Autmnal Equinox Blessings

Hello Fellow Travelers,

Autumnal Equinox 2015 holds the energy of potential shift. Whether you consciously partake or not, you may very well feel the cracking of a shell around your heart, an opening, a releasing, a death and letting go of something that has served you yet is no longer viable. 

Releasing with awareness and offering up that which is being released or shed is the medicine for you at this time.

This message came through the other day and I wanted to expand upon it for us this week. 

The Autumnal Equinox is a day that marks the end of one season and the beginning of another. It's a time when the plane of the Earth's equator passes the center of the Sun. It is a time of approximately equal proportion of light and dark, a time when the sun cast shadows as vivid as the the shiny bright sparkles of light strewn across a body of water. 

This is a time when you may pause and reflect on the passing of time. The ending of one season of your life and the beginning of another. It is a time of deep and profound change in nature. You are a vital part of the natural cycle of life. Your body, mind, feelings, thoughts, emotions and spirit are triggered into a releasing of sorts. A releasing of the old and a readying for the new. This is a pronounced time of inner and outer change.

As I walked the other day, I stopped to stretch beside a stone wall. I noticed the skin of a snake in between two large rocks. The snake had used the imovable, heavy, earthy rocks to help it shed it's skin. Without this resistance, the snake would not have been able to shed the old tight outer layer. The snake once needed that new skin. The new had become tight, old, restraining, and oppressive. 

This is the way of natural movement, the way we all move from one phase into another, or from one cycle into the next. We need resistance, something that helps us when we have outgrown that which was once sufficient, efficient, necessary and right.

What is the resistance in your life right now? What are the walls you are using to help you shed that which you no longer need? Use the resistance to help you move along the path and release the old restraints. Use the resistance to help you only take with you that which is now necessary and essential.

Trust your own natural process. 

Feel into your life now, look around, and ask yourself, "what feels tight, or oppressive? What am I resisting? What is the resistance inside of me? What thoughts, beleifs or ways of moving through life are tight? What is pushing against me...again."

Again. Again because there have been many season changes in the past, times when you have released the old, prepared for the new, shed, released and stepped with courage into the new and unforeseen future. 

And all was well...better than well...the new skin fit with perfection and ease, it may have taken time to get used to it, to grow into it, but there it was...for you, just for you.

The new skin is appearing, it is emerging, from your heart and soul, pushing out the old with resistance, healthy, needed, resistance.

Use the medicine of resistance, the Earth element and the power of natural change within you to assist you on your journey this week.

And, by the way, the new skin looks great on you! 

Blessings,

Mary
