We are all lightning rods, conduits for that which the Universe wants born into this world. What energies did you channel this year?
This year — as well as last — I had to channel a lot of strength. I don’t know where it all came from, but I somehow managed to channel strength even when I felt so worn out and ready to give up. I had to channel so much patience and kindness, even when I didn’t want to extend either to my opposing parties. I felt indignation, and yet I managed to maintain myself and glue my family back together. It’s just so difficult to write about channeling energy at this point of the year because I’ve exhausted my strength and energy. When I sat down with this prompt, I had to get back up to brew a cup of coffee. As the year has drawn to a close, I have felt a great urge to hibernate. Shut down for winter, sleep, and hide inside. I’ve been battling so hard for so long, and I feel weary. I feel the need to recharge and recover. I think as 2014 comes to a close, I’m going to release the need to channel strength and vibrance in favor of loving where I am right now and resting with certainty that I’ll emerge from my mock-hibernation happier and healthier in 2015.
Wishing you a restorative hibernation and time of exquisite self-care that allows you to feel revitalized and nourished and filled with joy.
You can give up the fight now, my friend. It’s time to recharge and restore… and ease into 2015 with grace and the quiet determination we know and love you for. x

Yes! There’s a reason we do Savasana at the end of a tough yoga sequence. The body (and the mind) need time to rest and absorb the fruits of all that labor. You have more than earned it.
