Portal to Wholeness at Autumn Equinox

The Invitation to Rest through the Celtic Wheel is to trust what resonates with you and find your own way as you honour your own cycles of transformation through the practice of deep rest. Yoga Nidra is a practice where the EGO is fast asleep and the SOUL is wide awake, as our teacher Tracee Stanley reminds us.  The wisdom we experience as we rest through the cycles of the wheel invite us to live aligned and in rhythm with the natural world. A cyclical journey where wisdom is revealed with each spiral as we connect with the intelligence of the land we live on and embrace the cosmic intelligence above.  The wheel turns with certainty each year, as we now move through the final weeks of Lughnasadh with the Autumn Equinox. This is the final cycle before we start all over again at Samhain.

The archeoastronomical day this year is Monday 22nd September, just after the partial Solar New Moon Eclipse. Eclipses happen when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun’s light from our view. What is usually invisible (the New Moon) becomes visible and the Sun that usually outshines the Moon will become invisible. This is a reversal of roles and energies. Eclipses are an opportunity to pause, to recalibrate, and to suspend the normal way of doing things. What is usually seen becomes hidden; what is hidden becomes seen. This is the energy of working with opposites that offer a portal to wholeness. Similar to Autumn Equinox energy where we have equal day and night, balance between masculine and feminine energy, the yin the yang and the light and the shadow. Can we shed light on what is in shadow? Can we witness what has been invisible and make it visible? This is an invitation to embrace both and energies of opposites as we journey through the last few weeks of Samos (the masculine half of the year). This is the wisdom we can embody as we enter the portal to wholeness and slow down and pause at the threshold. This is an opportunity to have reverence for everything in our life as we find graceful ways to move back and forth between masculine and feminine qualities, ways that allow the opposites to co-exist and complement each other. A reminder that we cannot know the light without the dark. We cannot exist by just going, doing, thriving. We need to bring balance to going by stopping, to doing by being and to thriving by resting.

A word to describe this Autumn Equinox energy is Solustrance - the moment when the world is bathed in a soft, amber glow, the leaves on the trees, the surface of the water even the air itself appears to be touched by this magical radiance.

A reminder that Trees become their strongest in the Autumn this is because they have finished bearing fruit and producing leaves now all of their energy is being pushed down into the roots. Can you embrace this wisdom for the Autumn Equinox? Preserve the energy from Samos to resource you through Giamos. Connect with the earth and ground into her endless wisdom with each turning of the wheel as we complete this cycle and the portal to wholeness with the Autumn Equinox.

Connecting to the Chakras through Nature

Connecting with the chakras through nature is a powerful way to restore balance and harmony in your life. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. When our Chakras are aligned they are turning and keeping our energy field balanced. When they are stuck due to stress, trauma, or life factors our energy field is out of balance. By aligning our Chakras, we can ensure that our energy flows smoothly and supports our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Here is a guide to understanding and connecting with each chakra through nature as well as some connecting practices to help you balance each chakra.
