Spring equinox (March)-new things are born. Winter solstice (December)-the natural world slows down. These are times of the year that mark a shift in the earth’s energy, each with its own rhythm.
I found that all three of these traditions had a common practice and philosophy-which always makes me think, There is superpower here! They all had rituals and practices that centered around four specific times during the year, which I have come to call the “feminine superpower days”: the winter solstice, spring equinox, summer solstice, and fall equinox. When you attune your body, mind, and spirit to the natural cycles of the earth, you harmonize automatically, and your work, health, wealth, relationships, and life become more sustainable, supportive, and successful. Here’s my modern translation of the ancient wisdom:
#FALL EQUINOX HOW TO#
This led me to experiment with how to apply this ancient wisdom in practical ways in my daily life-in how I run my business, make my choices, and balance giving to others and taking care of myself. It’s as if the earth is moving one direction, changing speeds in a well-patterned synchronicity, while we keep running harder and faster at a pace we call “normal” but is anything but natural. We count time passing and set goals on calendars constructed by man, rather than instructed by nature. We are more attuned to the speed of the Internet than to the steadiness of the trees. We are physical matter just like the earth. This made all the sense in the world to me. To be in harmony, physically and spiritually, one must be in harmony with both the natural (physical) and spiritual worlds. One of the main reasons we feel so out of balance is because we are out of sync with the natural rhythms of the earth. I found a common answer in the ancient wisdom of the yogic, divine feminine, and earth-based traditions I was steeped in:
How do you do what you love, take care of what you love, achieve success, and have an impact in the world in a way that includes, instead of sacrifices, your personal health and happiness? So I “asked” these ancient sages a question: I knew if I didn’t find a different way, I was going to deplete my most vital resource-me. The increase in speed and quantity has risen exponentially, and it’s not slowing down.Ībout a decade ago, after climbing the corporate ladder to live my passion of teaching self-love and feminine power, I realized that the pace at which I was operating was unsustainable. Think about the amount of information you process or number of things you do in a day, compared to what people did just 20 years ago. The ancient sages predicted that, in these times, we would face levels of intensity that our “internal operating systems” were not prepared for. But, even when we consistently meditate or do our yoga practice, taking care of ourselves amidst the demands of daily life is challenging. These are all things we crave in our fast-paced world.
