47: Alignment for the Autumn Equinox

00:00:00: Hello and a very warm welcome to new episode of the Bayonne podcast.

00:00:05: Today I want you into slightly different kind of podcast episodes, I wanna take you in an alignment because we are moving toward a special point on the cycle for this year The autumn equinox!

00:00:21: The moment when light and darkness meet each other For brief moments.

00:00:27: day & night stand in full balance.

00:00:31: And from here the movement of nature begins to change, The days grow shorter ,the energy slowly begin to draw inward.

00:00:40: Nature starts gathering what has grown throughout spring and summer .And I feel there is such a beautiful invitation for us within this because autumn asks us different questions than summer does.

00:00:53: The energy of summer asks, how deeply can you surrender to life?

00:00:59: How much can you open.

00:01:01: How much light can your receive?

00:01:04: Autumn asks what do want carry forward from all this?

00:01:09: What has truly grown and what is ripe And what's ready fall away now?

00:01:17: So perhaps today listen a little less with the mind.

00:01:23: Let it move through your body.

00:01:26: If you have the possibility right now, close your eyes for a moment and come back to yourself.

00:01:33: Take deep breath in And slowly breathe out.

00:01:44: Do it once more.

00:01:47: Feel your breath This movement of receiving and giving back Breathing In and breathing

00:01:57: Out.

00:01:58: The rhythm of life already lives within this Receiving releasing.

00:02:05: And perhaps this is the first reminder that equinox brings us, all of life moves in cycles.

00:02:13: there are seasons of growth and they're a season's off gathering.

00:02:19: There are moments when you move outward into the world and eventually Life causes closer to ourselves again for just a moment.

00:02:29: feel I am here Feel your presence Feel them now.

00:02:36: I am here in this

00:02:38: body,

00:02:39: In this moment and then bring your attention to your feet.

00:02:46: Feel the ground beneath you.

00:02:49: Imagine

00:02:50: roots beginning

00:02:52: to grow And they move slower beneath You.

00:03:06: Until they reach a dark moist soil.

00:03:11: Perhaps you can see this earth in your mind rich?

00:03:18: As your roots sink deeper notice This darkness is filled with growth that does not need constant sunlight in order be alive.

00:03:37: And perhaps this is your second reminder today.

00:03:40: Darkness does not mean the absence of life, carries Life.

00:03:47: it nourishes It.

00:03:50: and as the light outside slowly begins to fade Allow yourself to remember that you own power Does Not Disappear with That.

00:03:59: Perhaps it Is Simply Changing Direction.

00:04:03: Now Try To Pull The Energy Of The Earth Through Your Roads Into You Body.

00:04:10: Feel As It Is Rising through Your Road into your whole body through your feet,

00:04:17: legs

00:04:18: and deep energy.

00:04:23: And allow it to spread throughout the entire... carries you through, carries you when something airs you through space!

00:04:42: Perhaps today you can stop trying to understand every transition immediately.

00:04:48: You are allowed simply be within it.

00:04:52: Now bring attention to the crowd.

00:04:55: Imagine how you open up flowing in from above.

00:05:10: It appears silver to you perhaps whiteish.

00:05:14: Let it move through your head and into you.

00:05:23: Now simply notice these two footing, and melt.

00:05:34: on the day of the equinox nature shows us exactly

00:05:42: this balance.

00:05:44: And let there be The next reminder.

00:05:52: Maybe You need that right now?

00:06:14: to have a play and breathe

00:06:17: that

00:06:27: already sits lower in

00:06:28: the sky.

00:06:29: The light is gone, perhaps you're walking along a

00:07:23: life today that was not there at the beginning of this

00:07:25: year.

00:07:27: Which decision changed something?

00:07:30: Where have you become braver, what have created it?

00:07:34: perhaps something has grown that already take for granted Today.

00:07:38: are allowed to see again because harvest also means acknowledge in what is coming into being.

00:07:46: Feel into that moment.

00:07:48: What would your like to

00:07:49: honor?

00:07:51: Perhaps an image appears A person and experience whatever it is, let it be there.

00:07:59: And say inwardly this is my harvest and perhaps alongside all of these There's something that received a lot of your energy throughout the summer and has now reached completion.

00:08:13: That belongs to autumn too.

00:08:16: A tree does not hold onto its leaves simply because they were once beautiful green.

00:08:22: When their time is complete It lets them fall naturally.

00:08:27: So Perhaps you would like to ask yourself a second

00:08:30: question

00:08:31: Which is, what has fulfilled its cycle in my life?

00:08:39: Maybe an idea.

00:08:40: An expectation A role you have been playing?

00:08:44: Feel whether your body already knows who this is about And imagine that You do not force yourself to let it go simply Like a leaf, eventually releasing itself from the branch.

00:09:00: It's time

00:09:01: as being fulfilled and now space is created.

00:09:05: So autumn reminds us that emptiness part of abundance.

00:09:10: Nature becomes more bare and still nothing is missing.

00:09:15: Nature trusts a rhythm, nature already knows the spring will return And perhaps you can learn to trust transitions more deeply too.

00:09:25: when things become quieter When you feel less drawn

00:09:29: toward

00:09:31: notice your energy changing Perhaps You have not lost Your way?

00:09:36: Perhaps Your life Is simply calling you!

00:09:41: This is where I would like To invite you into A small practice.

00:09:45: So close your eyes again Breathe in and out.

00:09:51: And imagine three inner rooms, let them appear... ...and you enter the first room!

00:10:08: And then this first room lies your

00:10:14: Harvard.

00:10:16: Everything you want to acknowledge on this room.

00:10:29: what is there?

00:10:31: Ask yourself What have I created that i haven't fully honored yet?

00:10:39: Allow things to rise, receive it.

00:10:45: open your heart.

00:10:55: so let yourself fill up with your harvest and then leave that room again, enter the second room.

00:11:06: And in this second room lies everything that is complete.

00:11:13: Step IN!

00:11:14: Look around...and ask yourself what's allowed to be finished

00:11:22: now?

00:11:24: What is

00:11:25: COMPLETE?!

00:11:33: And feel how much energy becomes available when you stop carrying something whose time has already passed.

00:11:45: And LEAVE THAT DRAWM!

00:11:48: And ENTER THE THIRD ROOM!

00:11:51: STEP IN!

00:11:53: LOOK AROUND!

00:11:55: AND YOU SEE THIS ROOM is empty.

00:12:00: It's not empty in the sense of there's nothing there, but it's space!

00:12:34: And sometimes this is exactly how something new begins.

00:12:41: So, perhaps around the autumn equinox you would like to consciously create a small moment for yourself.

00:12:49: Go out into nature Maybe collect beautiful leaves Perhaps a chestnut Something that carries energy of transition and then let it become an anchor For weeks ahead Whenever.

00:13:04: see remember I do not have to be constantly growing outward in order to live.

00:13:11: Some things are growing inward right now, and very often that is where the deepest transformation takes place.

00:13:22: So take one more deep breath.

00:13:25: Feel the earth beneath you feel space above you And then feel yourself In between You as a connection as part of this greater rhythm.

00:13:40: So perhaps these three questions are your takeaway from today's episode?

00:13:47: What is my harvest, what is complete and what wants to ripen within me now... And carry this question with you over the next few days!

00:13:58: And then observe allow yourself be surprised.

00:14:03: I wish a beautiful autumn equinox A season filled with golden moments A time in which you can truly see your own harvest, and a time when you reconnect even more deeply with your own rhythm.

00:14:18: Perhaps go outside today, stand on the earth for a moment, breathe... And remember I am part of this!

00:14:26: I'm part of these eternal becoming….

00:14:28: I'm also part of those harvesting …and I'm partly returning….

00:14:34: And I'm allowed to trust my own cycle.

00:14:38: With all my love yours Michelle.
