Fall has arrived (although not astrologically-that will be the Fall Equinox on September 22nd). There is a feeling in the air of “back to school", a fresh start and the end of summer. In fact, some people used to put away their white clothing after Labor Day. Yes, I give you permission to wear white after Labor day!!
I don’t have to tell you that this is no ordinary September. We are being called to step up and be counted as we walk through this gateway into the ninth month. In numerology, 9 represents completion, so we are being asked to look at the old limiting beliefs, habits and attitudes we are holding on to that no longer serve us personally or as a collective. And we are being asked to simplify and make space for the New Energy coming this season. It is time to shine the light on what needs attention.
Our collective shadow is up to be cleared and it doesn’t look pretty. Racism, discrimination of any kind, trauma, ignorance, power issues, aggression and rage are alive and thriving, yet at the same time, kindness, caring, true connections, concern for the Earth and an increase in practices that bring in more light are stronger than ever.
I am an eternal optimist, however I do know that things will not change overnight. It will take our commitment to living life with more equality, peace and justice. Start small and build up your spiritual resiliency. Focus on what gives you strength and brings you hope.
To quote a Balinese Dancer, “Someone out there needs you, so live your life so that they can find you.”
Here are a few things to remember along the way:
1. Start with Clearing out the Old.
2. Simplify.
3. Find a spiritual practice that works for you and do it for a minimum of 5 minutes twice a day.
4. Take care of your physical body: stretch, walk, take computer breaks every 90 minutes.
5. Do things that bring joy and laughter into your life.
6. Spend time with people who lift you up.
7. Be gentle with yourself… Remember that everyone moves at a different speed.
#8. Some things you can change alone and some things you will require assistance with, so reach out and get the help you need.
Friday is the 19th Anniversary of 9/11. Take the time you need to reflect and take care of yourself. Covid has triggered many memories of old trauma, so be aware that you may be very emotional and feeling vulnerable at this time. I will be posting a special healing remembrance video on my Instagram this Friday.
