September Equinox: Reap & Receive. Re-‐balance & Restore. Re-‐align & Refocus Welcome to the Equinox. A powerful time for pausing and reflecting and getting re-‐focused for this last part of the year so that how and where you spend your life force – in your sacred work, relationships, and personal health, wealth and home -‐ returns an abundant harvest that will nourish and sustain you for the months ahead. It is at this time that a wise woman pauses, first to illuminate the path she has traveled these past 9 months. As you turn to SEE all that you have done and become, you gain the super power to actually receive the fruits of all of your labor, love, energy, time and devotion. You ‘harvest’ the accomplishments of what you have done – projects you've created or completed, challenges you’ve met, changes and shifts you’ve made, experiences you’ve had, relationships you’ve fostered or bolstered, successes you’ve caused and disappointments you’ve rallied through. You also harvest the fruits of you have become – how you have changed and shifted inside, spiritual and emotional victories, a more expressed and expanded evolution of yourself. When we don’t pause to see, acknowledge and witness these accomplishments, we don’t receive the bounty from the harvest, it feels like it never happened, and we keep pushing and pressuring ourselves harder the rest of the year, often dissipating our life force by trying to do too much vs. what will really reap the harvest we need to sustain and nourish us through the end of the year and into the next. And what brings us joy and lights us up! Second, we pause to illuminate where we stand TODAY, right now, at this point of equal light and dark on the earth – a balance point – to shine a light on where imbalances exist inside of us and in the patterns and pace of our lives. We can then restore balance and check in on our energy reserves and daily patterns to make sure we have enough – life force and resources – to fuel us to walk the path ahead. The ancient sages always knew that finding the imbalances within our systems was the key to creating harmony – which is where health, wealth and wellness thrive. We apply that to our modern lives by looking at the imbalances that have worked their way into our habits in our physical bodies – through habits that may have been okay through the summer months, but as we go into the last 3 months of the year, an adjustment is needed so we don’t create unhealthy imbalances in the health of our bodies, finances or physical spaces. For example, perhaps you enjoyed a daily coffee every day over the summer, but now your body is saying to continue would be imbalanced, so a new pattern is needed. Or perhaps you spent much life force tending to your family or a specific project and now your life force as they go back to school and become more independent or that project completes or moves to a new phase is to shift the balance between the life force you focus on them/it, and you or something new. We don’t need to make what has been wrong. What served for a time often shifts over time, which is why we take super power pauses at this time. When we illuminate the imbalances, our feminine wisdom can guide us to find the balanced path ahead. Lastly, we pause to illuminate the path ahead to re-‐align and re-‐focus our intentions and life force so that it gets applied to what will bring us the most abundant, divinely aligned and supported harvest – providing more resources and opportunities this year, and energizing the seeds for what will expand and grow next year. It’s wise to take stock of all the ways you could spend your life force in your sacred work + your relationships + your body, home, and finances vs. just running full steam ahead or unconsciously walking forward without intention. A wise woman tends her field all year, makes sure she has the reserves and resources she needs, and heeds the timing of the divine and earth cycles. Likely there are some things you’d LOVE to do the rest of the year, and maybe they are in alignment and are ripe and ready for harvesting, OR perhaps no matter how much energy you give them, no fruit or not enough to sustain you will manifest. We pause here to feel into our projects and possibilities so that the life force we give is balanced with the harvest you will reap. This is feminine super power!

When you choose to pause at this time, you align yourself and your life with the natural cycles of the earth, with the desires of your heart, and the guidance of your soul. And you become wiser as to how to direct and spend your life force in all areas of your life – work, relationships, health, wealth, and home. Through this choice of “conscious pause,” you can gain the power to SEE and FEEL and RECEIVE guidance that normally you would not have access to, or would require much more work for you to get to it. Not pausing during this time to tap into your Divine guidance and to feel into what is present on the earth and check in on your “field” is like walking away from a garden you tended for 9 months, leaving the fruit to rot on the vine or giving away your power to cultivate and co-‐create the realities you desire for yourself, your beloveds and the world. When you skip the pause at this powerful time of year, you set yourself up to operate in reactive mode to everything outside of you vs. consciously and intentionally creating the realities you desire. The wise woman, pauses to FEEL + LISTEN, asking the right questions that serve as portals to her Divine Guidance. But to get to this deeper wisdom, she has to slow down, turn off the outside world and use her “wise woman super power tools” to tune in to her heart and soul, where the wisdom lives. Then she can come back into the world, focused, restored, clear and ready to take courageous, wise action that liberates her to walk her path and give her gifts in the way she uniquely is meant to. To take you on this journey during this powerful time of Equinox, I have created this mini September Equinox Ritual Guidebook (based on the Feminine Super Power Year program) to lead you through a series of three heart + soul inquiries that will guide you to tune in, get Divine guidance, and tap into what you really desire these as you complete the year and weave into the next:

Illuminate the Path Behind – Reap & Receive Your Harvest So Far

See and feel all you have done and become so you move forward feeling great and good.

Illuminate the Present – Rebalance & Restore Find the imbalances and restore the balance so you have the resources and reserves you need to tend your

field and take care of yourself and those you love.

Illuminate Your Field + the Path Ahead Complete the year supported, sustained, nourished and focused on what matters and what will powerfully

weave you into the year ahead

Love yourself enough to make sure the life force you give returns to you what nourishes and sustains you and supports you to thrive.

POWER PORTAL ONE: Reap & Receive.

First we illuminate the path that you have already walked this year, starting this feminine super power ritual with reflection, acknowledge and celebration.

In just the last nine months cycles, since the start of the year:

1. WHAT HAVE I DONE? Consider your sacred work, relationships, health, wealth, home, experiences, projects, intentions? 2. Who have I BECOME? See the woman you have unfolded as, evolved, elevated, challenges you met, successes possible because of who you were being – be proud of yourself, cherish yourself.

POWER PORTAL TWO: RE-‐BALANCE + RE-‐STORE Now we illuminate where you stand today to find the imbalance and reveal the path to restoring

balance so you have the resources and life force you need to sustain and nourish you through the end of the year & into next.

1. What are the imbalances? Start by just asking this question of you inner wisdom for each of

these three areas separately. Survey your work life – your projects, how you are spending your life force, what you are giving and receiving, patterns of your work schedule vs. your self care schedule and feel into what imbalanced. Survey your relationships and feel into which ones are in or out of balance and be specific about what is out of balance. Then survey your patterns and habits in your physical body – eating, exercise, spiritual practice, soft addictions -‐-‐ that feel out of balance, that seem to be about releasing stress but aren’t the most healthy choice.

CURRENT IMBALANCES IN… • My Sacred Work

• My Relationships

• My Body

2. What is needed to restore balance? For every imbalance you found, commune with your inner wisdom to get guidance on how to bring this into balance. Make sure what you choose comes from a place of self love, not self criticism or judgment, and that it feels supportive not stressful. Sure it an stretch you, in that bringing it into balance will require a commitment to yourself, but it should not add pressure to you or set you up to fail or create unrealistic expectations.

I CAN RESTORE BALANCE BY…

• In My Sacred Work

• In My Relationships

• In My Body

POWER PORTAL THREE: RE-‐ALIGN + RE-‐FOCUS Now we illuminate the path ahead to re-‐align and re-‐focus where to direct and flow your life force and resources so that you complete your harvest with the most abundance possible, to keep you nourished and sustained at all levels through this year and into the next. And also so that the energy you give this year creates a powerful weave into next year. All success and happiness is rooted in commitment say the yogis. Without commitment you cannot have true sustainable success. So we pause here to powerfully choose how you will direct your life force and spend your resources through this last part of the year. Remember focus creates super power. 1. What are the ways that I could spend my life force? Sacred Work Relationships Physical + Material Support

• Body

• Financial

• Home 2. What do I think I SHOULD do? And what am I afraid to NOT do? 3.What do I really DESIRE to do and focus on? 4. What do I KNOW TO BE TRUE about where to focus my life force the rest of this year?

Super Power Ritual: Commit from Self-‐Love

Once you have focus and clarity on where you are putting your life force and resources through Winter Solstice (the end of December) create a feminine super power ritual that shows your commitment. Here are some examples. Have fun. You can’t mess this up or do it right or wrong. You are the creator of your own ritual. Trust your intuition, using these as guidelines before the full moon.

• Use the template created to make your own piece of Feminine Super Power Art. Commit with your words. Commit through adding color – with marker, crayon, or color pencil. As you create the art do it with intention – feeling what you are calling in, saying yes to, who you are being and what you are choosing to put your life force too.

• Put the clear and focused answers to your inquiries into your journal, with the header September

Equinox 2016. Using image and words draw out your intentions and create a visual mirror to reflect on these next few moons.

• Be witnessed and receive wisdom on the harvest you have reaped + how you are focusing your

lifeforce forward. One of the greatest gifts we can give and receive as women is to witness each other, listen to each other, and reflect what we see and hear from the center of our inner wisdom. We all need to be witnessed in our journeys, and when we are, we gain courage, strength, and self love. We also need the reflections of others – who can be clear channels – to help us navigate the uncharted waters ahead, help us see things we may not see. If you have a trusted woman or a partner in your life, share this with them and ask for their reflection on all you have done and become and also on what you are choosing to give your life force too. If you have a circle of women you are part of – a ‘Femmamind’ -‐ use that time and space to reflect and illuminate the field together. If you have a mentor or guide, that’s another way to super power these and stay accountable to yourself. Lean into your support, created sisterhood and thrive.

• Make an offering to the earth + to your divine guides in gratitude of what you have received and for

the harvest to come. Let your imagination and feminine heart guide you to create an offering – a ritual, a poem, a gift, a gesture, of love and gratitude – to the earth. For example, make an altar under a tree in your backyard, plant something, visit favorite woods and say a prayer or sing a song. Do the same for your divine guides who are also here guiding you. Acknowledge their presence through prayer, meditation, an inspired gesture to pay it forward, or an offering that feels in alignment for you. We do this to remember that we are not the ones making this happen on our own. We do this to remember reverence for the earth and our commitment to create sustainable systems and offerings that nourish all life. We do this to honor our lineage and those who have walked before us. We do this to never forget the source of wisdom and the connectedness we have to all things.
