Find the Fall Flow with Letting Go

Happy Equinox week! The Spring Equinox is a time to allow new energies to emerge and new ideas, projects and passions to be planted. The Summer Solstice is about watering these very things and practicing patience for them to blossom. Until we arrive at NOW, the Fall Equinox time, which is about harvesting the many blessings that we DO have & that which we have successfully stepped into or created since the Spring. In addition to acknowledging & giving thanks for these things, it's also a time to start thinking about what would be healthy & helpful to release. Think of those fall leaves that in letting go they create even more beauty.

Our intentions we consciously consecrate right now during this week can create a climate or carry a flavor that can positively influence the next 3 months if we choose to do so.

So I'd invite you to contemplate what energies have served you well these past many months but you are now ready to release? It is often easy to think of what we know we *need* to release for our own benefit, but also are there things, relationships or activities that were helpful but perhaps stepping stones that can be let go? The patterns we release that no longer serve us of living, thinking and being become fertilizer to create new energy in the future.

With each season, I create a simple centerpiece on my kitchen table (pictured here) to remind me and my family of the season, and of its gifts & teachings. Each day when I see it, I remember to continually align with the cycles of nature for in doing so I align with her power and bring myself back into Presence which is the greatest gift of all!

Wrinkles Are Your Fight Song

I woke up this morning to an anti-aging/anti-wrinkle ad in my feed with a female actor mouthpiece who is the CEO of a company that supposedly empowers women and wellness. This is on top of overhearing 2 conversations this week of women saying how smiling a lot in pictures show wrinkles & how smiling a lot creates them.

This is not a blame game people, but a testament to the insidious subtle & overt marketing malady that is present in our society for both men and women that teaches us to fear aging and wrinkles.

It is in spades for women & until we all notice it & call it out with compassion, it won’t stop it’s reverberation power that moves through our psyches and then resounds through our words.

My wrinkles are my #fightsong and so are YOURS! If you are “aging” you are getting to be alive longer & this is nothing but a gift.

No one would dream of looking at a tree, and say it’s wrinkles were to be admonished as we all know that it’s echelons are a testament to its years which make it wise, powerful & able to offer this world shade.

So if & when you hear those mp3 recordings of anti-aging/anti-wrinkle propaganda in your mind, compassionately understand why and then delete them by replacing them with thoughts of gratitude for another day of embodiment. And the truth is smiling as much as possible when appropriate (a fav practice of mine;) is a gratitude practice that creates “tejas” the yogic word meaning “the luster of a person’s soul that shines out”...and that’s the best make up and “product” to keep you feeling youthful from the inside out.

Happy Autumnal Equinox🍁

On this day when day & night are balanced,I like to reflect on my fav way of thinking about balance which is that it is illusive as all get up.As a #libra with FIVE planets in the house of libra,I used to think of life as a game of seeking balance as much as possible in my outer circumstances.And while I think this is still a worthwhile quest and perspective,I have also come to simultaneously recognize that most of life is actually meant to be lived with our outer circumstances being out of balance, dynamic and at times, chaotic, and that the true holy grail is to find tools & technologies to find that equilibrium on the inside.

The world will be the world, people will be people, and life will be life...period.The gift of all those things being SO themselves which makes life so often feel off-centered is that it creates a longing to seek and find balance sourced from within ourselves.

I would LOVE to feel calm, centered and peaceful all the time but the truth is all the knowledge I've ascertained from NOT feeling that way, has helped me learn that there are all these profound tools to source peace and harmony from inside myself. This realization actually liberates us from being codependent on life’s outer circumstances & others for our own peace.

The Modern Mystic Membership platform lives on my website (link in bio) launched only a month ago, & members have received the following videos to support them in their quest for more balance,peace & harmony(in addition to over 100 + yoga & meditation video library).Ready to salivate?....

Each month, more and more videos will be added as we sync & align our internal rhythms with the cycles of the seasons and nature. Sign up for this profound and lovely membership on my website and lmk if any questions!
