Today we are moving through the Autumnal Equinox, when the sun is directly over the earth’s equator. It is said to be the day of equal night and day. It’s actually not exactly “equal” due of the way we measure the length of the day but it’s close enough.

Portals to the inbetween places

This sacred earth alignment opens up doorways to the inbetween places—the realms of the nature beings and portals to the heavens. We can feel the presence of faeries and elves and angels and orbs and other magical beings more powerfully (or connect more easily) at this time.

We may also be feeling things more deeply in our body and emotions. When the planet shifts, our bodies shift because we are not separate from our earth mother. At some level, we sense the changes that happen on our planet—both subtle and grand.

Feeling the Earth in our bodies

If we become disconnected from our bodies or don’t take the time to check in to how we’re feeling, we might not notice those changes, at least not on a conscious level. And truthfully, we can get by just fine. That’s because we live in a time where information about earth shifts, weather, moon cycles, planetary alignments and anything else we want to know about the planet, comes directly to us via our devices. So we don’t need to pay such close attention.

Life’s much too busy to take the time needed to feel all the feels. It can be challenging enough to process all the emotions cycling though our own bodies, let alone focus on what's going on outside of ourselves. But just like surrendering to our feelings can take us into our superpowers (which we spoke about in the last light log post, Feeling the World) noticing our interconnectedness with our earth and with our solar system, can connect us to a source of great power and bring us into a deep peacefulness.

Even if it doesen't make sense

Logically it would make more sense that opening ourselves up to so much might bring chaos and overwhelm, but when we are clear about how we feel in our own personal constellation, then connecting with the outside world actually brings understanding and calm.

This is especially important during the transition between seasons. Perhaps more so in the Autumn. This season offers the most beautiful transition with its show of colour and the blanket of soft fallen leaves that’s so pleasant to walk on. But it can be the most shocking to the body—at least in the Northern part of the world where there are drastic temperature changes. Perhaps the beautiful show of colours is the Universe's gift to help ease the shock of transition.

Pocket of Peace

When we look beyond what is happening in our own personal universe, we can start to see patterns—not just in our own personal lives but in the outside world as well. Last year at around this time, a beautiful paring of Lithium Quartz and Black Tourmaline were singing as the autumnal equinox was approaching. These crystals were both in glass jars which broke a couple days apart, in 2 very different circumstances, but in such a way that it could only be magic! 

They shared a gift to guide us through the transition into fall. They said that when we feel the dissonance of energetic noise around us, we can hold one of them in each hand and they would create a bubble of quiet, peaceful energy for us to shelter in. The full story can be found in the Crystal Fall post from last year.

It can only be magic!

This year, the same Lithium crystal began singing again—this time it was harmonizing with a calcite crystal. They shared with us a way of tuning into the body to amplify our connection with our emotions so that we could really understand what we are feeling.

Just as the earth has her seasons, and just as we have our personal seasons, so too do the crystals have their seasons. They can gift us with their magic in cycles and patterns. A crystal who came to bless us with their gift, can share their medicine again, a year later or even a decade later. 

I had completely forgotten about the pocket of peace—and it was exactly what I needed at this time. I'd been feeling incredibly restless and unsettled lately. The Lithium crystal started singing again just when I needed her. 

It can only be magic!

May you remember your power and peacefulness as you transition into this next season.
