Mabon/Autumn Equinox: What Balance Makes Room For

Balance and equilibrium don’t come from avoiding the hard stuff.

The material that’s more challenging to feel. The fear, the shame, the doubt, the self-invalidation. The feelings that feel anything but “centered”, anything but “enlightened”, anything but “pure”.

You may feel dialed in, like things are coming together inside and out, and yet there could still be something waiting in the shadows to come forward.

Parts of us can be afraid to allow what needs to surface to come through. They can push away intimacy because they’re doing all they can to “hold it together”, and the mirrors of love can shake that up.

If they feel afraid of losing center and balance, then are they, and you, truly balanced after all?

In my experience, we cannot fully radiate and feel embodied in love and care for ourselves and others unless the shadow is allowed to do its work.

I myself am also feeling how the shadows of fear and shame, of self-consciousness, of self-invalidation, need to come forward for me to feel deeply lately. I can feel the gift of this in the vulnerability it calls forward, which invites more intimacy, and not less. It invites more Divine Love to come in and support these feelings to surface and move through.

Feeling the ache of grief, of all that we thought had been fully healed inside of us, more or less, is the portal that the Equinox invites us into.

It doesn’t have to take over the goodness of what we’ve cultivated in our lives and our relationships. Yet all of that goodness and progress gets to hold space for the pieces that still need to rise and be felt.

As I feel Persephone as a specific face of Divine Mother who is available to guide us during this time, I feel how she, as a threshold keeper between above and below, light and shadow, is an amazing space holder for this exploration of becoming gut (and heart) honest within.

She energizes love for all of it: for what makes you shine and what inside of you still pines, for the soul aspects that still need recognition and healing, for the parts of you still afraid of admitting that they don’t feel ok, let alone “good”.

This time of Mabon / Autumn Equinox in this hemisphere is a turning inward and an opportunity to gently call forward what needs to be revealed from within.

Creating the inner and outer circumstances of safety is paramount for this process, and perhaps if you feel a bit stuck when it comes to allowing all of your more challenging feelings to come forward, there are changes you’re invited to walk out in that regard.

All is coming into balance.

Yet, this is an ongoing process.

It is humbling, it is real, and it is always right on time… in its own time.

Love,

Kasha
