The mornings and evenings are starting to become c

The mornings and evenings are starting to become cooler here in the Northern hemisphere and with it the Earth element is guiding us back to our centres.

The Earth element governs the transition of each season into the next, however the time between summer (Fire) and autumn (Metal), known as late summer in Chinese Medicine allows Earth to take a little extra time to help prepare us for the journey inward to convene with our soul a little more deeply.

To both celebrate all of the fruits of our labour that are ready to be harvested, and also set intentions to support transformation and the evolution of our becoming during the next growing cycle.

To do this, Earth invites us to renegotiate our centre, calling us to be in integrity with our soul and present to the here and now before we journey onward. You can't set out in a new direction without first taking stock of where you are at this very moment.

Often its the subtlest of shifts that need to occur that will create dramatic change that supports us to thrive and manifest our desires out in the world. One of those shifts is to reorient ourselves to be the centre of our own lives.

Seems obvious, and yet, after all of the years that I have worked in the healing realms, I can tell you it's not the norm. To put everyone else's needs, physically, mentally and emotionally first is our general mode of operating. To put oneself first, seems contradictory when we speak of the Earth element, that exemplifies the great mother archetype, except when we do this, we're actually speaking of the wounded mother and an imbalanced Earth.

The Earth element when in balance, is able to tend to ones needs and also have the capacity to care for everyone else, so pulling back is not about withholding love and attention to those that we love, but instead recalibrating us to do it with integrity.

Where you also bestow that same love and affections onto yourself.

When stress or uncertainty enter my life the first

When stress or uncertainty enter my life the first thing that leaves my awareness is the one thing that would anchor me and bring me back to centre and present to my experience.

Movement.

Not movement in the form of training and creating change in the physicality of my body (separate conversation there) but in the way that it brings me home.

The somatic experience of being able to be present in my skin amidst the chaos occurring in my outer world that has the power to call me back to my brilliance.

Of course part of the aversion is because of fear that I will further injure my broken wing that’s awaiting surgery. BUT….

Truly it’s because in that moment I would rather choose feeling lost or a victim of circumstances.

I’m human and appearing to live without choice is appealing at times. We all do this in some form or another in one particular are of our lives. Mine naturally encompasses themes related to the Earth element.

And yet the comfort of my disillusion can only last for so long and inquiry and action are necessary.

How does my body want to move or express itself?

The swaying my hips, small circling of my limbs, shaking to release the armour of my own making. The simplicity of honouring my body and what it needs, moving how it wishes to lover over how I think it should is what brings everything back into order and then I can see may way through.

You’re turn…how does your body want to move? Leave it in the comments. 💗

How is your inner Fire asking to be recognized?

How is your inner Fire asking to be recognized?

Life has a way of dulling our Fire. Regardless of how the Elements themselves are manifested within you. I see it in all of my clients that Fire is the first to hold back to make way for everything getting taken care of.

Kids, job, house, marriage, and on and on and on.

It’s no surprise that we lose ourselves in all of things and forget to check in with our heart and feel into that spark, that want for adventure, spontaneity, romance.

“No thanks I’m tired and would rather be left alone.”

Except not really.

It’s just all of that feels like a lot on top of everything that you have going on. Maybe It feels self-indulgent and maybe irresponsible.

But what if it didn’t have to be one more thing? What if you could engage your inner fire while you hold everything that’s important to you and can actually thrive.

It’s totally possible. It’s starts with a question. Say it, write it. You do you!

What would feel fun for me to explore today?

It can be just for you, or you can include people. It can take 5 minutes or the whole day. It’s your hearts answer.

No need to overthink it. Let the answer bubble up as you feel your chest expands. (That’s how you know it’s your heart speaking and not just a bunch of shoulda from your brain) and then put it in motion.
