Today has been the first day in a very long time that I have stopped.
Become still and silent.
I must be honest, it’s a bit unnerving!
It would seem that the end of December is one of the only times in the wheel of the year when I allow myself to become truly quiet.
When I was a child, my mother would teach my sisters and I to ‘walk in a sacred way’.
What did this mean?
The answer is not simple.
In fact, it’s one that each one of us must feel into as we move through life on Earth.
Last night I was the Universe.
All of it.
Whole and complete.
Perfect.
Last night I was in ceremony, celebrating life.
All of it.
Even its darkness.
Last night knew myself to be in communion.
With everyone and everything.
All of it.
Now and forever.
Harmony: the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole
This is one of the dictionary definitions of harmony.
The word that jumped out to me was ‘pleasing’.
This week I have been extremely busy with clients before I jump on a plane and head to the US for a few weeks of work. At times, my days have felt chaotic, overwhelming and crazy yet they were in harmony.
Why?
Because they were ‘pleasing’ to me.
Next week is the Autumn Equinox, falling in the sign of Libra on the 22nd Sept.
Equinoxes are times when the day and night are exactly the same lengths, bringing us to an alchemical moment of balance and awareness.
Libra, traditionally shown as a female figure holding scales in her hand, represents harmony and equilibrium in all aspects of life.
So this is a time when we are all invited to consider how we are dealing with seeming polarities in our lives.
