Welcome to Empowered Within aSoul Clenching transformational
podcast that will set your soulon fire through candid and
inspiring conversations.
Leading experts, celebrities,healers, and I share our
journeys of how we've overcomechallenges to living an
empowered life from within.
I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates.
Welcome to another episode ofEmpowered Within.
(01:44):
Welcome back to another episodeof Empowered Within.
I'm your host, Jennifer, andtoday we're talking about a very
real turning point in the energyof this year, the 1212 gateway
that leads up to the solstice on1221 and how all of this is
setting the tone for your newyear.
So if you've been feeling likesomething is shifting, but you
(02:05):
can't quite name it, thisepisode is for you.
1212 is often described as aportal or gateway of light.
What that really means insimple, grounded terms is this,
your inner world and your outerlife are trying to line up 12.
(02:26):
12 acts like a reset point, amoment when the universe holds
up a mirror and asks.
Are your thoughts matching thelife that you say you want?
Are your choices aligned withthe person you are becoming?
Are you willing to stoprepeating old cycles even if
they feel familiar?
This isn't about perfection orbeing high vibe all the time.
(02:51):
It's about clarity.
Around 12.
12, we tend to feel a strongerpull toward what feels true and
non-negotiables.
For us, there's no moresettling, less tolerance for
drama, confusion ormisalignment.
A quiet but firm knowing thatcertain patterns, habits, and or
(03:13):
relationships, well, they've runtheir course.
You might notice thatconversations, signs or
opportunities show up at justthe right time, right on time
for you, almost as if life isgiving you a nudge and saying,
are you ready to do thingsdifferently now?
That's the 1212 energy at work.
(03:33):
It speeds up the return of yourthoughts and intentions.
What you focus on gets louderand it moves quicker.
That's why this time of year canfeel so intense.
It's not random.
It's actual energetic feedback.
Let's talk about how this energymight be showing up in your
(03:55):
life.
You may be noticing.
Emotional waves, tears,frustration, nostalgia, sudden
hopefulness or feeling just donewith certain people, things or
places in your life.
Old patterns, resurfacing,relationship dynamics, fears or
habits that you thought you hadoutgrew are coming back into
(04:15):
your awareness.
Sudden clarity, realizing.
Oh my goodness.
That's why that had to happen.
Or now I see the pattern thatI've been repeating and I always
say, when you know better, thenit's time to do better.
Shifting in priorities, wantingmore simplicity, peace and
(04:38):
truth, less noise, lesspretending less.
Pushing yourself against yourown intuition and learning how
to lean in and actually flowwith it.
The 1212 energy is like adecoding process.
It loosens old emotional tensionand helps you actually see what
was driving your decisions.
(05:00):
Your reactions and yourpatterns.
You might catch yourself sayingthings like, I can't keep living
like this.
Or Perhaps I'm ready forsomething more aligned, or maybe
even I finally understand whatthis has been trying to teach me
those realizations are sopowerful, even if nothing on the
outside has changed yet, thatinner shift is what shapes your
(05:25):
next chapter.
The 1212 energetic pattern.
Brings us to a choice point.
Will you repeat what you know orwill you step into who you are
becoming?
This doesn't mean you have toburn down your life, burn down
(05:45):
your social media, or makedramatic moves overnight.
Actually, it's quite theopposite.
It may and most often may be assimple and as powerful as saying
no, where you always said yes,honoring your energy instead of
overriding it at admitting thatyou're ready for more support,
(06:10):
deeper rest.
And truer connections, choosingto move toward a dream that
you've kept on the shelf forlater that time.
Next time, this gateway actslike a reversal code, meaning
situations that felt stuck orunchangeable can finally begin
(06:30):
to move.
Energy that was blocked canstart to open back up.
So you may notice opportunitiesyou thought were gone suddenly
reappearing progress in areasthat have felt frozen for
months.
A softening in situations thatused to feel hard, heavy, dense.
It's not magic in the sense ofbypassing reality.
(06:53):
It's magic in the sense thatwhen your inner world lines up
with your thoughts, your body,your emotions, your outer
reality has room to rearrange inresponse.
This is you coming intoalignment, body, mind, and
spirit, empowered within one ofmy favorite aspects of this time
(07:20):
is what I like to call aretrieval point.
Old dreams, projects, or partsof you that you know they've
been tucked away can start torise back up.
Maybe you used to have a visionfor your work or relationships
that you shut down because lifegot too heavy or too busy.
You felt called to move tochange careers, right?
(07:41):
Create or serve in a new way?
Well, but the timing just wasn'tright.
Before perhaps you lostconfidence after a heartbreak or
betrayal or even illness, orperhaps you just felt exhausted.
This 1212 window and the weeksthat follow can bring those
things back into your awareness.
(08:02):
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 whoyou are today.
You're not who you were when yougave this up.
Your strengths start to gatherback into this present moment.
Little sparks return.
Motivation, curiosity, creativeideas, courage.
(08:25):
Your sleep can improve.
Your body may ask for differentthings, and your intuition gets
louder and clearer with moreclarity than ever.
This is the universe saying, Iknow what you've been through.
I also know what you're capableof creating.
From here on out, I had like toshare with you a grounded
(08:48):
practice for this 1212 gatewayof energy, and it doesn't matter
if you caught this on 1212, afew days after, the energy is
still there for the coming weeksand is percolating.
So you can do this whenever youhave been called to this episode
because that is the perfect timefor you.
Let's drop into somethingpractical.
(09:09):
That we can do between nowleading in to the days up into
the solstice.
You can do this in a journal, inyour notes app on your phone, or
as a quiet reflection with yourhand 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'mfrustrated, or possibly I'm just
(09:34):
done.
Ask yourself, what have Ioutgrown that I'm still trying
to hold together?
Ask yourself, what am I ready toadmit to myself even if I don't
say it out loud yet?
No judgment.
Just pure honesty.
(09:56):
Step two, a retrieval energeticcheck-in after you've taken the
time to journal or to sit withyourself in meditation.
Then I want you to ask yourselfwhat dream idea or version of me
is trying to come back?
What keeps tugging at my heart,even when I try to ignore it?
(10:19):
If I gave myself permission tobegin 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 isclarity.
This is aligning with yourhigher self.
Step three, one, aligned action.
(10:42):
What is one honest, aligneddouble 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 inyour home, booking support for
your healing.
Saying No to something orperhaps someone that drains you.
(11:07):
This is how you work with aportal of energy, not just by
thinking about it, but byletting the energy translate
into aligned action in yourlife.
Now I wanna share how Ipersonally am working with this
(11:28):
1212 energy and why I createdsomething specifically for this
window of energy.
I'll be hosting our Reiki lunardistant healing session on
December 16th at 7:00 PM EasternStandard time.

energy to prepare and stabilizefor the winter solstice and the

This session is designed tosupport releasing the energetic
weight of this year so that youcan step into the next one.

year, which I know for so manyof you, myself included.
(13:42):
First, can we say, where hasthis time gone?
But oh my goodness.
What a year.
It has been on so many levels.
There have been so many peaksand so many valleys that we have
all walked through.
Some of them we've walkedthrough together, and some of
them we have held space for oneanother, and I'm so honored that
over this past year that we'vestarted these reiki, lunar

distant healing events, all ofyou that have signed up, we've
literally been sending healingaround the world.
The beautiful aspect of thesehealing sessions are that it's
not just about you and me.
It's about your energies, theenergies of the energetic portal
and the moon that we're workingwith at the same time.
And it's about when I'm workingwith these energies, sending
(14:28):
them to you.
It's also blessing yoursurrounding house in the
community.
So when we talk about howimpactful these sessions are and
how we truly are sending lightand love and healing around the
world, I truly mean it.
And it's been such a blessingthat I was guided to start that
this year.
(14:48):

blessed for all of you that.
