The Autumn equinox; an invitation to come into balance

Balance at the Autumn Equinox with feng shui design

I hope  you are enjoying the wonderful “Indian Summer” weather, what a treat to have such warmth and light as we arrive at one of the “tipping points” of the year – the Autumn Equinox. The hours of daylight and darkness are equal all over the world. A pause at the mid-point between the summer and winter solstices. In the Northern hemisphere we now prepare ourselves for the darker nights as we journey toward the winter solstice. The days now become markedly shorter, giving us time to reflect.

This coming Saturday, I am honoured to have been invited to speak at the Feng Shui Society FREE Online Community Day. along with a host of other speakers. My presentation will be focusing on balancing our energies at the Autumn Equinox.

I hope to see you there.

THE AUTUMN EQUINOX

The Autumn equinox is a traditional time of celebrating what we have “harvested” this year. Now that we have left behind the work of the summer we can take a breath and restore our balance. This is the time of year when we begin our journey inward. Winter is a time of planning, of gaining some clarity on the journey so far and on what “seeds” we might like to plant for next year.

Equinoxes prepare us for change as we tap into the earths energy and the transition into winter. This is the beginning of “root energy” when mother Earth draws her energy inward and down into her roots beneath the earth. She enters a time of release, rest and renewal.

This offers us a great opportunity to tune our energy inward, asking for guidance and remaining open to inner change. A wonderful time to state our intentions and connect to our inner wisdom.

IGNITING OUR INNER FIRE

We celebrate DRAGON energy in Spring and in Autumn. In Autumn the Dragon is invoked to carry the fire of the sun into the underworld, the unseen realms and to ignite our inner fire. By activating this energy we can get in touch with our inner power, our focus and our inner wisdom. The light of this inner fire illuminates our path forward.

Use this coming week to release what no longer serves you. Let go of clutter, clear your physical, mental and emotional decks. This makes space for more freedom to explore and for new ideas and possibilities to drop in. We get to be child-like and creative in this inner space of freedom and connection to source.

COMING INTO BALANCE

This is a point of balance between the inhale and the exhale of our inner and outer journey. This part of the  endless cycle of dynamic balance brings us to a place of renewal and offers us the opportunity to explore and understand our inner world.

GRATITUDE

Look back on the year you have experienced so far. Give thanks for the gifts and help you have received. Rest, recharge, be at peace with where you are now and allow yourself to heal and dream a new dream.

Wishing you every blessing at the Autumn Equinox and beyond!
