Equinox Invitation-the preparation for the Descent
I have to admit-I love living somewhere where I truly experience the changing of the seasons. I am surrounded by Mother Nature and by observing Her through the seasons, we can work with (rather than against) the energies on offer. She is in the season of harvest and letting go.
The current Equinox portal (Equinox is on the evening 22nd for those of you in the UK) is open and I wanted to share with you a couple of themes and practices that the Akashic Records has offered up for honouring this energetic transition.
Themes & Practices:
The final releasing. You will recall in my last newsletter I talked about the karmic purging that the eclipse energies offered. This Equinox portal is inviting you to finally say goodbye to those parts of you, those old programmes and those old karmic cycles and situations. They cannot move forward into the next season of your life if you want to stay in alignment to your Soul. Perhaps you want to honour this by writing a ‘Letter of Goodbye’ to all the things you wish to release and burn it on the Equinox to mark the completion?
An invitation for more spaciousness. This is a theme that has been coming up a lot in my 1:1 work with people and in our busy daily lives, it can feel quite overwhelming to create spaciousness. Feel free to start small, grabbing a few extra minutes of spaciousness each day. Sit with your morning drink and truly savour it. Run a bath and linger in it for an extra 5 minutes. We are transitioning into the descent and to honour this and see what is coming forward for us, we need space.
Integration of and marination in everything received/realised during the active seasons of Spring and Summer. You may not feel quite ready for ‘what’s next?' but try to get comfortable in the unknowing. Know that through the Descent, all will become clear. Allow ideas to flow in and spend a lot of time in the energy of imagination. Dream big and don't yet worry about the ‘how.’ Write a ‘Love letter to your Life’ to give gratitude for everything the Spring and Summer gave you.
The need for nurturing ourselves. The Descent is guided by the internal Divine Feminine energy, and it is a journey into the deepest aspects of ourselves, including our shadow. Rather than fearing the Descent, surrender into it. Set a daily or weekly practice where you will spend some time nurturing yourself and reflecting on the inner landscape. Blankets, candles and pillows are the only equipment you need. Create a cocoon of nurturing for yourself and just BE.
Practice sitting in the darkness. Equinox marks the point where we shift into longer nights and shorter days. A lot of us were taught to fear the darkness but it is as essential as the light. Spend some time sat outside at night (wrapped up) and star gaze. Practice some meditations in the darkness. See what She has to offer up to you.
