Hello again, dear Hivers! Here we are, the Solstice is behind us and the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius is in full swing. We're en route straight to Christmas Day and the New Year. Can you feel the huge energy expansion taking place right now? How are you using it? I for one took the opportunity offered by this Conjunction to begin manifesting what I want to see in my personal and collective reality, for my country and the world. Anyone who has engaged in conscious manifestation can attest to its power and also the effort involved, so I woke up today feeling a bit out of sorts, nothing big, but palpable.
I didn't need to go far with the curation, most of the posts I picked today come from our very own community, and they're all not only quite useful as always, but singularly well-presented and written, even for our authors' usual standards. While the topics below may seem varied, they all have one essential principle: harnessing our personal power to improve wellness not only for ourselves, but for the entire world.
Since this December 21st was possibly the most important date of this year from an energy standpoint, it's appropriate to open this curation with a couple of posts focusing on it. First, we have this post by

Much has been written and said about how challenging this year has been for all of us, regardless of location, age or gender. But right now, I think it's important to focus less on the troubles we've faced and more on the teachings we've had. In this lovely post, 
Pandemic Lessons - Gifts straight from the heart
What constitutes a healing practice? In my view, most activities can be used for healing as long as they're done from the heart, with proper respect and responsibility. Some people like to engage in active healing through decrees and specific actions, but others prefer a more passive approach. In this contribution filled with beautiful images,

Emotional exploration isn't easy, and it can be terribly frightening if we're not ready to compromise and truly dismantle our patterns, most of which aren't even our own, but rather remnants of our family's history and ancestry. 
Fear - Fuel or Anchor? You choose!
Do you practice any kind of martial art? Are you interested in combat as a way of exercise? Well, 
Is Karate a spiritual path?
Christmas usually brings huge celebrations packed with delicious food and drink, with the obvious consequence of less than ideal sleep cycles and physical training. On the subject of fitness, here we have this amazing routine by 
Twelve days of Core-mas!
I've never been in a truly cold place. The closest I've come to freezing temperatures has been 10°C, so I have no idea what it is to go for a swim in a frozen lake, but evidently,
