Last year, I quit alcohol for six months, and it felt like an instant light switch.

There was no long buildup.
No bargaining.
No “starting Monday.”

Sound baths have been a steady part of my life for the past couple of years.

They’re a practice I return to again and again—
not to escape, but to listen.
To slow down enough to tune into my body, quiet my mind, and allow whatever wants to surface to do so.

As the year turns, a familiar story often rises: New resolutions. Big declarations. Fresh starts.

That’s not how change has come for me.

As the year draws to a close on this December 24, 2025,

preparing for 2026, I’m reminded of the quiet power in making space.

Not just physically— but energetically.

There’s a point in the journey where the crisis fades,

and people expect the story to resolve.

Life doesn’t work that way.
