September 7 marks the first day of the White Dew Descends Qi node, the moment in the Taoist calendar when Yin begins to move downward and Yang settles into the earth.
The shift can be subtle. The air changes. Evenings arrive earlier. Dew appears overnight. Things become a little quieter and clearer.
This is a time to loosen the pressure to have everything figured out. Bring your attention back to your body. Soften your belly, lower your shoulders, and notice where you are holding tension.
Keep movement gentle and evenings simple. Walking, stretching, warm broth, and an earlier dinner can help the body adjust as the season turns.
Eat something that took the whole summer to ripen, such as melon or corn. It carries the Qi of the entire season within it.
We're now fully entering the Autumn season, and I've created this sound healing journey to help you attune to its rhythm. This meditation is designed to guide you into the Autumn Qi and drop you gently into a heart-centered space. Set to the healing tones of Karma Moffett's Golden Bowls, this journey is best experienced with headphones in a quiet, uninterrupted space.
Some things become clear when we give them enough room.
What is ready to arrive in its own time?
In my own life, the Mystery School feels like one of those long-awaited ripenings.
After years of listening, visioning, and preparing, we have begun. Eleven women have joined this first cohort, coming from many different walks of life. They are healers, space holders, lightworkers, and practitioners, each bringing her own gifts and questions to the circle.
I am deeply moved to see this long-held prayer becoming real.
The Mystery School is a year-long path for those who feel called to go deeper. It is an apprenticeship in becoming more fully who you are, developing your capacity to offer healing, and bringing your gifts into the world with greater clarity, integrity, and love.
Some people come to deepen their spiritual lives. Some want to become more skillful and confident practitioners. Others feel called to teach Reiki and help carry this living practice forward. Each person chooses the path that is right for her.
I feel ready to find and support the practitioners and teachers who will carry this work into its next chapter.
The waitlist for our next cohort is now open. If you feel something stirring, you can read more and add your name here:
With love,
