OCTOBER HAS ARRIVED!
Be gentle with yourself this month
Welcome to October! Featuring eclipse season (and other astro weather that requires us to be gentle with ourselves).
Let’s get right into it… since this newsletter is a few days later than I would’ve liked it to be.
The theme for this month is Release It.
Right now, clearing, endings, shifts, and the intersection of past and present are all coming to the surface, alongside heart expansion, blessings, forgiveness, progress, and miracles.
All of which can be deeply confronting, uncomfortable, confusing, overwhelming, and likely a bit emotional and exhausting.
And yet, there can also be immense joy, hope, renewal, inspiration, and gratitude too.
Yes—different realities can coexist as true in the same moment. It’s a kaleidoscope, not black and white. Neither good nor bad.
Our capacity to hold these contrasting emotions and experiences is directly tied to our ability to be the conscious creators of our own story.
By being aware of our emotions and experiences, we can actively choose how we respond to them and ultimately influence the direction of our lives.
One of the simplest ways to start being more aware and actively choose how you want to respond is by not rushing.
We often rush to avoid what feels uncomfortable or confronting, but by slowing down, we create space for more intentional choices and to fully process what’s surfacing—somatically, emotionally, and psychically—allowing for deeper healing and integration.
Slowing down nourishes your nervous system.
Be here now.
Take deep slow breathes.
Have a nap.
Do one thing at a time.
Give yourself time to do nothing.
Sip your favourite drink slowly.
Disconnect from your phone.
Spend time in nature.
(You see the way I slowed down instead of rushing to get this newsletter out? Very mindful, very demure).
Practice Suggestions for October:
This is a month for cord cutting, calling your power back, and letting go.
You have to create space for newness to reach you.
Cord cutting is the energetic process of releasing attachments, connections, and timelines that no longer serve you, clearing space for your own energy to flow freely again.
It's about reclaiming your power and letting go of any ties that are draining, heavy, pulling on your energy, etc.
