Well friends, here we are in the middle of the eclipse portal.
Our recent full moon was a full lunar eclipse, and we have a solar eclipse on September 21st — the same day as our Autumn Equinox Event.
If you’re feeling a little uneasy right now, or just downright not okay, you’re not alone, and it’s normal.
Eclipse portals are periods of energetic resets — in our own systems as well as in society and the world at large, so first of all, you’re not alone in your feelings right now, and second, other people around you are in it too. This can make for some really challenging interpersonal circumstances as we all navigate our own sh*t alongside one another, often triggering each other along the way. But hey, some things just can’t be healed without our loved ones triggering them to the surface, am I right?
This energy is asking us to drop the reigns.
To notice what is arising within us, asking to be felt, seen, held, maybe integrated or released. It is asking us to do what we need to do to keep ourselves well, without trying to control the people and circumstances around us. Boundaries are less about what we expect other people to do, and more about what we will do in any given situation — including when ours are crossed.
So my points of reflection for you during this energetic portal are these:
Where are you trying to control what is happening outside of you, rather than regulating your inner climate instead?
What can you act on in a new way that honors your boundaries, while dropping the reigns and letting the pieces fall where they may?
Where can you deepen into your inner practice of surrender, just a little further?
What can you let go of today?
P.S. if you’re really in it right now, I hope to see you at the Autumn Equinox event I’m hosting on Sept. 21st — coincidentally the day of the New Moon and the next eclipse. Talk about a big energy overlap! And of course, if you’re moving through this energy deeply in flow and completely unphased, we’d love to see you there as well.
