Perhaps you have noticed the first leaves turning color, the light shifting slightly, a hint of chill in the wind. We are at the time of Lammas, or Lughnasadh / Lughnasa in Gaelic. We are halfway between Solstice and Equinox, one of the four “Quarter Cross” Holidays. Officially, it was last week, and so the season is fully upon us. It is early fall; harvest time is here!! It is a quickening - the first hint of the cooler weather coming. We start to prepare, gather, shore up for the winter. We can call this time late summer in Chinese Medicine, the time between the seasons. What can we start to let go - how can we start to prepare? What shifts and transitions need to happen? We don’t need to do it all now. Maybe we begin a little, and tune in to the earth and its cycles. What do the changing times ask of us? Combined with the bigger solar/lunar eclipses this month, amidst the much bigger shift in our entire epoch, the momentum is moving us strongly to fill our own big shoes. Move aside what is not working and stand in who you really are. The very rhythms of earth and sky invite it, support it, even demand it of you right now. 🙏✨

We are at a threshold, a collapse and an opportunity at once. The standard way we are living cannot sustain itself. Changes are happening on many levels and it can feel terrifying when we don’t know what is coming next. The new is emerging as we create it, as we become it. It will be a work in progress the rest of our lives. How do we find what we are supposed to be doing? We get clear. And how do we get clear? There are infinite ways to listen to the center of ourselves. We can feel the gentle heaviness of the low pelvic center resting in gravity and navigating our correct place in spacetime, letting a stillness within constantly direct us. We can clear the meridian pathways for optimal balance. We can restore and maintain access to our natural life force through working directly with the potency in the “liquid light” of the cranial sacral system. Maybe we simply talk and the energetic field presents itself, moving and aligning the light grid into place as your process unfolds. When the pathway continues to clear, our connection to source deepens and what we are supposed to do both on the big level and in more immediate moments becomes more and more clear. And we just keep working at it, looking toward the light and moving toward the center, fine tuning it and figuring out our place and path in the world. Set up a session if it’s the right time for support. 🙏✨

Great day for a session. Grateful for this amazing work. Grateful for all of you who show up to be part of it! ✨🙏

Navigating our current world state involves a regular practice of finding balance. While we can’t heal a nervous system while it is directly under assault from the world around us (or experiencing the unnatural system of disconnection within our communities, including the land), we can find moments that lead us back to our soul. The more we return to a balanced state, the more familiar this pathway becomes. And then the more able we are to reflect it back out and contribute to a higher state of wholeness around us. We might bend, but not as easily break. We develop resilience.

This doesn’t mean we bypass the difficulties of the personal or the collective. But it does mean we become more capable of weathering the storms - which will no doubt quite literally intensify as our warming climate increases extremes. We are warriors in training all the time, and each moment that we catch our breath and find a true sense of stillness, peace, or relief, we become more equipped to move through the situations around us more effectively and with more ease. 💪🏽 We become more capable of connection and joy. And they all feed each other. 🌀

Yes, profound healing happens when the nervous system detects actual safety. And, yes, we will be challenged again and again when we walk back into the world. Yet each return to a state of grace propels us forward more equipped to handle the challenges - and perhaps more capable of finding our own roles in supporting the transformation of our planet and people in this very dynamic time.

We might still get knocked off balance, yet when we practice returning to center again and again, we get better at it, finding and creating more harmony in ourselves and in the world. A new world is truly forming - keep at it! I am so inspired regularly watching people transform, heal, and grow in this little pocket of the world. 🕺

Here to support you all the time! 🙌

Happy Linden Blossoms! ✨

These fragrant beauties are blooming all over town right now, a special tree of fiber and medicine over the ages. If you look closely you will see that some have been modified by the old people before us, bent into shapes of the spirits within them, or you might find cuttings in the bark, now healed over, where the inner cambium was carefully removed early in spring to make cordage.

Prayers from the Quan Yin cove 🙏✨

Rain, sweet rain! 🌧️✨
