October Energy Message
October is about exploring balance, relationship, and boundaries…
Balance
So many of us are grieving, struggling, reaching in the dark for the light, trying with all our might to be gentle with ourselves and our little community, to let joy in, to find a moment of laughter and solace, to feel connected and alive, to take care of ourselves and our loved ones, to move through isolation, fear and stagnancy into the light, to the truth of what our hearts long for and are capable of, into acceptance, love, and healing.
We can accept how hard it has been and laugh, we can experience deep loss and find joy, we can be totally in the dark and trust the direction we are going. We can balance the ups and downs like a seesaw ride with our best friend in elementary school. We can ground, and we can get closer to the light. We can cycle back and forth. We can laugh and share the awe as we plunge into the air, we can feel steady and strong as we ground in and watch others fly.
Relationship
With love face the self, with vulnerability face the other, find we are not so separate.
We reflect our inner experience out to others. Others reflect our energy back to us. We can look to the world around us as a signal. The depth of our relationships, the ease or difficulty in which we move through challenges and contradictions with our loved ones can tell us a lot about how we operate internally. We can change dynamics from the inside out. We can, with patience and presence, change reflections.
We can try to be a just mirror to others by taking personal responsibility, by slowing down and being soft as we take in their experience, by practicing reciprocity through presence, vulnerability and authenticity. When we show up as we are and and share how we’re really doing, with an intention to explore this human experience with others, we can change the future.
Know that your ideas are worth offering, your heart is a gift, your reflection is beautiful.
Boundaries
There is something about the sun in Libra that makes the air a little ethereal, the water glisten a little brighter under the sun, boundaries melt away and we can feel our unity. On the shadow side, I have found myself cleaning up many a mess come Scorpio season because of ways I didn’t listen to my body and heart during Libra season, because I wanted to bend my reflection to catch the light beam of someone else’s shine.
When I think about boundaries I often look outward toward an imaginary wall I create between myself and others, when instead I can look inward and ask—how are the boundaries I show up with out in the world about what's going on inside of me? I plant a seed: starting with a simple intention to observe the boundaries that are created and disintegrated in my inner world, to explore what embodied boundaries that align with my values would feel like, sound like, and look like.
What comes to mind is integrity, which brings ease and well-being in the long run, albeit doing the right thing based on a feeling inside can feel hard. Integrity and boundaries go hand in hand—they are about turning inward and listening, then responding honestly to what is found. What might feel supportive in the process of uncovering needs and meeting them, is steady self-reverence, as we hold the hearts of others in awe. Don’t forget, the land is here too, showing us how to be in our body, as if unmoved by the wind, taking it all in. ∞
Intuitive Art Alchemy
The magical process of creation & transformation—a ritual you can practice on your own at any time.
Exploring relationship with the elements
What does water teach you? How do you hold earth like it has held you for so long? What does the wind whisper? How do you hone your fire and transform?
Choose one (or more if that feels good!) of the questions above that calls to you and free write an answer. Try not to edit yourself and let yourself be surprised by what comes out.
Drop into the present moment, into your body and feel the element/s you’ve chosen to work with alive inside you. Ask to be shown what the relationship with this element looks like, feels like, sounds like…
Using any art materials you like, visually create what this relationship is, what you want it to be, or show gratitude to the element.
Can you make a song or try moving to represent the relationship and gratitude you have for this element? This is your permission to have fun and be playful!
Take a moment to close the Intuitive Art Alchemy ritual by sitting as close to the ground as possible, finding your breath, and visiting your heart space, how does it feel?
