For those of you living under a rock (me all like last year) this week kicked off the Harvest Moon. I was going through it and the change in the temps as well as mood in the air slapped me awake. I spend the last few weeks slowing down, saying no to everything that didnāt excite or inspire me. I booked a 6 week pottery class to force myself to create a routine with creativity involved. I have not lived this slowly since I was forced to last year.
As some of you have been seeing in recent posts Iāve become enthralled by night bloomers, and creating the start of a moon gardenā¦ focused on bloomers that come alive in the evening I became connected to these flowers blooming against the norm.
There is a peace that is only achieved through growth in the dark, by yourself, when no one else is there to experience it ā¦. and that has become extremely special to me.
āHarvest moon tonight!ā was a text I received that grounded me. I had spent the last week allowing myself to stay in non ideal mindsets for too long. It became too easy to let the interject and negativity fester in my head. Itās safe to say that I snapped the F out of itā¦. I had 3 very eye opening experiences that occurred all at once. Per usual I allowed myself to be taken by the spiralā¦. going down the drain as fast as I could, but when that evening came and I stared into the moon, sitting in my garden I became grounded in that this feeling was all too normal. I ended up doing some very real self reflection, and had one of the most amazing guided meditations I had ever experienced. I allowed myself to feel freely and openly and was rejuvenated.
I spent the next days understanding where I went wrong in the last weeks, and how I would get myself back on track and come back to my authentic self. This was powerful. I vowed to continue slowing down, doing less things so I could focus on the more important parts of life. 11:11
Itās time to slow down, harvest and enjoy what youāve sowed. Iāve also spent some time collecting seeds that I can share and plant later on. Iām letting go of stale and stagnant energy, ideas and allowing gratitude and abundance to enter. I hope you do also.
