As cooler winds blow in and the daylight lessens, we can see the end of summer upon us. It is time to say goodbye to the solar energy that radiates over the Earth during the light half of the year. The same should be done for the energy in your home and personal spaces. The foggy and crisp part of the year brings a calmness still enough to make you confront the skeletons in your closet.
Clean & Declutter
Smoke cleansing and smudging are my top choice for natural cleaning. I also like to use a sage or rosemary essential oil with a simple vinegar/water solution to cleanse my surfaces and things around my home, work, and spiritual spaces.
Ritual Detox Bath
A deep physical cleanse of the body through a rich bath of salts and bentonite clay can pull out toxins and stagnant energy. In preparation of this introspective season exfoliate with intent to remove the dirty parts of yourself you no longer wish to carry.
Purge Negative Influence
If any pieces of your life are out of control, now is the time to purge and reset yourself of bad habits and character defects. Look honestly inside yourself and where you can cultivate new systems to restore balance and realign your path to your desires.
Gather Your Thoughts
If you don't already journal, now is the best time to start. You'll be slowing down with the season and should take some time to record your experiences. Your journal can be a place you start writing your thoughts when you find more time on your hands. Start decluttering your mind of all the solar powered inspiration bestowed upon you this summer.
Express & Release
Art, in all forms of expression, can be a powerful tool in reaching our own truths. We can see feelings without a name and speak words no one can hear. Art can be an outburst of raging, repressed pain and also be the radiant light of a most treasured memory. I urge you to find some way today to artistically release your inner secrets, if only to confront them for yourself.
