On cyclical living.

It is quite obvious that life moves in a cyclical nature: the four seasons, moon cycles, day and night, even a simple inhale and exhale. We operate optimally, in a balanced and harmonious state, when in sync with these natural rhythms. Hence why I became so intrigued with moon cycles and working with the seasons. There were so many things in my life that felt off balance and not in tune with the world around me.

As humans, we also create our own cycles through patterns and habits. These small routines ultimately help create our world, for better or worse. When examining your own patterns, triggers and behaviors, you may come across some things that you don’t particularly like. It is sometimes referred to as our “shadow side.” Taking this journey is for the couragoues. It is through this process of self exploration, you build awareness, and then get to determine what you want to continue and where a shift could be useful. While these are not always easy to confront, small shifts on a consistent basis can make a huge transformation in our overall existence.

Some things to consider:

What are my habits?

What patterns limit me? Which expand me?

What small shifts can I make to find more balance and harmony? 

If you aren’t quite sure how to even begin this process, start small. A great starting point for me was examining my morning and evening routines. There are so many factors that we cannot control throughout the day, but the tone we set at the start and how we end our day can change your perspective and leave you feeling more empowered. We start to create patterns that expand us.

Cycles are powerful and very much a part of life. They can become a form of of bondage or we can use them for transcendence. Here's to creating a life working with cycles in a way that allows us to grow and evolve, and letting go of those that keep us stuck.

In love, light + with gratitude,
