Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology With Jeremy Devens

Take the Mindful New Year Workshop at https://www.mindfulnewyear.comThe Winter Solstice is one of the most powerful pause points of the year. In this episode, I reflect on the solstice as a sandhi, a sacred junction point in the Vedic tradition where one cycle ends and another begins. Whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, this moment invites stillness, reflection, and honest self-inquiry.I share how expansion and contraction show up in nature, in our bodies, and in our lives, and how understanding these rhythms can help you stop forcing change and start aligning with what is naturally unfolding. We explore how dashas reflect long-term phases of inward or outward focus, why chasing goals for future happiness often leads to dissatisfaction, and how cultivating the feeling you desire now can shift everything.This episode is a gentle invitation to pause the “game,” reassess what is truly working, and reconnect with your deeper sense of purpose as we approach a new year. Perfect listening for solstice week, end-of-year reflection, and anyone feeling the call to slow down and realign.Key ideas and quotes• “The solstice is a sandhi, a junction point where the Sun appears to stand still and invites us to pause.”• “There are times for expansion and times for contraction, and neither is wrong.”• “The shortest distance between where you are and where you want to be isn’t a line, it’s a point.”• “When you condition happiness on a future outcome, the finish line keeps moving.”• “Cultivate the feeling you think the goal will give you, and let action follow from that state.”

Plan Your Year in Sync With Astrology at MindfulNewYear.comMany people imagine a spiritual awakening as a peaceful, bliss-filled experience. In reality, it often begins with discomfort, questioning, and unexpected emotional shifts. In this episode, Jeremy Devons shares five surprising signs that you may be going through a spiritual awakening. He breaks down how physical pain, depression, anxiety, and emotional extremes can actually be signals that something deeper is shifting in your inner world. You’ll learn how awakening often shows up through misalignment, the messages held in the body, and why these challenging moments can guide you toward clarity, purpose, and a more aligned path. This perspective can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and how to move through these changes with more compassion and awareness.Key Points Summary- Spiritual awakening is the moment you become conscious of something you were previously “asleep” to.- Awakening usually begins through discomfort rather than bliss.- Pain acts as a message that something in your life is out of alignment.- Ignored pain often escalates into emotional extremes like depression or anxiety.- Depression arises when the nervous system collapses into a “down” state.- Panic/anxiety arises when the nervous system gets stuck in an “on” state.- Both are invitations to slow down and look within.- Physical symptoms often mirror emotional or spiritual misalignment.- Personal healing unfolds in layers and may take years, but each stage brings insight.- The body holds memories, patterns, and unresolved emotions that surface during awakening.If you’re in a season of change or questioning, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
