You have to do your own work;
Enlightened Ones will only show the way.
Those who practise meditation
will free themselves from the chains of death.

As the Sun enters the sign of LIBRA peace balance and harmony a new season begins, autumn starts in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring begins in the Southern.
Equinox means equal day and night and it falls on Sept 23 @ 12:50 am PDT /3:50 am. pm EDT/ Sept. 23 @ 7:50 am GMT. The Masculine and Feminine powers are balanced. This is an excellent time to bring our own inner masc. and fem. together as equals.
The Moon is in Cancer at the 15th degree conjunct to the North Node at 14 degrees conjunct to Sirius and the U.S. Sun opposite Saturn and the South Node at 13 and 14 degrees and Pluto at 20 Rx Capricorn.
Saturn on the South Node is a great karmic time to release the past Patriarchal structures, rules, shoulds and responsibilities. Seniors, corporate structure, fathers, authority figures are at the end of a…

Can you feel the shift? 🌸
Today is the Fall/Spring equinox depending on what hemisphere you live in, marking the first day of a new season and a day of total equilibrium. This happens at 03:50 am (EDT). Night and day, dark and light are in perfect balance. Now we will experience the shift of seasons and how nature changes in this new cycle. For us in the northern hemisphere, we experience that the light slowly diminishes and nature slowly goes to sleep. 🌸
The Sun moves to the sign of Libra, which is the second air sign in the zodiac. Here we move away from the mind-oriented Virgo and move in to relating to others and creating balance. The Sun today will be right over the equator, moving from north to south and creating equal day and night. 🌸
This has traditionally marked the time of the second harvest celebrations, Mabon, following Lammas and ending with Samhain. This is a celebration for that which we are grateful for and it is a great time to share a nice meal with our loved ones. This has also mythologically been the time when Goddesses Persephone and Inanna descended to the underworld and nature darkenened. It has also been the time when the Sun God dies in order to resurrect again either at the winter solstice or spring equinox. 🌸
I think we all are feeling the shifts as it is true that as above, so below, as without as within. We follow the cycles of nature even in these modern days and we can still connect to the magic of nature. If you can, be in nature, pick from the ground the pine cones, chestnuts and the leaves. Pick some apples or pears and bring it all in to your home and give thanks for all that nature has given us. Today we honor the bounty of nature and we are grateful for all that she provides us with. Happy Equinox!
Sace bhāyatha dukkhassa, sace vo dukkhamappiyaṃ,
mākattha pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, āvi vā yadi vā raho.
Sace ca pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, karissatha karotha vā,
Na vo dukkhā pamutyatthi:
upeccapi palāyataṃ.
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain,
don’t do an evil deed in open or secret.
If you’re doing or will do an evil deed,
you won’t escape pain:
it will catch you even as you run away.

Good morning, family and friends. May you all have a blessed Sunday. Peace be with you.
Gahakāraka, diṭṭhosi!
Puna gehaṃ na kāhasi.
Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ.

O house-builder, you are seen!
You will not build this house again.
For your rafters are broken and your ridgepole shattered.
My mind has reached the Unconditioned;
I have attained the destruction of craving.

Due to its coded and vague nature, the Alchemical path is fraught with pitfalls and shrouded with misinformation. This is illuminated by the sheer number of questions that bombard Kymia on a daily basis. With this series, we hope to answer those questions and to provide clarity to those who seek it.
A study has found that 90% of plastic waste in oceans comes from Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, Westerners are being told to alter their lifestyles and have fewer children to save the planet, and nothing is being said about the countries primarily responsible.

As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart

What you’re looking for is looking for you. Your intended vision is already yours. The second you thought of it and believed in it, it has already been claimed by you. It’s making its way to you know. Our mind operates on a mental plane where we visualize, imagine, and create our next experience. This mental plane is as real as the physical one but it can’t be initially seen but within your inner world. This is all taking place when you speak, think, and feel something into existence. This is your power. We give the external experience more credit because it is tangible. Sometimes we might even believe in it too much that we forget that the mental plane exists where we see what’s possible and our true potential that we bring into the physical world. Your experience shouldn’t be limited what your physical senses are showing you. You have the power now to reimagine, recreate, and redesign your life. The only thing is you can’t worry how or when. You should just be busy designing, celebrating, and having fun because you know what you want is already yours. There’s nothing else to it. Fear and doubt has gotten in the way for too long because we only trust what we see not what we believe. Not anymore. It’s time to claim your power that what you want is already yours. This brings automatic ease without needing, forcing, pushing, and trying so hard. Be calm about it because your faith is stronger than what you see. Things can instantly change for you. Don’t ever doubt that. Live in a space of sudden surprises and blessings. Be open to what can happen for you.
