The Summer Gave...
...and the Fall taketh away, with love.
August gave. September shall give even more. Contrary to what we are made to believe about loss and the changes in seasons; all shifts come with invitations. How much of your life would change if you received every emotion and every person you encounter as a gift? ….yes, even the gifts (and people) that are seasonal.
This month, September, carries the energy of 9 = transitions, spiritual awareness, enlightenment, service, and sacrifice. It is the last stage before a new cycle begins.
Personally, I’ve been offered a new path of deep clarity; allowing me to take an unapologetic stance within the limitless opportunities I have to live and love without hesitation. Honoring the fire. Respecting the stern shifts and pivots. I see and hear much clearer.
The Jaguar medicine is ever present in me. Collectively, I can feel her (the jaguar) extending compassion, reflecting to us a heart-opening courage. Shielding and protecting, guiding us into more grace.
What new offerings or discoveries have you been gifted in this seasonal shift? Have you paused to acknowledge them? …the Summer you and, now, the Fall version of you?
Last Wednesday, I ended the summer season of devotions on IG LIVE. While it was a bittersweet ‘see you later’, it has given me even more than what I was grieving would be taken away. I’ve been blown away at what new devotions have surfaced for my pleasure and practice in preparation for the Fall Equinox. Declare this with me:
“I decree and declare, I have entered new energy. Great changes are happening for me. Things are always getting better. Everything is aligning. Blessings are coming and blessings are here!”
Now, shall we Fall into some delicious #gentlereminders?
First, ask yourself: what would it feel like for me to live without conclusions?
It’s not a loss, it’s redirection.
What a relief it is to not be physically or energetically tied to what (and who) is not for you.
You are still an everpresent work in progress; an unfolding rough draft. Your potential is limitless and infinite. Release the sense of urgency to be in your final form.
Allow your nervous system time to heal. You are worth the time it takes. Let the residuals of stress and trauma transmute into a ‘return to sender’ energy.
May you know peace; and not just as a prescription to your chaos, but as a constant companion.
Do not be ashamed of seasons (like this one) where you disconnect more heavily. Give yourself more grace and compassion as you would others. You are fighting battles in high places and accepting peace in ways you can’t even share.
Your spiritual awakening is summoning the audacity in you.
All is coming together for your good….for the good of all and no harm to none.
Here’s a good place to take a sip of your #cupofjoy ~ swallow and expand your body and limbs to fully digest these truths. Let’s go deeper…
You don’t have to fall into the chaos of others' sense of urgency.
You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to do it all alone.
You don’t have to explain, convince, compete, or compare with those who are aligned with you.
You can walk away from people who carry old patterns and energy reminiscent of past connections.
You can absolutely say no.
You can most definitely honor your yes.
You are allowed to protect your anointing by filtering who you give access to your energy and gifts.
You can remain in alignment with your assignment without feeling guilty for releasing what and who is misaligned.
You can live in the fullness of your joy without feeling guilty.
You can stand in your clear feeling and clear knowing, never letting anyone shame you for your non-negotiables.
You can be compassionate with yourself and use that grace to guide you in giving compassion to others.
You can still do it afraid.
You can and will be okay.
You can ask the Universe or the Divine Intelligence that governs your life- to switch the players in your current timeline and align you with connections that feel effortless and add to your spark and joy.
You can remind others and yourself that your presence is a privilege.
You can pray. It still works.
You can reconnect with your boundaries for this season, for each season, and ask Spirit to help you anchor in your devotion to honoring yourself.
You can acknowledge what you see and hear and discern the sacredness of not rushing to share or feel every revelation you encounter.
You can release the illusion that the more information you absorb, the more validated you are. You are already whole and validated the moment you unlock and unleash the gifts assigned to you.
You will come to accept that you never have to apologize for your existence, ever.
If you remember nothing else this season, you are loved. Always. In all ways.
See you on the other side of the Equinox.
So many nourishing gems here. Especially sitting with these: "You can acknowledge what you see and hear and discern the sacredness of not rushing to share or feel every revelation you encounter." And, "Your spiritual awakening is summoning the audacity in you." Thank you for this gift to help us transition into a new timeline.
