Happy Autumn Equinox

Happy Autumn Equinox

The dragonfly called to be shared today on this autumn equinox. In this time of confusion, pain, polarization, anger, the dragonfly calls us back to balance, just as the equinox is the balance between light and dark.

It has many messages to share but the ones I wanted to focus on today are:

🌀Change & new beginnings
🌀Adaptability
🌀Lightness of being
🌀The invitation to go deeper
🌀Connect to the energies of nature and the elements

Let’s face it, the pandemic has brought us a lot of change, do we have the courage and strength to hold the vision of new beginnings that are life enhancing for all?

Sometimes it feels just too damn hard and heavy. Step away from the news for a bit. Get off of social media for a few hours instead of frantically checking for the most recent “news”. Step outside, breathe deeply and allow yourself to connect with the natural world. Take a walk. Watch a sunset. Whisper to the stars.

Dragonflies molt several times during their lifespan, always ready for their next step and live as nymphs below the water’s surface most of their life. They share that adaptability and connection to our deeper emotions with us. (Water always symbolizes our connection to our emotions.)

“Dragonflies are reminders that we are light/and we can reflect light in powerful ways if we choose to do so.”
~Robyn Nola

When dragonflies are in flight, they shimmer and sparkle and throw beams of color and light. What I really like about the above quote is the word CHOOSE.
 
We have to choose again and again the world we want to see birthed. Be willing to hold the vision and then take action steps as we are guided. I have to bring myself back daily to the remembrance that chaos and destruction always precede new beginnings.
 
I put my hand on my heart and breath softness and love back into it. The despair I feel at the the condition of the world feels crushing and hopeless…… And then I breathe love and expansion back into my heart again. From the place of truth and peace within, I empowered to take my next aligned steps in my daily life.
