Thrival Kit: Weaving Heart Connections Through the Holidays
Energize. Nourish. Awaken.
Our FREE Thrival Kit to uplevel with family and friends this season.
Give yourself the gift of authentic connection with your loved ones this holiday season. When we are open in our hearts and connecting from that place, it is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and each other. When we practice giving with love and receiving with love, we awaken.
This month is a family style (which includes soul family, friends, neighbors, etc.) free Thrival Kit where we come together and connect through movement and meditation practices, conversation prompts, and a recipe the whole family will love.
Family Time
Family time, especially around the holidays, can trigger joy and laughter, frustration or sadness, and everything in between.
Before we get to our holiday Thrival Kit, here are a few simple techniques to not only survive, but connect and thrive throughout the season.
Weaving Love Through Emotions
Can we practice weaving love through the season no matter what on the spectrum of emotions we are experiencing? If and when things get challenging, we can practice harnessing our breath and our emotions to activate healing first and foremost for ourselves, and in relationship with others as well.
So how do we do this?
As things start to feel activated, connect to sensations/emotion in your body where you feel that activation (belly, chest, throat etc). Breathe through the sensation/emotion so it can move through your body, rather than get stuck.
Drop into your heart and breathe slowly in and out of your heart to create a new pathway of presence and patience rather than speaking from the reactionary brain.
Bring your breath to the forefront of your experience, softening the listening of the outer world/voices and amplifying the listening of the inner world and your breath- slow and deepen the breath and breathe through any tightness.
Stay present with yourself with loving kindness as you continue to share in the conversation/festivities etc.
Make this a practice throughout the season. The more you practice the easier it becomes and the more powerful it becomes. Let it become your healing. Make it your medicine. What you will find is that when you shift your inner world and the energy patterns in your body, everything outside of you changes. It is a holiday miracle and the biggest gift you can give yourself!

Download the FREE app to access your Thrival Kit! Here you’ll find practices to Energize, Nourish, and Awaken this holiday season:
Energize with our Family Vibes one-hit-wonder, Dance Monkey. Movement medicine of dancing and harnessing joy together. It is in ALL of our primal Nature to dance, let it be playful like a monkey swinging from tree to tree with their family in tow.
Nourish with Chocolate Avocado Mousse. This video recipe - led by Amelie! - is fun for the whole family to make AND EAT together. POWERFUL tip: if kids (or adults!) are eating a lot of sugar, serve it with high-quality fats. The fat slows down how quickly the sugar metabolizes in the body so you don’t have kids bouncing off the walls. Fat also cuts the cravings for sugar. We use avocado fats in this recipe to uplevel health and downlevel the sugar highs and crashes.
Awaken with Heart Connection Meditation. Practicing together with family and friends, connecting to our hearts and one another with this 9-minute guided meditation
Bonus: Dinner Table Conversational Questions - handout
