Autumn Equinox 2018

Greetings Star Trippers!

Tomorrow is the Autumn Equinox where night and day are of equal length and we can look back and be thankful for all of the bessings of the Spring and Summer. This is also a time where we should look forward to preparations for the cool dark seasons that are approaching. I always like to look back to the Spring and think about what seeds I planted and which of those flourshed and which fell to the wayside. Take stock of what you have already accomplished and set intentions for what you want to accomplish in the last third of the year.

During this time focus on gratitude for the harvest of all of the good things in life you have experienced this year and then focus on staying present in the now during this season where it feels like you can blink and it’s Halloween, then you blink and it’s Thanksgiving, then blink again and it’s fastforward through the holidays straight to 2019! I think a great way to practice gratitude is in service of others. No matter how bad things get in our own lives there is always someone who is in even greater need and being of service shows us how to be grateful for even the small things in our own lives. How can you give back to those in need in your own community before we arrive at the Winter Solstice?

Crystals to assist you with meditating on gratitude are clear quartz and amethyst.

Essential oils you can diffuse during your meditation are tea-tree, geranium, rose and fennel.
