negotiables. For us, there's no more settling, less tolerance for drama, confusion or misalignment. A quiet but firm knowing that certain patterns, habits, and or relationships, well, they've run their course. You might notice that conversations, signs or opportunities show up at just the right time, right on time for you, almost as if life is giving you a nudge and saying, are you ready to do things differently now? That's the 1212 energy at work. It speeds up the return of your thoughts and intentions. What you focus on gets louder and it moves quicker. That's why this time of year can feel so intense. It's not random. It's actual energetic feedback. Let's talk about how this energy might be showing up in your life. You may be noticing. Emotional waves, tears, frustration, nostalgia, sudden hopefulness or feeling just done with certain people, things or places in your life. Old patterns, resurfacing, relationship dynamics, fears or habits that you thought you had outgrew are coming back into your awareness. Sudden clarity, realizing. Oh my goodness. That's why that had to happen. Or now I see the pattern that I've been repeating and I always say, when you know better, then it's time to do better. Shifting in priorities, wanting more simplicity, peace and truth, less noise, less pretending less. Pushing yourself against your own intuition and learning how to lean in and actually flow with it. The 1212 energy is like a decoding process. It loosens old emotional tension and helps you actually see what was driving your decisions. Your reactions and your patterns. You might catch yourself saying things like, I can't keep living like this. Or Perhaps I'm ready for something more aligned, or maybe even I finally understand what this has been trying to teach me those realizations are so powerful, even if nothing on the outside has changed yet, that inner shift is what shapes your next chapter. The 1212 energetic pattern. Brings us to a choice point. Will you repeat what you know or will you step into who you are becoming? This doesn't mean you have to burn down your life, burn down your social media, or make dramatic moves overnight. Actually, it's quite the opposite. It may and most often may be as simple and as powerful as saying no, where you always said yes, honoring your energy instead of overriding it at admitting that you're ready for more support, deeper rest. And truer connections, choosing to move toward a dream that you've kept on the shelf for later that time. Next time, this gateway acts like a reversal code, meaning situations that felt stuck or unchangeable can finally begin to move. Energy that was blocked can start to open back up. So you may notice opportunities you thought were gone suddenly reappearing progress in areas that have felt frozen for months. A softening in situations that used to feel hard, heavy, dense. It's not magic in the sense of bypassing reality. It's magic in the sense that when your inner world lines up with your thoughts, your body, your emotions, your outer reality has room to rearrange in response. This is you coming into alignment, body, mind, and spirit, empowered within one of my favorite aspects of this time is what I like to call a retrieval point. Old dreams, projects, or parts of you that you know they've been tucked away can start to rise back up. Maybe you used to have a vision for your work or relationships that you shut down because life got too heavy or too busy. You felt called to move to change careers, right? Create or serve in a new way? Well, but the timing just wasn't right. Before perhaps you lost confidence after a heartbreak or betrayal or even illness, or perhaps you just felt exhausted. This 1212 window and the weeks that follow can bring those things back into your awareness. Not to torment you by any means, but to say, Hey. You are ready now. The timing is better. It's in more alignment with who you are today. You're not who you were when you gave this up. Your strengths start to gather back into this present moment. Little sparks return. Motivation, curiosity, creative ideas, courage. Your sleep can improve. Your body may ask for different things, and your intuition gets louder and clearer with more clarity than ever. This is the universe saying, I know what you've been through. I also know what you're capable of creating. From here on out, I had like to share with you a grounded practice for this 1212 gateway of energy, and it doesn't matter if you caught this on 1212, a few days after, the energy is still there for the coming weeks and is percolating. So you can do this whenever you have been called to this episode because that is the perfect time for you. Let's drop into something practical. That we can do between now leading in to the days up into the solstice. You can do this in a journal, in your notes app on your phone, or as a quiet reflection with your hand over your heart. Step one A truth. Check-in. Ask yourself this. Where am I pretending I'm okay? When I'm actually tired, I'm frustrated, or possibly I'm just done. Ask yourself, what have I outgrown that I'm still trying to hold together? Ask yourself, what am I ready to admit to myself even if I don't say it out loud yet? No judgment. Just pure honesty. Step two, a retrieval energetic check-in after you've taken the time to journal or to sit with yourself in meditation. Then I want you to ask yourself what dream idea or version of me is trying to come back? What keeps tugging at my heart, even when I try to ignore it? If I gave myself permission to begin again, what would I move toward first? Write down whatever comes up, even if it feels too big or unrealistic. This isn't a contrast, this is clarity. This is aligning with your higher self. Step three, one, aligned action. What is one honest, aligned double action that you can take in the next 72 hours? It could be making a phone call, having a real conversation, clearing a drawer or space in your home, booking support for your healing. Saying No to something or perhaps someone that drains you. This is how you work with a portal of energy, not just by thinking about it, but by letting the energy translate into aligned action in your life. Now I wanna share how I personally am working with this 1212 energy and why I created something specifically for this window of energy. I'll be hosting our Reiki lunar distant healing session on December 16th at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard time. This session is designed to integrate the 1212 gateway energy to prepare and stabilize for the winter solstice and the holidays ahead to help your nervous system settle so your intuition can lead more clearly, so that you can feel grounded and safe within yourself. This session is designed to support releasing the energetic weight of this year so that you can step into the next one. Lighter and more aligned. Body, mind, and spirit. There is no zoom, no tech. No need to be on or interact. You simply sign up@jenniferpilates.com. Set a reminder in your calendar for December 16th at 7:00 PM on that evening, create a calm space if you can lie down, if not, sit comfortably. Rest in your bed, on the couch, whatever feels in alignment for you in that moment. Intend to receive the Reiki energy and the timing that's perfect for you and what feels best for you while you're resting. I'll be holding a powerful, energetic container for everyone that is registered around the world. Working with the 1212 Ascension gateway of light and the approaching solstice energies, everything that is aligning for your highest and best good. This session is for you if you're ready to stop carrying what is no longer yours. You're ready for support in letting go of old timelines, fears, and emotional residue. You're ready to walk into the new year with more clarity, more calm aligned, and a stronger connection to your own inner guidance. This is your time as we begin. I can't even believe that I'm saying this to end the 2025 year, which I know for so many of you, myself included. First, can we say, where has this time gone? But oh my goodness. What a year. It has been on so many levels. There have been so many peaks and so many valleys that we have all walked through. Some of them we've walked through together, and some of them we have held space for one another, and I'm so honored that over this past year that we've started these reiki, lunar distant healing events, all of you that have signed up, we've literally been sending healing around the world. The beautiful aspect of these healing sessions are that it's not just about you and me. It's about your energies, the energies of the energetic portal and the moon that we're working with at the same time. And it's about when I'm working with these energies, sending them to you. It's also blessing your surrounding house in the community. So when we talk about how impactful these sessions are and how we truly are sending light and love and healing around the world, I truly mean it. And it's been such a blessing that I was guided to start that this year. That was definitely one of the highs of this year, and I'm so blessed for all of you that. Have been pre-sign up and joining, so I do hope that this is our last one for the 2025 year that you'll attend our reiki distant lunar healing session.
