"The Holiday season is about allowance. It's about grace, about ease. So why create conflict? It is not a natural state; harmony is so much better. Harmony is so much more enjoyable. It's this place of being rather than acting or pushing or forcing. Give the gift of being to everyone, be in flow and allowance, and let people give what they can."

Today's episode is also one of those in which it is just you and me around the virtual campfire. This time, we talk about how stressful the holidays can be and practical ways to redefine our expectations, find peace, set boundaries, and turn them into the enjoyable moments they are supposed to be. 

Throughout this episode, you'll hear my thoughts on why the holidays are so stressful for most people, how to free ourselves from the idea of perfection surrounding Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations, and what changes we can promote to make the holidays a synonym of joy, not stress. You'll also hear about the importance of being understanding of others' financial and emotional limitations during the holidays, finding time and space to express gratitude, and more.

Tune in to episode 15 of Rekindling Ancient Wisdom, and give yourself and others the present of being and allowing instead of doing and demanding during the holiday season.
