Listening to the subtle messages

༺♥༻

It's been an uncomfortable transition time this fall. Finally settling into something that's feels more aligned. There was a lot of momentum to be up and out in the world, and also an innate drive to begin to turn inward for the darkness and coziness of winter.

Fall is always a favorite time for me  - the sunlight, the weather, the colors, the warm comforting foods, the resting and longer nights. Although I feel and sense these energies of both pushing outward and pulling inward, I have had the tendency in the past to override them to some extent. To not deeply 𝗟 𝗜 𝗦 𝗧 𝗘 𝗡 to the subtle messages that could help me navigate a transition.

This fall, many things I'd planned fell through, leaving me with spaciousness to re-evaluate what it is I am following. The attachments to plans and outcomes, or the internal guidance system of the body and spirit and divine right timing.

What has been needed is 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, and renewal of body-mind-spirit. I've had a lot of mineral baths, long walks, good home cooked food, going to bed early, oil massage, and conversation with good friends...

I've opened a "soft dieta" with tumeric. I've felt this plant working on a cellular level, going deep into the darkness, pulling out old energies and toxins. I've noticed my nervous system relax, showing me how amped up it actually is on a daily basis. With less anxiety, I am sleeping more fully, dropping into feeling 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱. I am more present with myself, open to the moment as it unfolds. Bringing in a gentleness; a more balance approach to life. One of the biggest lessons seems to be that tumeric is teaching me to flow in deeper trust - of myself, life, the great mystery we are all in.

A friend asked me about these dietas last night, and I found myself sharing that working with these plants in this way, brings me into my body, in the present time. Setting up a sacred container, consciously taking the plant into my body, and working with its energy and consciousness, is such a beautiful process for healing, learning about myself, and becoming more embodied and in the moment. Something we could all use at this time of year.

༺ There's still a few spaces left for a soft dieta with 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗭𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗜, that begins November 24. This is a perfect medicine to give to yourself, be supported and totally nourished. Reishi is wonderful for the immune system, mental health and rejuvenating the energy body.
