What the Winter Solstice is Trying to Tell You
Sensitive bodies feel the Winter Solstice more intensely than almost any other cosmic shift — but most people override it without even realizing it.
In this episode, we explore what happens inside highly attuned, intuitive nervous systems during the longest night of the year — and why your body reacts so strongly to this turning point in the light cycle.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why the Solstice is the most universal celebration in human history
✨ What ancient cultures understood about darkness that modern life ignores
✨ The real science behind seasonal shifts — and where science still falls short
✨ The four physiological changes your sensitive system goes through every December
✨ A simple but powerful Sensitive Body Solstice Reset to align with the return of the light
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, intuitive, emotional, or “different” this week of the year… you’re not imagining it.
Your body is attuned.
This episode will show you how to work with the dark instead of pushing past it.
In this Episode:
00:00 Understanding the Winter Solstice and Sensitivity
05:15 The science behind the Solstice
08:15 The Science and Spirituality of Darkness
09:00 Somatic Ritual for the Solstice
