We are meeting in the Earth Send all day.
Please take in what remains of the sunlight, beauty and warmth of the season… and store the best within your Island of Self… If you are a fall lover, you’ll have a feast of sounds, emotions, scents, flavours and views very soon.
(I don’t care about the cold, dark months at all; my ideal would be 10 days of fall after the summer heat, then back to the summer heat. Unfortunately, I’m not the maker of the seasons. All I can do is mentally prepare for the next months and do what is in my power to live through them, stay warm and sane.)
Thank you for your patience with my reorganizing, not only in life, with Earth Send, too. I’ve had a half-year, or year, perhaps, full of activity and not enough rest. I signed up for it, with the awareness that it was going to be temporary and for future benefit. It was interesting to notice how my mind missed the mindfulness segments of my day that were part of my usual for a long time; at the same time, it wasn’t so bad to have less opportunity to ruminate but more balance and inspiration from people inside my schedule. A year that has been quite different from many others turned out to be wildly stimulating. I uncovered skills I never knew I had. I have been learning about my health (and will share more about it in the foreseeable future), using our Earth Send questionnaire to move my life forward.
So if you’re so inclined, grade your areas of life with a sincere mark again. Know that this gentle self-inquiry can transform the conditions you live in and your self-image.
Just for today, give yourself the gift of the Inner Smile practice at least once.
The practice of solarizing your water can be done in the cooler months, of course; but the benefit is not quite the same as before the fall Equinox. So indulge in it while you can!
We also train ourselves in Bird’s Eye View and Rooting Into the Earth.. and in setting thrilling intentions for this reiki send, or your upcoming season. These practices can be done outside of this Circle — and you’ll gather why once you do them often.
I champion writing everything down — your gratitude lists, your advisors and confidants/elders and teachers, and your bucket list or your action map — as opposed to keeping it in your head, because the practice of writing with gratitude about everything and everyone you’re genuinely grateful for and about plans that excite you is more than therapeutic: it truly clears the space for many wondrous things to happen that perhaps you’re too shy, too incredulous, too inattentive and too unprepared to want but that are on your life path, if only you claim them. By having a place where you formulate positive impulses and supportive conditions, you foster a way to reach out to what’s in store for you and expand the sense that your own life has been worth living for.
Of course, you can use a variety of mediums to draw up, collage, project your trajectory and have visual or ambiental reminders of what’s good; but as a rule, we begin with pen and paper.
So please bring your creativity tools to session, so we can let reiki flow through them.
We send reiki to our personal healing request lists and to each other.
We send gratitude and love to our planet that feeds, renews and teaches us.
We send light and love to all victims, especially those of human trafficking and genocide, who in the last years appeared disturbingly connected, as the main perpetrators belong to the same class who traumatize human (and in extension, animal and plant) life. We don’t believe in the death cult they put in front of us via screens and other or cultural media, we prefer a vision of coexistence. By sending light to the victims, we turn our focus to repair and away from that strange desire to understand who can’t be understood and instead needs to be stopped… There is more to learn from victims than there is to learn from grandiose serial offenders who have the resources to hide many of their crimes. Society hasn’t made the shift so far, but we can be at the forefront of it.
Thanks go out to everyone who contributes to our lives become more manageable and loving, who is helping love, connection and decency spread on our planet and who reduces harm, pollution and dismal conditions.
May your weekend begin with love and a revelation about what you will do to support the web of life this month. Challenge yourself to use your resources in a joyful, benign, foresightful and proactive way.
Thank you for participating. It’s wonderful to be in this space with you.
