Big Shifts in September

September 29, 2015 By Kat

What a weekend hey? Who rode the huge cosmic wave that whooshed over us the past four days? The whole month of September I’ve felt the energy start to build. It’s been huge.

Reflecting back over the past month I can see how the slow start to September was gifted to me in preparation for this weekend. The first two weeks were all about me, taking care of myself, clearing out, making plans & having my own healing sessions.

Mercury went into retrograde seventeen days in. I felt confident I had done my work during the pre-shadow period carefully observing what was coming up for me. Watching what I say & how I communicate took centre stage. My world became very ‘on a need to know basis.’

This has been very interesting to observe. I was keeping my personal goings on close to my chest, only sharing when necessary to a select few. There are projects & plans I wish to keep sacred, just for now, only for me until the retro is over. Everything is so up for change, another lesson during Mercury, I really wish to let my seeds grow privately.

I could see others doing the same, keeping things close but sharing with a few. This helps builds the strength around a project & gives us all time to get excited too before it goes viral. It’s such a special time in the early stages of a project keeping it sacred, just like a pregnancy. Allowing it time to grown & gather strength.

It’s crazy though when word does get out how quickly it can escalate. That’s the power of Mercury behind communications. It invites us to check in with what we are saying. Are we sharing for the greater good or is it gossip? Stop & think before you speak. Is it your news to share?

The past eleven days have been high speed with plenty of ups & downs. My physical body was definitely going through some shifts energetically that were showing up in aching muscles, mood swings, poor food choices & disrupted sleep.

In my yoga practice I was just miserable as I literally dragged myself through each posture. Every muscle hurt, my lungs felt like they couldn’t take in enough air & it felt like a black cloud was raining down on me. It was all good though. I didn’t attach to what was happening I accepted the physical challenges were doing what they were supposed to. Shifting & clearing.

The pace certainly picked up again after Equinox on Wednesday 23^rd September. Meditating out in the garden under a beautiful blue sky was divine. It was the perfect time to conduct a sacred ceremony to see in the new cycle. Cleansing my house with Illuminator incense from Resonant Aromatics, giving myself an oracle card reading & of course playing my crystal-singing bowl.

I found myself out & about in many social situations following Equinox & it was tapping me out. My focus was all over the place, jumping from one conversation to the next, feeling jittery on par with a coffee overload. Was I getting ADHA?! Time to pull back & slow it down. These were signs I needed to be in my own space. My body was already reacting stepping in to help pull me up with digestive issues, migraine symptoms & lethargy. I changed my weekend plans to reduce overload & some well needed universal assistance presented just at the right time to help further. Thank you xx

Time to rest.

With two full days away from my yoga teaching duties I was able to be at home putting my focus into areas I have been neglecting.

Bringing back the balance.

The juicer was dusted down & put to work. What I needed most is good nutrition to help ease the digestive up sets & shift through what needs to be cleared. I find juicing an easy way to get what I need in me quickly.

My water intake has been crazy. I can’t get enough magnesium-salted water at the moment. The more I drink the better I start to feel, again a great energetic flushing tool as well as a physical one. Listening to my body & giving it what it is asking for is working.

Getting some major meditation in was top priority too. Stillness to connect & feel into what is going on was required. On Friday & Saturday I let my Sadhana slip right when I needed it the most.

Not pushing too hard is something I struggle with. Especially the sacred days I have all day at home to focus on writing & creating. Acknowledging when I need to rest is important. If the couch is calling then I need to honour that & I have been. There’s no point plugging away on a creative project when really I should be resting up. Gathering strength & focus so I’m pumped up & back on form. (I watched ‘Indecent Proposal’ on Saturday what a classic old movie!)

Taking time out for a day is serving me well. With the Super Full Moon & total Solar Eclipse it’s been the best time for stepping out of the mainstream. Writing this on Monday afternoon I’m feeling so much better. I’m out the other side of my big shift focused & on form. The recent planetary activity & solar flares are giving me energy now I have cared for myself.

How have you been feeling over the past week or so?

Did you honour the Equinox, Full Moon & Solar Eclipse in a special way?

I’d love to hear how you’ve been getting on. Drop me a message in the comments below if you wish to share.

Changes

May 27, 2013 By Kat

This post has been brewing for a few weeks now. Today is the day I am sitting down to write it. As I cranked up Word the Davie Bowie song ‘Changes’ popped into my head. Love these messages from the universe. Instantly I hit up You Tube and had a listen before I got started.

May has been a massive month for me. Changes are for sure happening on all levels. I’ve had massive clear out’s & clean up’s in my physical spaces. I had a pull to get everything in order that I have been putting off. Huge pushes from the universe have guided me to really get my act together and pave the way for new beginnings to start. Action is needed right now, no more procrastinating.

The theme of the month has been centered on self-worth. Number one I had to actually recognise my self-worth & embrace my natural talents. I’ve been cruising along on autopilot in my day job. I’ve been feeling a lack of fulfillment & a twinge of boredom. I questioned whether I was in the right place for the person I am today. Did I need a new challenge? Was it time to go looking for a new opportunity? I am too comfortable I need to be uncomfortable.

My push came when a new opportunity did arise but I needed to get all my work together from the past three years in order to seize it. Once I did this and took a long hard look at what I’d achieved in this time I was astounded. I’ve done some great work. There was even too much to choose from, which should I select? It made me really value what I have here & own my self-worth. Yes we’re in a slow period right now. Down time gives me the chance to do some of my own work, my true Soul based projects. Instead of getting ‘bored’ & ‘frustrated’ I simply need to search else where for a challenge.

Nothing came of this opportunity in terms of the predicted end result. I did get the result ‘I’ needed. It was ‘process’ I had to go through to learn my lesson. The beauty of working with the universe is you never can predict what the end result will be, often there is no end result it is the process that counts.

My car was well over due a service by nearly a year. I’d asked my guides when I should get this done & I got a firm ‘Thursday’ back so as instructed I booked it in.

Good job I listened as I needed new rear breaks and a lot of other work which could have been spread out over two services. As I’d waited so long to get it looked at, it all needed doing at once, massive expense. My car is vital to my every day life & I should keep on top of its up keep. I won’t wait as long next time as more importantly for safeties sake.

At home I’ve felt a push to get my healing room sorted out. The room I dedicated to a treatment space had multi functions. This month I felt the need to make it simply a single purpose area. I’m nearly at the stage to start marketing my Reiki work to a wider audience therefore I need to have a professional setting to conduct sessions.

I cleared out the random bits and pieces that had accumulated in the room because they had no-where else to live. Most of this went in the recycling or in the bin, as it was just accumulated crap. I hung my certificates and some new artwork on the walls. A successful trip to Ikea for soft furnishings, a rug, curtains, a throw, coasters, a water jug and glasses finished it off. Since I made the decision to leave my table out all the time my bookings have been non-stop. I have clients scheduled every weekend now. All I needed to do was make the space & literally “build it & they will come,” they sure did!

My confidence and again self-worth has accelerated with regular hands on practice. This period between powerful eclipses has really helped me to get on track with how I should be using my natural talents. I’ve found when I’m using my talents to assist others it never feels like I’m working. Leading with love is effortless & so rewarding.

Everything I have put into motion during May will come into full bloom in around November. It will be again an unknown, exciting action packed period as I step into my power, own my own worth & see where it takes me.

What changes have you gone through this month? Feel free to share in the comments below.

Full Moon Cleansing

February 25, 2013 By Kat

It’s that time of the month again. Before all the men run for the hills I don’t mean the ‘girly’ kind of monthly cycle, I mean it’s Full Moon!! This can be an awesome time, full of super charged energy. I mentioned in the hydration post last week about our bodies being made up of water. The moon affects the oceans and tides so it is natural that the moon will have some sort of energy connection to the human body too.

I personally can react to the moon in different ways. Some months I’m buzzing, literally bouncing off the ceilings. Others I’m flat, tired and scattered. Exciting hey, you’re in for a new treat every month. With Mercury having gone into Retrograde on the 23^rd there’s lots of planetary influences about right now.

It’s a great time to cleanse you crystals too. There are many ways to clean & cleanse your crystals. I like to use the Full Moon. Crystals absorb any kind of energy & just like us that energy gets trapped inside. That is why it’s a good idea to give them an energizing cleanse at least once a month. Cleansing them will release any stored up negative energy, whilst amplifying the positive energy. If you are using your crystals for healing work and meditation cleansing is a must. Also if other people have touched your crystals (I don’t let people handle my ‘special’ crystals ever) it’s a good idea to give them a clean.

Some people like to use the day before or the day after the actual full moon to cleanse. It’s up to you. I collect mine up the morning after, as I don’t like to leave my crystals out in the full summer sun as this can fade their colours.

Here’s what I do for a Full Moon crystal cleanse. Depending on which crystals I have been using I either select a few or put all of them out. I place a soft cloth in a sturdy container, like a ceramic dish, and place the crystals inside. You can use anything you have or simply place them directly on the ground. Place your crystals where they will be drenched in the moon’s light, so not under a veranda or shade cloth. I have a Buddha statue out the front of my house and I place my dish of crystals in front of him with an affirmation to assist in the cleansing process & to watch over them safely.

After my crystals have been super charged with moon energy they literally sparkle. It’s like they’ve just returned from a wonderful spa retreat, all refreshed and ready for action. I can notice the difference when I hold them in my hand, they feeling ‘charged.’

Give your crystals a treat tonight & put them out for a charge up. To find out when full moon occurs in your part of the world check out this link: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/moonphases.html

Love, light & happy full mooning,

Seren xx
