September is a month of sacred turning. The veil thins. The soil cools. The ancestors stir.
Pitru Paksha begins September 7—a time to honor our lineage, release karmic weight, and offer gratitude to those who walked before us.
Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, arrives September 22. A day of balance, harvest, and reflection. We gather what has grown and prepare to let go. Navratri begins September 22—a nine-day celebration of the Goddess Durga in all her forms. Each day invites us to embody a different facet of divine feminine power: protection, wisdom, creativity, and fierce love.
This month’s circle will center on:
Ancestral offerings and guided release rituals
Equinox altar building and balance meditations
Protecting Your Energy During the Holiday Season
As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle. While this time of year is filled with joy and togetherness, it can also bring stress, overstimulation, and emotional strain. That’s why protecting your energy is essential to staying grounded and fully enjoying the season.
Here are some ways to nurture and protect your energy during the holidays:
* Set Boundaries: Remember, it’s okay to say no. Prioritize the events and gatherings that truly bring you joy and align with your well-being. Your time and energy are precious—use them wisely.
* Create Sacred Space: Dedicate a small area in your home where you can retreat when you need to recharge. Use candles, sage, or crystals to cultivate a peaceful energy that supports your spirit.
* Practice Gratitude: Focus on the moments and people who fill your heart with love. A simple gratitude ritual—like journaling or saying a daily affirmation—can shift your mindset and boost your energy.
* Ground Yourself: Take moments throughout the day to reconnect with your body and breath. Meditation, yoga, or even a mindful walk can help you release negativity and stay centered.
*Limit Overcommitment: The holidays can pull us in many directions, but overloading yourself will only drain your energy. Balance giving to others with taking care of yourself.
* Cleanse and Protect Your Aura: Use tools like sage, palo santo, or your favorite energy-clearing oil to remove lingering negative energy. Visualize a shield of white light around you to protect your aura when you’re in busy or overwhelming environments.
This season, let’s focus on giving from a place of fullness, not depletion. By protecting your energy, you not only care for yourself but also bring your best self to those you love.
