When Stillness Speaks: Reclaiming Joy, Reclaiming Wholeness
There’s something about this season that tightens everything.
The days shorten. The pace quickens. The noise rises.
The lists get longer, the inbox louder, and our breath—without us realizing—gets caught somewhere high in our chests.
And yet, beneath all that urgency, there’s often a quieter signal pulsing beneath the surface.
A soft, persistent whisper from the nervous system: Slow down. Come home. Choose softness.
Most people think healing is supposed to be hard. That we only heal and evolve through effort, excavation, and emotional labor. And yes, sometimes that’s true. I’ve walked those valleys through illness, through unraveling, through rebuilding my life. But the older, wiser version of me knows something else just as true: some of the deepest healing doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from surrender. From play. From coming home to joy.
For over 35 years, I carried a quiet ache in my heart. A longing I didn’t always speak aloud, but that lived in my bones. A longing for a life with horses once again. Not just to ride again—but to be with them. To breathe with them. To return to a rhythm and a relationship that once shaped who I was.
As a little girl, horses were my refuge. They were more than animals—they were presence, regulation, stillness. They were the first beings to show me that it was safe to just be. Riding wasn’t about sport; it was about coming into coherence with something bigger than myself. The barn was my sanctuary, and the horses—my therapists, long before I knew what trauma was.
But life swept me in other directions. College. Career. Motherhood. Building a business. Holding space for others as they healed. And though it was a beautiful, purpose-filled life, that longing stayed with me like a quiet ember, glowing beneath the surface, waiting for the conditions to be right.
This year, I stopped waiting. I chose to answer the call.
Walking into that barn for the first time in decades was nothing short of sacred. The moment I opened the doors, time collapsed. The scent of hay met me first—earthy and sweet, like the inhale of a memory. Then came the smell of leather—rich, worn, sun-warmed tack that whispered of a thousand rides before mine. The air was cool and still, the kind of stillness that only exists where large, gentle animals live.
The horses turned toward me one by one. Not with excitement, but with presence. The kind that stops you in your tracks. Their eyes were soft and knowing, their breath slow and steady. One leaned into me, offering a soft nuzzle—a “horse kiss,” as I’ve always called it—her warm muzzle pressing gently to my cheek like she had been waiting for me too.
“Karin, my energetic medicine practitioner at Modern Holistic Health is very intuitive and experienced and has helped me release stuck emotions and forgive people/things that were hidden deep in my unconscious mind. I am so grateful to Karin for that!” – Susana G., March 2025 [See more]
Healing the Hidden Layers: Finding Energy, Clarity, and Joy as the Holidays Approach
By Karin Clarke, Emotions and Trauma Healing Practitioner
November is here, a month that holds both anticipation of holiday festivities and, for some, a challenge. The shorter days, the focus on gratitude, and the impending holiday season often stir up a mix of emotions. For many, it’s not just about planning meals and gatherings with friends and family; it’s about navigating the unseen weight of fatigue, grief, health challenges, and old emotional patterns that surface more strongly this time of year.
In my recent sessions with clients, I’ve noticed a theme: the hidden layers of pain and beliefs that quietly drain energy and joy. These layers aren’t always obvious. Sometimes they appear as persistent or more prevalent health struggles. For some, pain returns after you thought it was gone, chronic fatigue that won’t release its grip, or sleep that never quite refreshes you. At other times, they show up as emotions—sadness that lingers, unworthiness that whispers beneath the surface, or shame that blocks you from fully embracing who you are.
And during the holidays, these patterns are often amplified. Old family dynamics resurface, and the pressure to “show up” cheerfully can become heavy. In such moments, it may seem easier to push through the discomfort rather than take the time to pause and heal.
The Power of Language and Perspective
One of the most impactful shifts I’ve seen recently is the simple change in language. A client who had been describing her condition as “This is MY long COVID” realized she was reinforcing the identity of illness every time she spoke the words. Together, we reframed it: “My body is continuing to heal.” That single shift of perspective began to change her relationship with her body and her recovery. Additionally, noticing that her body IS healing and focusing on what feels good in her body shifts her mind (thoughts) and her body (emotions) to a greater healing state.
The words we use matter. They either keep us tethered to the past or open us to possibility. This season, pay attention to the story you tell yourself about who you are and where you’re headed. Are you reinforcing limitations, or are you creating space for healing and joy?
Releasing What No Longer FITS
Another client explored deep-rooted anger, sadness, and shame using emotional release techniques. What surfaced was a realization that these emotions weren’t enemies to be feared or used against himself; they had once been forms of protection. By acknowledging and releasing them, he was able to reclaim his energy and see himself with more compassion.
This is the hidden work many of us overlook. The stress of holiday planning won’t feel lighter if we’re still carrying decades-old grief or guilt in our body and mind. When you release what no longer fits for you, you create space for new experiences of peace, joy, and connection.
