Welcome to the Autumn Equinox!

It’s Here!

 

From March 18 – 22 you can enJOY the benefits of the Autumn Equinox (in the Southern Hemisphere) while the Northern Hemisphere enJOYs the Spring Equinox.

 

There is a part of our brain that is in sync with the cycles of nature and an Equinox is one of those cycles.

 

An Equinox is a time of Balance when light and dark, night and day are of equal length, a time of major transformation as we begin a new cycle, assisting us to replace old ways of thinking with better ways more easily.

 

The Autumn Equinox encourages us to celebrate the last of the Summer’s abundance and warmth and to clean out the “dead wood” in our lives.

 

Clients have been describing feeling stuck, the paths blocked and a lack of clarity. They have been re-assessing and re- calibrating who they TRULY are, what they want from Life and strategizing accordingly by letting go of what no longer works or is no longer in support.

 

This can be a time of Positive Change.

 

Once the old habits, patterns of thinking negatively or expecting life to continue to repeat itself unchanged are released, emotional patterns blocking progress reveal themselves. When the old survival mode is shifted clients are describing Life , ideas, solutions and energy flowing again. They are back on track.

 

Relationships too have been under the spotlight …anything negative or unsupportive is being re- assessed and reorganised through improving communication, or discarded to make room for better.

 

If you would like help with this, contact me for an Equinox session.

 

In the meantime enJOY the massive energy of transformation and change of the Autumn Equinox!

Autumn Equinox Exercise…

 

It’s Autumn when we prune the dead wood and let go of the habits and beliefs than no longer work for us. Like holding onto old regrets, grudges and fears that hold us back from living the life you are meant to.

 

Autumn is the time in chinese medicine that the lungs and large intestine are at optimum levels of cleaning and clearing out old grief and guilt.

 

“The past is gone, and we cannot get it back. We can only live in the present moment. Now is the time to weigh our current circumstances, reevaluate our values and goals, and begin to make decisions that will foster the lives we want to live.”

– James Van Praagh

Time to Let it Go Exercise

 

 

By doing this exercise at this time you can access seasonal energy of Autumn and the heightened spiritual energy of this time, you can let go and step forward into the life you are meant to be living now, gently, easily, lovingly and well supported. So, give yourself 15 minutes this weekend to play with this exercise.

 

Swish water around your mouth to wake up the brain then follow it with a normal mouthful of water to hydrate.

 

Headhold and breathe…place your hand across the forehead and the other hand across the back, base of the skull. This adds blood flow to the frontal lobe and the limbic system (Home of Emotions),  and to the back brain…bringing you back into Present Time  whilst calming you down. Headholding and breathing helps all quadrants of the brain  to talk to each other giving you a Whole brain response.

 

 Now BREATHE through your NOSE: In for 4, hold for 2, OUT for 4, hold for 2 and repeat 9 times. The 3rd time you may feel more agitated/upset. The 6th breath you may feel fine. On the 9th breath you activate a deep relaxation response. Notice.

 

Now take a sheet of paper and write down the story about any sadness/ grief/ feelings of loss then any guilty feelings you have.

 

Sadness/ Grief/ Feelings of Loss: Who or what do you most miss in your life now? What parts of yourself do you feel you have lost then saddens you? Keep writing until you have nothing more to write.

 

Guilt:  What was a bad bad thing you did or that someone did to you? It maybe something you have never told anyone, that you have felt ashamed or embarrassed about of all your life.

 

Take the time to write everything you remember from this time and you feelings, and the times since that it has become a problem for you. Write it all down.

 

Then rip it up.

 

Headhold and breathe, in for 4, hold for 2, out for 4, hold for 2. Repeat 9 times.

 

Imagine a celestial vacuum cleaner zooming around you cleaning out your emotional residue –wherever you feel heavy, sick, sad, angry in your body, let the vacuum cleaner clean it up. When it’s gone and you feel lighter DESTROY the vac. Send it to the sun, into a volcano, put it in a vat of acid. Nothing is to remain, it must be completely destroyed.

 

Shake out your arms.

 

Headhold and breathe for 9 reps, swish some water.

 

Imagine a bubble/ force field of energy around your body filled with smog, mud,sludge. Use the vacuum cleaner to clean it up. When you feel the bubble around your body is crystal clear and light, DESTROY the vacuum cleaner.

 

Shake out your arms.

 

Headhold and breathe, swish some water.

 

 

Now begin to imagine what life will be like in 6 months, a year, 2 years, 10 years into the future. How do you walk, talk, hold yourself at this time? What are you doing at this time that is evidence that your life has changed by letting grief and guilt grief go? Write it down, the brain loves detail, so write it all down. The scene, the sense you get (eg.calm, fulfilled, at peace..).

 

Notice where you feel it in your body, breathe into that space in your body. Remember what you focus on grows, so feel that sense growing. Give it a colour- the first that comes to mind. Imagine it, feel it filling that space.

 

Now, give yourself a BIG self hug. Tell yourself 1 thing you are proud of doing today or 1 wonderful quality you love about yourself. Breathe it in.Squeeze, like you REALLY mean it.

 

Your Mission IF You Choose to Accept It Is…. do this exercise once a day for from March 18 to 22 inclusive. Take advantage of the Autumn and the spiritual energy to clean out the old wounds to self heal and create the healthy, loving life you are seeking.

 

 

Be True to you always,
