We are Earth. Our body is her body. By attuning to the seasons and honoring the experience of each through our bodies we become whole. Earth is the fullness of late summer; it is also the precious time that marks the transition from one season to the next, when we integrate fully the energies we have experienced, and prepare for what is to come. It is important now to take the time we need to return to balance and to honor this season between seasons. Wellness is living in harmony with Earth.

For me, the elements are intricately linked to the cosmic cycles of the sun and the moon. As the fall equinox approaches, and with it a new moon, I am feeling the pull to turn inward. This is feeling Earth. It is a powerful time to simply be, to honor everything that has been experienced and to allow our body, mind and soul to process and express its way through the breath, movement and rest, to stillness. From there we are born again into Metal.

It is a powerful time to be under the night sky, open to the dark moon and receive insight from deep within for the path of the unfolding heart. With the precious clarity Earth offers, we can then move into Metal with awareness and direction. We will intuitively know what needs cleansing, refining, purifying, and how to support ourselves with this process. Listen to your body, temple of your soul. Then celebrate by letting go of what is no longer needed, honoring the treasures that remain, and bringing in beautiful new visions of your self NOW. Dance your temple into the perfect reflection of the songs of your soul. Co-creating your dreams with those around you supports you in the process of transformation.
