Self-Care tips for Winter 2025
by Judy Bernard EAMP, Senior Faculty
Hello beautiful Sound Sisters and Brothers,
We made it through 2025!
We rode wild waves of change, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It is time for us to celebrate this victory. We survived, we cried, we thrived, and yes, it is time to dance!
The energy of the world has been upgraded, and we have stepped into a higher vibrational field. Co-creation feels easier, new beliefs and thought patterns stick more naturally, and even our bodies are shifting because the Earth herself is being upgraded right alongside us. These vibrational changes will continue for a few more years, yet the more we pause to rejoice in the little things, the more peace we feel and the smoother the ride becomes.
Celebrating the small wins should become a daily habit. Notice the synchronicities, perfect-timing coincidences, and the moments of pure magic. That is the stuff we are made of. When we focus on it, we invite more of our true radiant selves into everyday life. A one-minute dance party tells your nervous system, “Hey, we are safe, you can relax now.” Turn it into a fun family ritual in the evenings and watch everyone melt into calm, peace and joy.
A Gentle Reflection Practice for the Season
Take a moment with the quiet depth of the Water Element of December to look back on 2025. What went beautifully? What felt fast and furious? For many of us the upgrades came in hot, leaving little time to integrate. Those intense shifts often stir up old emotions, body tension, or stuck energy from the past.
Here is a simple meditation process, using your Acutonics tools that helps bring everything into the present timeline. Feel free to adapt this to what calls to you.
Step 1: Find a cozy spot with your favorite beverage and crystals.
Step 2: Play a singing bowl, tuning forks, or chimes to settle your field. Follow your intuition on the planetary forks that feel right to you. Currently I am loving Sedna and Venus Unity/New Earth and pure self-love.
Step 3: Open the Chong Mai with the New Moon 5th forks. Bring the situation to mind. Notice what emotions surface and where you feel them in your body. Now place the New Moon 5th forks or a singing bowl on the activated spot, until the feeling shifts. Big or small, every shift counts.
Step 4: Still on Chong Mai, use the Full Moon 6th. Look for the hidden gift or light inside the situation. Bless it, receive it into your heart, then visualize the feelings from the situation dissolving from your body and field. I often see “hooks” and use Hygiea forks or a singing bowl to gently release them for good.
Step 5: Next open the Ren Mai with Sedna and Earth Day forks. Sedna forks support Unity and New Earth energy, while the Earth Day fork brings the upgraded situation and its gifts into daily life.
Step 6: Place Sedna and Earth Day forks on Kid 3, SP 6, and ST 36. Grounding these upgraded vibrations into your body.
Step 7: Close by placing a singing bowl on the belly, allowing the new purified vibration to integrate.
Wisdom Council Reminders as We Step into 2026 and Beyond
1. Simplicity is key. You have everything you need. Tired but too late for coffee? Try Earth Day 5th forks on SP 6 and feel your energy increase. Or use Mercury on a can of tuna to harmonize with any mercury in the fish, creating a healthier lunch. Use your forks to create the frequency you want in your daily life.
2. Listen to your guidance, even when it sounds odd. One client was traveling and I kept hearing, bring lots of snacks. We both thought it was strange because the airport and the city had plenty of stores. He listened and was glad he did. The city was hit with an unexpected hurricane, he was on the last flight in, and everything was closed for two days. Trust what you hear and act on it.
3. Co creation from our hearts is how we change the world. Let negative thoughts and stories show you what you do not want, then shift your focus to what you do want. A helpful question, I like to use is, “How is it that I have this?” This question allows your brain to begin looking for ways to make your vision real and opens the door to co creating a new reality.
4. Overwhelm or burnout? Your body is waving a red flag: “Too much new information and light, not enough integration time!” The waves of upgrades, light, and disruptions will continue, and your body, being the densest part of your being, is the slowest to integrate these new light vibrations. Be kind to yourself. Use your tuning forks on the digestion points to support integration, this is very helpful. Choose the forks that call to you, or if you are unsure, Ohm is always a great place to start. Use Ohm Unison on SP 4, SP 6, ST 36, the Four Doors of Digestion, and Ren 12. Be gentle, less is more in this case.
5. Feeling calm and peaceful is the best way to ride these waves of change. Rest, hydrate, and eat good food. Take a few breaths in nature, go for a walk, notice the synchronicities around you. Be inquisitive about what makes you feel calm and peaceful. Explore these ideas and activities, do them often. Be open to changing them when guided or they no longer resonate.
6. Remember, you are not alone. Everyone is experiencing these shifts and changes, even the animals, trees, and plants. Some see these changes only as things not going well, while others see the light within the darkness and use it to move toward more light. Community is key, both with your Wisdom Council of angels, guides, ancestors, elementals, and star beings, and with other humans on Earth. Find a couple of like-minded people to talk with. If no one comes to mind, ask your guides to connect you with someone and trust that it is happening.
7. Respond from your heart first. This takes time and compassion for yourself. Most of us have spent a lifetime learning to think things through with the mind. Coming from the heart takes practice. Taking a breath before responding to others can help. Wearing a necklace that rests at the level of your heart can serve as a reminder to activate the heart. Set your intention each morning to come from your heart by activating Ren 17. Carry your favorite two forks and use on Ren 17 when you know staying in your heart space might be difficult.
8. Find the humor and forgiveness in situations, in others, and in yourself. As humans we do funny things. We overreact to truths we are not ready to acknowledge. We make choices we know are not ideal, like eating pecan pie after being off sugar for months. We ignore our intuition or guides and later see exactly why we should have followed it. Laugh, forgive yourself, and move on. These moments often become enjoyable stories that bring laughter and acceptance when shared.
9. Be curious. Rather than judging yourself or others, get curious. Nothing is staying the same, and curiosity helps us stay in the flow instead of resisting it. I am noticing my relationship to the planets is shifting. Instead of saying, that is not what I learned, or that no longer feels good, I ask, “What is this planet telling me now?”, or “Which planet feels aligned with me now?” Curiosity keeps resistance low and adds a splash of play to every shift.
10. The ripple effect is real. Every inner healing you do sends waves of hope outward. As we shift and change ourselves, we send a ripple of success into the world, signaling to others that they can do it too. This is Chiron’s planetary signature energy pattern. Chiron reminds us that healing is an inside job, requiring strength and compassion for ourselves. Once we heal what is up for us, we can light the way for others. Take a moment to reflect on 2025 and the healthy ripples created for yourself and for others. Listen to the Chiron forks and notice what is illuminated, this is the Hero’s journey of Chiron. Pause and celebrate what you have transformed this year, no matter how small or large, you are the Hero in your own journey.
Celebrating and dancing continue to be keys to navigating these times. The Earth is shifting beneath our feet, and remembering we are eternal beings in a grand transformation helps everything feel like love instead of struggle. Your Acutonics tools and knowledge are here to support you with every step. You have this!
