This.
Is the power.
Let's go ahead and sow a powerful seed of intention on this auspicious day.
Of the equinox.
Where there's a balance of light.
Out in the sky.
Let's bring that within.
Into ourselves.
Well-being.
If you haven't already done so,
I invite you to go ahead and downshift your gaze or close your eyes.
As we dive.
Into sowing a seed.
The hot space.
Of the balance of equal light.
Beautiful equinox.
I'm going to start with A quote from one of the most ancient scriptures on the planet,
The Upanishads.
That is whole.
This is whole.
From wholeness Wholeness comes forth.
Take wholeness from wholeness.
And wholeness still remains.
Sit with that for a moment.
Today.
The Earth stands in perfect balance.
Equal light.
And equal dark.
And the very instant that balance is achieved.
At that very instance it begins to tip.
The Equinox.
Is not a resting place.
It is a doorway.
Doorway through which you are walking through today.
So dear ones,
Let your.
.
.
Arms arrest.
Wherever they fall.
You could be doing this practice seated.
Or lying down.
Let the face go quiet.
Let your jaw remember it does not have to hold anything.
Somewhere above you.
The sun is standing brightly.
Over the equator.
Not leaning north.
Not leaning south.
Simply.
There.
And the whole earth.
The oceans,
Every city.
Every sleeping child.
Is being held.
In exactly the same amount of light.
This is that one day.
The light.
Does not play favorites.
Let that land in you.
This is the time.
Be focused on what's inside.
And you will notice that there's a season inside you.
That is arising.
And there is also a season inside you.
That is settling.
Both are true at this moment.
Both are happening right now.
The same body.
In the same breath.
In the same Quiet.
Chest.
Something in your life is coming into bloom.
And you may not have named it yet.
And something in your life is finishing.
And you may not have grieved it yet.
We spend so much of our living trying to make the light stay.
Chasing the long days.
We build our happiness out of a season that is expanding.
And then we get startled.
Every single year.
And when the darkness comes back.
That darkness is not the opposite of light.
Dear one,
The darkness is where the light goes.
To be renewed.
Just like.
The seed.
No seed ever germinated in daylight.
Every tree that you ever loved.
Begin in total darkness.
Unwitnessed.
Underground.
With no proof that anything was happening at all.
So I ask you.
What in your life is currently underground?
You don't have to answer aloud,
Just let the question sit in you.
I want you to feel the center of your chest.
There is a place in you that is not arising.
Nor the settling.
It does not get brighter when things go well.
Nor does it go dim.
When things fall apart.
The spark has been there through every season that you've ever survived.
Was there when you were seven years old,
Lying on the grass.
And the world was enormous.
It was there in the worst year of your life.
The one that you do not want to talk about.
It is here now.
This is.
A still point.
Not balance as an achievement.
But balances homecoming.
This is not something you have to build.
You only have to stop moving long enough.
So you can notice that it was always here.
Never gone.
And here's the deepest secret the equinox is trying to tell you.
Wholeness is not emptiness.
50 50 of light and dark.
Wholeness.
It's the container.
That holds both.
Without reference.
You are not the light.
You are not the shadow.
You are the sky in which both our weather.
So I want you to stay there.
I am going to speak some affirmations which I want them to move through you.
Silently.
I am whole in both my light and my darkness.
Neither one is a mistake.
I release the need to hold the season still.
Water's rising will rise.
What a settling will set.
I remain.
At my center.
Is the stillness.
No season can disturb.
I'd return to it.
Again and again.
As easily as breathing.
I want you to.
Feel.
The space around you.
Feel.
The weight of your body.
On whatever it is that you're resting on.
Feel the temperature of the air.
On your skin.
Do you hear any sounds at the edges?
Before we end this practice,
I want to seed.
You're a week ahead of you with a question.
For you to solve it right away.
But at it.
Follow you through.
This next half of the year.
And that question is,
Where in my life?
Am I calling something imbalance?
That is actually just a season.
I have not yet learned to love.
Where in my life?
Am I calling something imbalance?
That is actually just a season.
I have not yet learned to love.
Now would you please bring your palms together and pray position at your heart center as we bring this practice to a close.
Gently tucking your chin towards the heart space in a posture of gratitude.
For what we have received.
I want you to go ahead and rub your palms with each other.
Palms are an energy vortex and as you rub your palms you activate the chi,
The prana,
The life force.
And when you feel a nice warm ball of energy welled up between your palms,
I want you to cup your eyes,
One with each palm,
Eyes closed,
And bless yourself.
I'm lucky.
I am truly blessed.
I am fortunate.
I am guided by love.
Attract wonderful ideas.
Attract great opportunities.
Attract amazing people.
I attract health.
Attract love.
I give everywhere I go,
Even if it's only a smile.
My abundance overflows to those around me.
I love my life.
I am the M.
In magic.
I'm unstoppable.
I welcome wealth into my life with intersection of light and matter.
I welcome wealth as a manifestation of truth,
Goodness and beauty in this world.
I welcome wealth.
As life-giving life and life-sustaining life.
Now bring your palms back together and pray position to your heart center.
I thank you for joining me in this practice today.
Boom.
Shanti.
Shanti.
Shanti.
