It is time to come home. It is time to find your true center. 

 

The 18 days around each solstice & equinox hold the power of transition. The fifth season of earth resonates with trust, harmony and abundance.

 

 

 

Here are a few practices that I encourage my patients to utilize during the earth season to break up discord:

 

Nature works best but a few flights of stairs, a walk around the building or the block interrupts the pattern.

 

What does discord feel like in your body? 

Where does the dissonance settle? Your gut? Your skin? The back of the neck? 

What sensation does it create?

Ache? Sharp? Tingle? Throb? Pressure?

Watch it change. It does. Every single time. Eventually.

 

Spend 5 minutes shaking the body. This is how we warm up for qi gong (internal tai chi). Shake into the muscles, envision golden light. This strengthens our connection to earth and helps move out disease before it somatizes.

 

Harmony can be defined as a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts. As we journey deeper and deeper into our personal healing, we begin to become aware of the parts of ourselves that create discord, dissonance, imbalance. As we come into relationship with these players of personality, we may not like who we meet.  Each one of these facets of ego, helped us survive, cope, overcome, suceed, thrive or compensate.  They may no longer be needed and at risk of unemployment. At that point, this unacknowledged, unappreciated part of ourselves may self-sabatoge.

 

Develop a dialogue with each face of self. Invite this part of self to tea.  Ask its name and what she needs. Ask how she served you.  Thank her. Ask what she fears, enjoys. Get to know these players.  Integration brings harmony.

Disclosure: There are no three magic ways. Or 5 must dos. I grow weary to do lists of how to heal.

The healing is finding your own way. Empowered medicine.
I choose to educate you to the natural and dynamic rhythms of nature. I honor that you know. I am here to meet you on your journey.
