Crone, Season and Winter-Holiday Seasons

Deep rest is a necessity when we are undergoing incredible transformations. I am reminded at the biological and cellular level my micro energy is converging and diverging. 

With that in mind, I wanted to introduce a wealth of tools to lighten your "self" and intentionally help you to ease, embody and be still here, now. 

The tools are easy, breathe work, intentional movement, water, loose leaf herbs with grounding earth stability and willingness to notice. 

BREATH WORK

- Find your normal breath, no control,

- Focus on the air moving through your nostrils,

- Deep slow breath in, 

- Hold count to three,

- Pursed lips slow breath out,

- Hold count to three,

WATER

- The season calls for a replenishment of soul through fostering connection to earth and elements. 

- To invoke water, start a friendship with your local river (energy flows) and bring an offering of gratitude, a nice flower you found for example. Stand in presence and leave offering for the water. 

- To use shower/bath as vessel, cleanse with our Owl's Nest Curios- Limpia Espiritual bath soak, shower scrub. (How to do a spiritual cleanse on yourself)

AIR

- an auspicious time to divine, either with your chosen tools OR with your written word, Journaling.

- practice speaking words of wisdom to yourself, speak in front of a mirror. Find a comfortable seat , hands down, and TALK. Power note: Mirror intensity involves staring at yourself, focus on the eyes. 

FIRE

- make a fire cleanse by blending and communing with the resins (barks) and charcoal (tree) first, use smell to enhance your relationship. 

- make a sacred smoke cleanse by comfortably facing the south and confidently imagining a fiery sword slice through what needs to be banished or to quit anything bubbling up removing your focus from the moment. 

- intentionally light a candle, best to use a glass "7 day" candle here. 

EARTH

- take a short hike, enjoy a brief walk around your home. Be out side.

- brew a cup or loose leaf tea, try to slow down during this particular routine. Give this ritual your energy. Talk to the loose herbs and request their council or friendship. 

- where does this particular blend sit with you? what are you feeling? sit with this curiosity, careful not to associate and over think-analyze. A short practice in Presence. 

Be curious...What will you build into your daily routine? How will you make space for your rituals? Will you make space for you?
