September 2023

Deep healing, an inhale of breath, a time of recovery.

September sees you moving forward and coming closer to those things that serve as a balm in your life—loved ones, your passions, routines, creature comforts, time alone with your body. August left you feeling a little topsy-turvy, maybe even a little battered; September is a slow easing of yourself down, head to pillow, an exhale of calm. 

Past the feeling of being pushed past your limits, there’s the calling back of your boarders and boundaries. Grounding and recalibration are available to you, little by little, step by step. If you’ve been feeling lost and disoriented, swept off track, know that you will be reminded of—put back in touch with—those things that fuel your fire, that ignite the excitement of your soul’s spark. 

You’re on your way, you’ve always been. That which was meant for you? All that is yours to do? You’ll find it. It will find you. You’ll get there, don’t worry. But now is the time to be with yourself. Hone your focus, yes, but allow yourself the time to feel and mend those rooted wounds. Embrace the feeling of suspension and guide your hands to your scar tissue, apply pressure and rub. You can break up even the most calcified of your calluses with affectionate attention. Be with yourself and remember that certain joys and appreciations can only be found on the other side of strife.

You’re getting there, you’ll get there, you’re there.
