MONTHLY GEMS

What is in focus this month: 

 

Subconscious patterns

Trauma is real. Your experience with intense emotions and reactions right now may very well be triggered by something on life's surface that has deep roots in the tree of your subconscious. 

 

Science calculates that about 10% of our lives is run by our conscious thought while 90% is run by the subconscious. If you find yourself with persistent triggers that make you feel not enough, too much, overwhelmed, afraid or chronically separated from your own sense of love and belonging the question isn’t “what’s wrong with me?” Instead ask:

 

“What happened to me?” 

 

“What experience(s) is the root of these subconscious pattern(s) playing out in my life?”

 

Your subconscious has many of the answers to situations that plague and mystify you. Quest down into that sacred space to explore the truths waiting there. 

 

Other aspects and threads that may arise:

 

Feelings of being “in a snarl” or "aimless wanderings” around working through subconscious patterns. Finding a way through the snarl of your subconscious by remembering what you truly want. What you value, what is true for you, and letting it be your beacon that lights the way forward.

 

The threads currently present in our collective consciousness are in quite a snarl right now. Remember to have healthy boundaries around your intake of information and what you allow yourself to engage with. To take a step back to pause, regulate and reflect before responding or engaging. This will help you to show up the way you want to, to the things that truly matter to you; in order to be the most effective channel for the collective growth and change you want to be and see in the world.

 

Not all patterns are “bad”. They may no longer serve you, align with your truth or your values. But allowing yourself to get too caught up in negative thought forms or “victim mode” around them will not serve you throughout this process either. If you find yourself doing this, it may be time to take a step back, pause and observe and realign.

Surrender 

During autumn, trees show us how beautiful it is to let go. The cessation of chlorophyll causes the trees to burst into true color as they release their leaves. 

 

Surrender isn’t defeat.

 

It’s the sacred Pause that allows us to use ALL our senses to receive a new vision. Cease all striving. Stop the endless cycles of productivity. Abolish your white knuckled resiliency. Lay your spine along the earth’s solid ground and feel the support waiting for you there. Align your spine along the length of your favorite tree and feel the solidity of bark, the warmth of sap, and the hum of tree song. There are times when effort only creates futility and extends suffering. This is one of them. Something new wants to communicate with you and is awaiting your presence in this moment 

 

Remember the breath- Let its rhythm flow through your life. Breathing in=pause and tune in. Exhale=step forward with aligned actions. 

 

In and out. In and out. The flowing dance of pause and action. Rest and productivity. They will serve you best this month in a sacred rhythm, a dance rather than the endless cycles of “doing”. 

 

Self-care practices:

​

Salt bath: For those achy joints and support of the skeletal system. you can use Epsom salts; do a salt scrub or other bath bomb goodies you have on hand.

​

Hydration!! I cannot stress this one enough this month, I see loads of dehydrated burnt or irritable skin, headaches, and body soreness due to dehydration.

Aloe Vera treatments, sunscreen, drinking water and other hydrating fluids, lotion, creams and hydrating mists are wonderful self-care this month. Feel free to get playful with it as well, you can talk to your water, saying positive affirmations or asking for extra healing and hydration before you drink it.

 

Sun soaking ritual: To support your vital life force energy.

you can begin by walking outside while the sun is shining beautifully or stand in a window. Take a deep breath while visualizing the vital life force energy of the sun flowing into your solar plexus, (located just below your ribs) cleansing and recharging it. then see, sense, know or feel that light spreading throughout your whole body and energy field, balancing and recharging your whole life force energy. when you are finished open your eyes and greet the day with love and gratitude if that feels aligned.  

​

(I feel like this one always comes up but that’s perfectly ok.)

Time in nature: Walks, hikes, forest baths, earthing/grounding, time around water, grass, flowers, time in the garden or dirt.
