Join Marilyn Poscic for Two Special November Zoom Classes: Pendulums & Tapping for Stress Relief
- November 12: Pendulum Stress Relief Zoom Class
- November 19: EFT Tapping Stress Relief Zoom Class
The holidays are supposed to be a season of joy, love, gratitude, and togetherness. Yet for many people, November and December bring something entirely different: overwhelming schedules, financial pressure, family expectations, grief, and emotional exhaustion.
What if you could enter the holiday season feeling calmer, more balanced, and better prepared to handle whatever comes your way?
This November, spiritual teacher and intuitive guide Marilyn Poscic invites you to discover two approaches to managing holiday stress through her interactive Zoom classes: Using a Pendulum to Reduce Stress and Using Tapping (EFT) to Reduce Stress.
These classes are designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and develop simple practices you can use before, during, and long after the holiday season.
Why Do the Holidays Cause So Much Stress?
Holiday stress is far more common than many people realize. Research from the American Psychological Association has found that nearly nine in ten U.S. adults report experiencing stress during the holiday season.
Some of the most common holiday stressors include:
- Financial pressure: Buying gifts, preparing meals, traveling, and hosting celebrations can quickly strain a household budget.
- Grief and missing loved ones: Holiday traditions can bring memories of people who are no longer with us.
- Family relationships: Difficult conversations, unresolved disagreements, and expectations can create emotional tension.
- Loneliness: Not everyone has family or friends nearby, and the holidays can intensify feelings of isolation.
Even the excitement of decorating, shopping, cooking, and attending celebrations can become overwhelming when there is little time to rest.
But holiday stress doesn’t have to control your experience.
By learning to recognize your emotional responses and practicing techniques that encourage calm and mindfulness, you can approach the season with greater awareness and confidence.
Class One: Learning Which Pendulum Is Best to Reduce Stress and How to Use It
When you think of a pendulum, you may imagine a crystal suspended from a delicate chain, swinging gently back and forth as someone asks a question.
But did you know that a pendulum can also become a tool for mindfulness, emotional awareness, and relaxation?
A pendulum’s gentle, rhythmic movement can provide a visual point of focus, helping you slow your breathing, quiet racing thoughts, and bring your attention into the present moment.
Understanding the Pendulum and Emotional Balance
In spiritual pendulum practices, the movement of the pendulum is sometimes used as a metaphor for our emotional lives.
Imagine the pendulum resting peacefully at its center. This represents emotional equilibrium—a state of calm, balance, and stability.
As the pendulum swings from side to side, it can symbolize the emotional highs and lows we experience throughout our daily lives.
Happiness, excitement, frustration, sadness, and worry are all natural parts of being human. The goal isn’t to eliminate these feelings but to recognize them without allowing them to overwhelm us.
By observing the pendulum and focusing on its movement, you can practice returning your attention to a calm, centered state.
What Will You Learn?
During this interactive Zoom class, Marilyn will introduce participants to the use of pendulums as part of a personal relaxation and spiritual practice.
You’ll explore the differences between crystal and metal pendulums, discuss how to select one that feels comfortable to use, and learn ways to incorporate pendulum-focused meditation into your daily routine.
You’ll also discover how to use quiet observation and intentional breathing to create moments of stillness when holiday responsibilities begin to feel overwhelming.
The goal is simple: Learn how to find your center, even when life around you feels chaotic.
Pendulum practices are spiritual and meditative tools rather than scientifically established methods for measuring emotional states. Their value for relaxation may come from focused attention, breathing, and taking a mindful pause.
Class Two: Using Tapping to Reduce Your Stress
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that your thoughts seem to race faster than you can manage them?
Perhaps you’re worried about holiday expenses, anxious about a family gathering, or feeling emotional about someone you miss.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, may offer a practical way to pause and work through those feelings.
What Is EFT Tapping?
EFT tapping combines gentle fingertip tapping on specific points of the face and upper body with focused attention on a particular emotional concern.
The technique draws inspiration from traditional acupressure while incorporating elements of psychological approaches such as acknowledging emotions and using acceptance statements.
For example, someone feeling overwhelmed by holiday responsibilities might repeat:
“Even though I feel overwhelmed by everything I need to accomplish, I choose to be kind to myself and take one thing at a time.”
While repeating this statement, the individual gently taps a sequence of designated points.
Some clinical studies suggest that EFT may help reduce self-reported stress and anxiety, and certain studies have observed changes in cortisol levels. However, the evidence remains developing, and the precise mechanisms are not fully established.
What Will You Learn?
During Marilyn’s November 19 Zoom class, you’ll explore how tapping can be incorporated into your personal stress-management routine.
Marilyn will guide participants through identifying common tapping points, focusing on a specific source of stress, and creating acceptance statements that acknowledge difficult emotions without judgment.
You’ll also learn how to use this technique when you feel overwhelmed by holiday preparations, emotional family situations, or everyday worries.
The beauty of tapping is its simplicity. Once you’ve learned the basic sequence, you can practice it at home without expensive equipment or a complicated routine.
Tapping can be a complementary self-care practice, but it should not replace professional mental health care when needed.
Two Classes. Two Approaches. One Goal: A More Peaceful Holiday Season.
Imagine approaching the holidays with a different mindset.
Instead of feeling obligated to do everything perfectly, you give yourself permission to slow down.
Instead of becoming overwhelmed by difficult emotions, you recognize them and make space to respond thoughtfully.
Instead of waiting until you’re exhausted to take care of yourself, you begin practicing relaxation and emotional awareness before the busiest weeks arrive.
That’s the inspiration behind Marilyn’s November classes.
You don’t need previous experience with pendulums, tapping, or spiritual practices to participate. Simply bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore new ways of caring for yourself.
Make Yourself a Priority This Holiday Season
The holidays are often about giving to others. But one of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself is the opportunity to feel more peaceful, present, and emotionally balanced.
Whether you’re curious about pendulums, interested in EFT tapping, or simply looking for ways to navigate the holiday season with less stress, Marilyn’s classes offer an opportunity to explore new self-care practices.
Remember: You deserve to experience the holidays with joy, connection, and peace—not just another list of obligations.
Make this the year you begin taking care of your emotional well-being before the holiday rush begins.
