The last few weeks have been an unwinding, a slow exhale after almost ten years of teaching in town and eight years running the yoga studio in Ripley Arcade.
But I have really struggled to actually slow down and stop being in creator mode.
I felt the pressure to “keep momentum,” to create the next thing quickly so people wouldn’t drift away. My mind wanted to move, but my body was asking for stillness. And it took me a couple of weeks and a painful back spasm to finally listen.
Everyone around me kept saying, “It’s okay to slow down.” But I wasn’t giving myself permission to actually receive it. 😬
For so long, every time I stepped onto my mat, ideas would rush in, ideas, things to create, things to share, new beginnings (hello Gene Key 1 and 53), the next ambition (Gene Key 54). I wasn’t fully letting myself be with my own practice, I was always thinking of how can I help others, instead of fully receiving.
And now… something has shifted. I’ve softened. And best of all, my nervous system has dropped back into true parasympathetic rest. I’m meditating for me again. Moving for me again. Receiving again.
In this space I am loving coming home to my own body, my own breath, my own inner rhythm.
This last part of the year isn’t asking me to push.
It’s asking me to slow down, listen, soften… and trust that the new will arrive when I’m ready to hold it.
I’m grateful for the lessons of 2025, the shedding, the recalibration, the reminders to return to myself.
Neptune and Saturn are currently at 29° Pisces and it’s giving us all space to be in the void, to slow down, reflect and let go of the patterns that no longer serve us. For me this is conjunct my south node and is inviting in lots of reflection about the past and what I don’t want to carry with me as I move forward on my next steps.
This season is for rest. For receiving.
For coming home. ❤️
