- 0:25Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You Are Here,
- 0:28a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
- 0:32reconnect to yourself and remember the most important thing of all:
- 0:36why you're here. I'm Asia Suler, author, teacher,
- 0:41Earth Intuitive,
- 0:42and this is our intuitive reading for December, 2025.
- 0:47Cannot believe we're at the end of this year already,
- 0:50but the card that came up for this month actually brought me
- 0:55so much relief and peace, so I'm excited to hop into it.
- 0:59The themes for this month include new states of inner clarity,
- 1:04creating inner peace,
- 1:06having the skills to know how to create inner peace, allowing contentment,
- 1:11and rejuvenation before the unfurling.
- 1:15So without further ado, let's get into it.
- 1:18I felt like there was a stone that wanted to come in for us this month.
- 1:21I haven't picked any cards relating to stones yet in the
- 1:26reading, since I started doing readings at the beginning of this year.
- 1:30So I decided to work with the crystal ally deck for this,
- 1:33which is by Naisha Ahsian, who I think is going by a different name now,
- 1:37Samaya Aster. And I have had this deck...
- 1:41this deck was gifted to me many, many years ago,
- 1:44and it was one of the first decks I worked with that got me really interested in
- 1:48stones. And I have since gone on to work with stones in my practice,
- 1:51to study the Daoist lineage of stone medicine.
- 1:54And so in this reading for this month,
- 1:56I'm going to combine what was in the guidebook,
- 1:59but also what I know of with this stone that came through,
- 2:04as well as the messages that came through my channel and my guides. So the card
- 2:09that I got for this month is Tourmaline: Inner Peace.
- 2:13On the card,
- 2:15it is a pathway to a temple,
- 2:17and inside the temple it looks like a pink bubblegum bubble inside of the
- 2:22temple. And I know that I remember reading when these cards were created,
- 2:25that images of the stones were actually embedded into the
- 2:30cards.
- 2:30And so there's tourmaline images in here of closeup
- 2:35pictures of tourmaline,
- 2:37and I was excited about getting this card because tourmaline has such
- 2:42clear, direct, potent energy.
- 2:45And of course the theme of inner peace.
- 2:48Who doesn't like that? And I just want to leave a little note here to say,
- 2:51if you listened to the November reading,
- 2:55know that when I picked that card,
- 2:58our Lady of Thousand Waters,
- 3:00one of the key things it said about November was being
- 3:05able to allow the emotions in the waters to move through you so that you can
- 3:09come to a place of peace. And then for December,
- 3:12I pick "Inner Peace," or Tourmaline. I just loved that.
- 3:17That felt like such a special little arc for all of us. So in
- 3:22this deck,
- 3:23one of the things that is said in the card for tourmaline is that this is about
- 3:28living in the current moment,
- 3:30about releasing emotional patterns from the past to be able to
- 3:34experience peace, joy, and healing. Also,
- 3:39can I just say that in that reading for last month,
- 3:42that is exactly what we were talking about as something that we were doing in
- 3:45November is allowing these emotional patterns,
- 3:49these emotions to move up and through us. And in this month,
- 3:52one of the pieces of guidance in this guidebook is all about rewriting
- 3:57those emotional patterns,
- 3:58of renegotiating those patterns so that you can experience more joy,
- 4:01you can experience more healing, and yes,
- 4:04you can experience more inner peace. So all that work we did last
- 4:08month, everything that came up for you in the last month,
- 4:11it is here to now help you reach this space
- 4:16of experiencing more inner peace,
- 4:18of expanding your capacity to experience inner peace. So part of the description
- 4:22specifically says,
- 4:24"Inner peace is a vibratory state in which you're able to perceive and release
- 4:27emotional patterns that may be influencing the reality you are experiencing.
- 4:32This release of old patterns enables you to experience life in the moment
- 4:35without feeling the need to play out emotional habits that were created in the
- 4:39past." And the affirmation for this card is,
- 4:41"I live and create in the moment." Now,
- 4:45I'd love to talk about what I understand with tourmaline and tourmalines,
- 4:50and help you connect in from a little bit more of a Daoist lens,
- 4:54because that's my background in studying stones.
- 4:57And I think this will really help complete some of the picture. So tournalines
- 5:01are considered to be nourishing tonics. So tourmalines in general.
- 5:06And tourmalines come in a lot of different colors. There's pink tourmaline,
- 5:08there's green tourmaline, there's watermelon tourmaline.
- 5:12Tourmalines are thought to both build and cleanse,
- 5:15to draw things out of latency in our body.
- 5:19So draw things from where they've been hidden or stuck in the crevices,
- 5:24in the corners, and allow them to come up and out,
- 5:27clearing anything that's lingering.
- 5:29And what really came up for me when I got this card is this sense of like, whoa,
- 5:33we did so much emotional cleansing work in November, and now in this month,
- 5:37it's almost like allowing the last of those waters to flow.
- 5:40Like really letting whatever needs to come up and out,
- 5:44allowing it to be released from you so that you can come back into integrity
- 5:49with yourself, come back into a sense of wholeness,
- 5:51like a greater sense of wholeness than existed before. In Daoist stone medicine,
- 5:56tourmaline is often used for restlessness, insomnia, agitation,
- 6:01PTSD.
- 6:02We know that all of the gem-quality tourmaline that exists has high
- 6:07lithium content. Lithium is a compound that's often used in treating depression.
- 6:12So there's this lifting. There's a bringing up and out.
- 6:16There's a sense of processing and releasing and letting go of
- 6:20these patterns that have kept you in hard places or have kept you stuck in
- 6:25darker places. This is also a stone that is really rich in minerals.
- 6:30So there's a vitality and aliveness to it, a nourishment to it.
- 6:34In Chinese medicine, it's thought to nourish the blood.
- 6:38It helps bring you into a sense of aliveness,
- 6:41helps you to feel more alive because you are releasing what you don't need
- 6:45anymore. You are coming into the present moment,
- 6:48coming into fullness in this deeper way.
- 6:52I really see tourmaline as a stone of strength
- 6:54and directness. It's helping you to know which direction to go into,
- 6:58have this strength, to really have the clarity of this is who I am,
- 7:02this is where I am,
- 7:04this is my life. So let's move into what specifically came in
- 7:09for me through my guides and through my channel with this card of
- 7:14tourmaline, or inner peace. Well,
- 7:17this is a theme that's been coming up a lot recently,
- 7:19but I really think we're getting to a new level of it.
- 7:22And this is this theme of clarity.
- 7:24There's a sense that whatever you worked through in November,
- 7:29the spiritual catchup that happened in November,
- 7:31was important because of all the things that you've learned,
- 7:35especially this past fall, about who you are, how you work,
- 7:41what you need. And now in December,
- 7:45there's this piece where it feels like what's on offer is
- 7:49your ability to integrate what you've learned about who you are,
- 7:54how you work, what you need. And this month, this integration month,
- 7:59has this potential for inner peace because once you understand how you
- 8:04work and what you need, you have the ingredients to create inner peace.
- 8:09That's what inner peace is.
- 8:10Inner peace has nothing to do with our outer environments.
- 8:13Our outer environments can be pure chaos,
- 8:16and yet we can be able to access inner peace when we know what
- 8:20we need,
- 8:22when we know what it feels like to be still inside of ourselves to embrace these
- 8:27places of peace. You've learned something in this last arc of the year about how
- 8:32you specifically operate.
- 8:34You've learned the value of prioritizing inner peace,
- 8:38especially when the outer world is chaotic and overwhelming.
- 8:41There's been times this autumn where you have been given the task
- 8:46of accessing inner peace despite what's been going on around you.
- 8:49And so now in December,
- 8:52all of that learning is becoming so beautifully integrated.
- 8:56It's becoming so much more available,
- 8:58and you're really able to see how much you've learned in your ability to find
- 9:02and maintain these states of inner peace. You knowing how your energy
- 9:06works is what gives you this ability to create inner peace in your life.
- 9:10And you have learned so much about that in this last arc of the year,
- 9:14this fall - knowing how your unique energy functions in
- 9:19this world, what you need, what works for you.
- 9:23This is how you create peace.
- 9:26And you have been doing a lot of research into this this past fall. And so now,
- 9:30this December,
- 9:31there's this opportunity to really sink into that. And this might sound a little
- 9:36simplistic, but I think it needs repeating like forever,
- 9:40that this is a time and a month for you to focus on the light,
- 9:44to focus on your inner light, to focus on what brings you alive.
- 9:48Where I am in the northern hemisphere, we are moving into the solstice season.
- 9:52So we are getting close to the winter solstice,
- 9:55a time when all of our festivals revolve around these festivals of light,
- 9:59this acknowledgement that the light is returning, that life is returning.
- 10:03And so there is an invitation here to know that
- 10:08when you gift yourself time to focus on the light,
- 10:12to focus on yourself,
- 10:14to focus on the things that make you feel alive and bring you connection,
- 10:19when you allow yourself time for contentment and peace,
- 10:23that this inner peace that you can access creates more harmony in the
- 10:28world around you.
- 10:29The world needs you to be able to access inner peace.
- 10:33It is really incredible what a ripple this creates in the fabric of
- 10:38reality around you. So there is a theme this month of allowing contentment,
- 10:44of allowing that contentment to be there even in the midst of the busyness of
- 10:49the holiday season, the overwhelm of the season,
- 10:52getting ready to go on the holiday break and be on a break from school.
- 10:57There's a lot that tends to happen in our culture in December.
- 11:02And yet I also want you to give yourself permission to drop into the contentment
- 11:06of this month. I'm talking Hallmark movies,
- 11:10cozy socks, like that kind of contentment.
- 11:13Whatever it is that makes you feel like your life is a Hallmark movie,
- 11:17give yourself that this month. It is not selfish.
- 11:21It is not going to take you away from being a compassionate, kind,
- 11:25active participant in this world. It's actually the opposite.
- 11:28It's going to help you create more inner peace so that you can show up,
- 11:31you can show up and be this overflowing cup. And so give yourself
- 11:36that. Give yourself that inner sanctuary.
- 11:38Thinking back to the image of this card,
- 11:40of this bubblegum pink bubble inside of this temple.
- 11:45It's like give yourself that sanctuary this month and it
- 11:50will be really profound what you're able to access and tap into and share with
- 11:54others from the state of inner peace. And like, listen,
- 11:57you earned this after the hard work that you did in November of
- 12:02all the emotional clearing, all the emotional release.
- 12:04This feels like some hard earned peace.
- 12:08Just a little bit of a peace plateau,
- 12:11space to rest a little bit, to get some twinkle in your life,
- 12:15to just enjoy the moment in any way that you can.
- 12:20And to give yourself space for rest, for integration,
- 12:23for joy,
- 12:24to create rituals that mark the sacredness of this time. This is an
- 12:29incredibly sacred time of the year, this time of, where I live,
- 12:33the winter solstice.
- 12:34Maybe you're getting close to the summer solstice if you're in the southern
- 12:37hemisphere.
- 12:39There's a reason why this has remained one of the most sacred times in our
- 12:43cultural imagination,
- 12:45despite the difference of the changing of the tides of religion
- 12:50and time and place.
- 12:52And it's because this time of getting into the shortest days of the year,
- 12:56it lengthens the mysticism.
- 12:59It lengthens the unseen,
- 13:02it invites us into deeper tides of our life,
- 13:05into these places where the mystical reigns.
- 13:08And so any way in which you can mark this time,
- 13:12the sacredness of this time,
- 13:14to give yourself permission to sink into that sacredness,
- 13:18is going to be really important.
- 13:19And it's something that you're being asked to do this month. Because there's
- 13:23this sense of this month that this is the rejuvenation before
- 13:28the unfurling, that going into January,
- 13:32as we often do in the start of this Gregorian calendar,
- 13:37that this is the time in which we initiate new projects,
- 13:40we set new goals for the year.
- 13:42And the way I saw it was like a seed head emerging from the ground in
- 13:47January.
- 13:48It's like that very first unfurling from the seed
- 13:53of this tiny little sapling or this
- 13:58tiny little seedling.
- 14:00And that energy of rolling up from the earth,
- 14:04rolling up,
- 14:05will come in January if you give yourself time and permission to be in the earth
- 14:09right now. If you give yourself this time of inner peace,
- 14:13of stillness, of rejuvenation,
- 14:18of giving yourself permission to experience contentment. And this is a choice.
- 14:22There's a place here where inner peace is always a choice
- 14:27because there will always be things going on in the outer world.
- 14:30There's always going to be kerfuffles, always going to be busyness.
- 14:33There's always going to be invitations.
- 14:36There's always going to be things on the to-do list.
- 14:39So this is a potent moment for you to choose inner peace,
- 14:43for you to practice all you have gleaned in this past year,
- 14:47everything you've learned about yourself,
- 14:49and really incorporate it into a practice,
- 14:54a ritual of creating inner peace for yourself,
- 14:57of allowing yourself to rest in states of
- 15:01peace whenever they do exist, to breathe into them, allow them to expand,
- 15:06and to know that you have come so far. You've come so far in everything that you
- 15:10have learned about yourself, how your energy works, what you need.
- 15:15And this month is a little sacred opportunity too for you to practice that,
- 15:19for you, to integrate that and for you to choose inner peace,
- 15:23to know that you are worthy of experiencing
- 15:27peace, that what you give to the world innately,
- 15:31just through being yourself,
- 15:33gives you that permission slip to take time for inner peace,
- 15:37to know that this is a power that you bring to the world,
- 15:41that when people move from a place of inner peace,
- 15:44it moves and ripples out in the fabric of the world around them.
- 15:48And you are one of those people.
- 15:50So it's important that you prioritize inner peace,
- 15:54that you have the strength.
- 15:55It's a strength to give yourself permission to do this,
- 15:59to give yourself permission to access states of inner peace. And
- 16:04everything that you've learned this year that you've specifically really touched
- 16:09into this fall is here to help you access that state
- 16:14more and more. So when it is there, when you are feeling it, breathe into it,
- 16:18expand into it,
- 16:20feel it just like you practiced feeling your emotions in November.
- 16:24We all are practicing that. Now, practice feeling peace,
- 16:29practice letting peace be the thing that you feel.
- 16:33Building capacity for feeling peace inside your system,
- 16:36for knowing that it's not boredom,
- 16:39it's not lack, it's not lesser than,
- 16:43it's not selfish, that this is an important life giving energy.
- 16:47And you're giving yourself time to simply practice feeling the peace,
- 16:52allowing it in,
- 16:53and allowing it to expand. So if you know that
- 16:57you want to create a holiday season that is full of

- 19:01I'm really giving myself permission during this time to take stock of all I've

- 19:58may it help you remember that most important thing of all:
- 20:02why you're here.
