The energetic twist and turns of the Equinox and full moon

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

We’ve just celebrated the Equinox. Here in the northern hemisphere we’ve moved into the Fall; and in the south, spring has sprung! And today, a powerful full moon moves in center stage, drawing out within us what is ready to manifest for our deepest growth.

Over the last few days, as the Equinox and moon energy has been building, I’ve been feeling this simultaneous letting go and taking in. It’s caught my attention because usually there is a bit more of a differentiating  of my energy when I am releasing something and when I am integrating new ways of Being. But this past week it’s been one big shebang!

To be honest I feel a bit this the towel in this picture! It’s like I have my own personal energy vortex and the energy leaving twists one way, and energy coming in twists another.

Any minute now I will shake myself out and be good to go! But at the moment I am truly feeling the energy!

All this got me thinking about the energy on the planet. As one part of the world moves into an energy of Spring, where seeds get sown and ideas move into blossom, the other part of the world moves into the Fall, where we harvest that which was planted a few months back.

The wheel keeps turning!

I realize in the midst of this twist with my own energy, it is this motion that creates the momentum right now to keep my energy shedding and calling in what needs to come in. And this experience of my energy in such an intense way has brought me to an even deeper respect for what my energetic intelligence can do!

I feel the twisting energy on a much bigger scale. And I realize that the twist  is the energy that propels all of us forward in the ways that are needed. It is the cycle of change that is turning the wheel.

So as you sit with the energy of the Equinox (wherever you may be) as well as the full moon’s pull, be reminded of the true intelligence of Nature.

And if you too feel a bit like this wrung-out towel, like me, have no fear.

The energy of the Equinox and the  moon is strong. But it’s time for this intensity. It’s drawing out all that is ready to manifest, and all that is lying dormant within that will move you into truly living your Truth.

Let your inner towel drip out all that is no longer needed!  And when ready, shake yourself out, smooth out the wrinkles and know that you are exactly where you need to be.

The Time Between…The Rising Dark

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I’m feeling the shifting of the seasons right now. Its almost as if there is a lull or a heaviness in the air, as we meet the in between time—the time between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice here in the Northern hemisphere.

Each day I feel the presence of that energy directing me to slow down. I feel it in my chest; a wanting to move within. And as each day grows shorter, more and more of the dark rises up and takes a bit of the light away.

Throughout my adult life I have always liked this time. It gives me the chance to connect with Innana and move into the underworld, to shed my layers. Some Winters call me deeper into this process than others. This year, it feels as if the call has already started.

Perhaps what I am feeling is more than just the seasonal change. After all we are undergoing a global evolutionary change which pulls and tugs at our consciousness in new ways. And those who are aware of this pull seem to have a growing sense of responsibility to change…the time is now.

But of course change is afoot all around us. And for me in this “time between,” I am asking myself the question over and over, “Where must I go within to hold a new way of being?”

The answers to this question, I am sure, lay in the rich darkness waiting for me.

The Fall Equinox: A Celebration as We Begin Our Journey Inward

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Life has been busy lately, at least in my neck of the woods. As summer has been winding down, I’ve been aware that Fall is coming (at least here in the Northern hemisphere.) But I’ve been trudging along without giving it much thought.

Today I woke and realized that indeed, Fall is here! And I’m reminding myself that this transition time is the perfect time to step back and honor my own creations, my own “steps forward,” that can often get lost in my day-to-day hustle.

The autumnal equinox is one of those turning point days for me. It’s a quiet reminder to notice time passing. And with it usually comes an inner transition to begin a journey inward again. Yet there is still an energy of celebration and vitality that the summer months have held. And the energy that I feel today, as we begin our transition into Fall,  is one of true celebration. A celebration of life and the abundance around us — that we may not be taking the time to notice — as we each move through our own daily life.
