Happy Autumn Equinox!

'There is nothing so stable as change.”

Hello friend,

Happy Autumn Equinox!

September 23rd, 2019 is the beginning of our Autumn season here in the Northern Hemisphere. I am getting ready to do an Autumn Equinox ritual.

The Autumn Equinox is a meaningful time of year to honor your harvest whether that be a real harvest of the things planted in your garden or of the harvest of effort, and internal growth torward your life path intentions set earlier in the year.

My own personal growth has been on overdrive this year.  When I think back to the issues and limiting beliefs, I was dealing with at the start of the year I’m amazed and grateful at how far I’ve come.

The change in seasons are key points in the cycle of life in nature and within this cycle many ancient cultures perceived a powerful deeper message for humanity.

Indigenous cultures recognized earth- based wisdom and understood that the four focal points of the year; the Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, and Autumn Equinox, illuminated stages of an inner spiritual journey, a spiritual cycle that the individual takes within themselves.

As I have consciously linked my awareness to nature cycles, my understanding of my own cycles has deepened. My seasonal rituals have become a great way to reflect, learn and grow from my passage through days, months and years.   When I participate in my own consciousness this way, I develop new skills in awareness that affect every choice I make in life.

Below is a simple ritual I’m going to do to assist with letting go of what has been that no longer serves me to open space for all the awesome stuff coming to and through me now!

Ritual for the Autumn Equinox 

This ritual is perfect for releasing the past, clearing negative beliefs, feelings and / or situations in preparation to welcome in the new. Use your intuition to add to and change this ritual as you feel guided to. Have fun staying connected and focused on the subtle energies within and all around you!

Supplies:

•   assorted dried flowers or fresh herbs (any will do, you can even use herbal tea, be sure to empty the bag)
• water bowl
• 1 candle: white, yellow, green, brown, orange or red
•  your favorite crystal
•  journal and writing utensil

The Steps:
1.     Find a quiet place to do this ritual where you won’t be disturbed. Light the candle and place it next to your bowl of water.
2.     Meditate holding your crystal for a few minutes to help clear and release your mind. Contemplate on what’s ready to go.
3.     In your journal write down what you want to release from within ad all around you.
4.     Place your flowers and herbs into the water.
5.     Use your finger and stir the herb water around in a clockwise direction 5 times to generate some energy.
6.     State what you want to release out loud 3 times. Fold the paper up and place it into the water.
7.     Swirl the water around again with your finger 7 – 9 times. Watch how the paper gets soggier and soggier.
8.     Take the bowl and hold it up against your hearts center. When you feel ready, state out loud “I release this” and dump the water out. You can dump the water outside, in the sink or in the bath.
9.     Throw the piece of paper away. Discard the herbs in the garden or outside.
10. Express gratitude for the completion.
11. Keep the candle burning for as long as possible, ideally until it burns out naturally.

May the blessings be!

I’d Love to help!

Your higher self is who you truly are as an individual, the real you.

Your higher self is the you that is disassociated from, and not influenced by, the ego or fear.

Conscious connection with your higher self is the path of least resistance to everything you require and desire!

Are you ready for more ease, grace and continual flow?
