Self-Care for the Season
Women are living in unprecedented times and now is definitely the time to get serious about taking care of our selves. There is a lot of work ahead for us as we discover what unique gifts we will offer to the transformation of our times.
When we allow ourselves to live within the rhythms of the moon and the rhythms of the seasons we come to understand there IS time for everything if you pay attention.
Paying attention means talking less and listening more.
Paying attention means allowing.
Allowing the earth’s rhythms to lead you.
Paying attention requires focus on ways which can lead you inward.
Paying attention and focusing on your natural environment will organically lead you inward.

☽ 🍁SELF-CARE GUIDANCE, SEASONAL
🍁 Samhain: end of Autumn (through December 21)
🍁 Slowing down
🍁 Final letting go before the deep descent of winter
🍁 Moving into deep rest (not necessarily sleep) and reflection
If you find yourself interested in and reading about self-care and posting memes about self-care yet still don’t have a space of your own to nestle into for winter where you can be completely alone and undistracted, you are most likely intellectualizing self-care without really practicing it fully. Your only job now through December 3, if this is you, is to create your sacred space. That’s the only task you need to put on your self-care calendar. No more waiting on this piece. Women absolutely *need* this.
If you already have your sacred space and time to use it, practice gratitude for your privilege and wisdom in creating it.

Now is the time to ask:
How might I build more quiet time into my week?
What are some of my dysfunctional ways of being? What are my patterns?
What needs to be left behind?
What do I need to practice saying "No" to?

If you would like guidance using earth-based spirituality, I would love to open that conversation with you.
