listen while you read
meditation on the Autumnal Equinox
Let all the light fall today
in a rare, receiving way.
Fully, equally, wholly
onto, into, your hemispheres.
Your north and south.
Your left and right brain.
Your masculine and feminine.
Conscious and unconscious;
actual and potential self.
Pause.
Close your sunlit eyes
and slowly, slowly breathe.
Open.
Widen.
Feel the life-giving, life-renewing rays
enter the center, the equator
of your body, your being.
Bringing all parts of your inner world
into great balance.
Bathing all parts of you in greater warmth
and health. Brightening,
lightening your places, crevices, passages
of darkness, sadness, hiddenness,
shadow.
Let all the new light falling,
streaming,
seeking,
find and fill you this day,
with a keener seeing,
sense of turning;
promise of becoming.
What if you thought of the full spectrum of light another way: in its full range of life-giving properties. From supporting the health and vitality of your body, to enabling the food you eat to grow and thrive, to dispelling some darkness or sadness in your heart or spirit.
Take time to
ease back somewhere, eyes closed or open, and simply, quietly bathe and breathe for awhile in the Sun's living rays, its renewing energies.
