Autumnal Equinox Elemental Balance
By Mara Clear Spring Cook
We fall into a natural, elemental balance during the seasonal transition of the Autumnal Equinox on September 22 at 1:02 PM Pacific Time. While that may sound charming, it can also be alarming depending upon your willingness to surrender and go deep.
I’M SO OVER ALL THIS SURRENDER STUFF
Then I have some surprising news for you…to surrender is actually a wise course of action! Don’t give up on yourself, but do give up the need to be right, to have everything your way. Give up on the fantasy of “this shouldn’t happen!” It did. Now you can respond!
WHOOP-DE-DOO
Laugh it up! That’s a good idea. Surrendering with laughter is a rather potent choice!
THAT’S SO NOT WHAT I MEANT
Let’s pretend you did. Surrender with laughter to the inevitable death of what bloomed, bore fruit, and is now beginning to wither. Chuckle at your resistance to the apple ripening, the wind chilling, the leaves turning and falling. Seasons change. People change. Life circumstances change.
I DO LIKE THE FALL COLORS…
The Autumnal Equinox marks the day where we are balanced between Light and Dark. It has to do with the angle of the Earth in relationship to the Sun. As we attain this perfect balance of day and night, our Sun enters the sign of the scales, Libra. We focus on balancing relationships. And this year we are also experiencing Elemental Balance.
OOH WHAT’S THAT?
Earth – Fire – Air – Water – Spirit: these Five Elements have been spiking, pulling and colliding all around us, from astrological signs and X-flares to hurricanes, fires and earthquakes.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE IMBALANCE
I knew you would understand! The imbalance causes shift, and the greater the shift, the more intense the energy released. You can pour marbles out of a jar, or you send an avalanche crashing down the side of Mt. Everest.
YIKES!
You said it. These displays of the extremes and the resulting destruction and hardships activate our survival instincts and crack open our hearts.
I FEEL THAT
There’s no avoiding it. The world around us is changing, both slowly and immediately at the same time. Use Elemental Balance to acknowledge and sync up with the change marked by the Autumnal Equinox.
HOW?
Gather items that represent Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.
Place them in a circle around you, then stand up.
Turn to any one of the elements. Ask “How are you showing up in my life right now?”
Breathe. Close your eyes. Listen for the answer.
Turn to the next element. Repeat the process.
Continue through all five elements.
Sink to the floor, facing the element that felt the most supportive.
Ask for that element to help you find balance with the others.
Breathe. Close your eyes. Listen for the answer.
When complete, give thanks.
You may choose to use the five elemental symbols to create an altar to continue working on Elemental Balance within you.
I LIKE THAT
Awesome. That should help you surrender to the process! You can do it as often as you like. The season supports you shifting as needed to attain balance!
Make this a weekend to Roar about!
Namaste,
Mara
I would love to see you! Schedule your session!
