Harvesting On the Equinox

We are at the balance point of light and dark again.
​The inner world communicating with the outer world.
Finding the nurturing flow between giving and receiving,
between active and intuitive states of being. ​

Where are you, with your inner balance?
Do you need more of the doing or more of the listening?

As the autumn rolled along and my schedule got more busy, it became clear to me that I was heading towards exhaustion... AGAIN! Just after having gathered back my strength during the summer when I was not working. Even though I definitely should know better... Still. Feeling the overwhelm creeping in.

It can be very challenging to be highly sensitive.
​
It requires CONSTANT listening,
going within, connecting with nature,
​giving yourself a break.
​
On all levels. 
While you are still alive and breathing!

​This gets highlighted even more for me as a mother of a 5 year old. She needs me being fully present in her life. Playing with Mimi can be such a wild ride into the realms of pure imagination! It can create the most amazing situations, where profound ideas get spontaneously presented. This moment above, with the withered calendulas, the skeleton and the dinosaur captured something essential for me, about the short time frame we humans have in this life...

To honour myself, completely, just as I am, I have been taking time off even when feeling it to be counterintuitive, when 'not having the time' for it. Because this precious connection I have with my soul's wisdom and with nature is more important than anything. It nurtures me, inspires me, sustains me. Without this sacred connection, I am only partly present. Without honouring my sensitivity I cannot truly, fully be who I am. 

Nature is a source of healing connection for me.
In nature, I walk in a state of wonder and awe.
Magic starts to feel very real and I feel supported and loved by
Mother Earth, Mama Gaia, our home, this planet.

​Can you relate?
Do you honour your core essence, your deepest needs, enough?
Could you take better, loving care of yourself? 
​
What would your body, your inner knowing, ask of you?
Could you answer it's call and be the one who loves you the most?

Take a moment to listen within as you receive this Equinox Vocal Blessing.

May you shed what needs to be released.
May you welcome what is asking to arrive.
May you find peace and joy in this journey called life!

 I am right here with you, in spirit, as a human, on this path of constant change.

For your Inner Peace, Balance and JOY,
