The Fall Equinox September 22, 2012, 10:49 am, EDT


At this time the life force energy is returning to the roots of the Earth Mother in preparation for winter. To be in harmony, in balance with the earth changes we to need to prepare and embrace the life cycle. It's time to look in the mirror, accepting self, letting go of fear of the new and opening up to possibility, to the powerful person that you are. Celebrate yourself and all the magic you bring with every breath you take. Enjoy , Be Happy and do you! You are the Star in this Moment. Be well . Love yourself as you have never Loved yourself before, You are the one you have been waiting for, Take good care of yourself, You are LOVE!

The Autumn Equinox is the balance between light and dark.  As we give thanks for the abundance that the long days and strong power have given, we also take this moment to balance, to rest, to simply be, and prepare ourselves for the growing cold and dark.  We recognize that what appears as death is merely the preparation for rebirth; that what is reaped at the harvest will become seed for the next year.  We remember the mystery - there is no death; all that dies will be reborn. And for this too, we give thanks.
As autumn returns to earth's northern hemisphere,
and day and night are briefly,
but perfectly,
balanced at the equinox,
may we remember anew how fragile life is ----
human life, surely,
but also the lives of all other creatures,
trees and plants,
waters and winds.
May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest,
may earth's weather turn kinder,
may there be enough food for all creatures,
may the diminishing light in our daytime skies
be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance
in our hearts.
