🌗 Equinox, Eclipse & Self-Worth 🌗
Do you sometimes find yourself undervaluing your work… or constantly pushing to prove you’re enough?
Maybe it feels hard to set your price, to be visible, or to stand tall without fear of rejection.
During the last healing meditation, under the solar eclipse, new moon and equinox, we worked on healing self-worth.
Participants shared how powerful it felt to reconnect with the truth that worth does not depend on achievements or approval, but on deep acceptance of who we are.
But what is self-worth?
It is the inner knowing that we are valuable and enough as we are. It forms the core of our identity, not based merely on achievements or external validation, but on the deep acceptance of ourselves.
Self-worth develops in childhood. The earliest mirrors for a child are the parents: the father as a symbol of the outer world, and the mother as a symbol of safety. When a child receives affirmation from the father—“you are capable, you belong”—healthy confidence forms. Without it, we often seek validation later through success, pleasing, or submission.
It’s important to distinguish:
Confidence relates to what we can do.
Self-worth is broader—it is the right to exist, to love, to create, regardless of outcome.
We experience self-worth in different dimensions:
Inner voice: critical voices diminish it, supportive voices strengthen it.
Body: the right to take up space, to breathe fully, to feel pleasure.
Relationships: the ability to set healthy boundaries that protect our worth.
Work & creativity: trusting that what we create matters and deserves fair recognition.
From a psychological perspective, the father symbolizes our relationship to the outer world—work, achievement, status, material foundation. If this bond is weak, we may feel “not enough” and try to prove ourselves through overwork or perfectionism. As adults, we have the chance to cultivate an inner father—an inner authority that confirms our worth and trust in ourselves.
With the equinox, when feminine and masculine, day and night, are in balance, we also reflected on the balance between giving and receiving.
Healthy self-worth means we can:
give from fullness (not from a need for approval),
receive without guilt (trusting that we are worthy of gifts, payment, love).
Self-worth is the inner foundation from which confidence, healthy relationships, and meaningful work arise. It is not something we need to earn, but something we can become aware of, heal, and reactivate—through connection with ourselves and with life.
Would you like support in expressing yourself more freely, standing up for your work, and setting clear boundaries?
🌑 In September, my online healing meditations (Sundays at 7:30 pm CET) are dedicated to the theme of Self-Worth. You can join by registering through the link in the comments.
We live in a society of achievement, where worth is often measured by career success. Yet even when we achieve, shadows of doubt can overshadow joy. The good news is: self-worth can always be healed and expanded—by softening the inner critic, setting healthy boundaries, caring for our bodies, receiving with openness, and trusting that we are already valuable simply by being.
