As we approach the colder seasons, it's natural to find ourselves seeking solace within. This is the perfect time to connect with your inner child—whether through play, games, or hobbies. In this season of introspection, let’s focus on what needs to be addressed and explore the tools that can help us realign. The mind is urging us to stop dispersing our energy, to stop spreading ourselves too thin. It’s time to shake things up and restore inner alignment. Use this opportunity to self-reflect and set practices, both inner and outer, that serve your well-being. Be kind to your mind; embrace it with grace. Don’t allow your emotions to run the show—your mind is asking you to stop running from past hurts, thoughts, patterns, habits, or reactions. Face your emotions and release them, because only through confrontation will you truly see yourself. To bring balance to the mind, practice acceptance. To bring healing to the heart, practice surrender. Let go of trying to control what cannot be changed and focus on thoughts and relationships that nurture your soul. October brings an opportunity to align with all aspects of your being—mind, body, and soul. The colder days invite you to build warmth within and reconnect with your heart. Give your inner child a loving kiss on the forehead, hug your teenage self, hold the hand of your older self, and step fully into your heart. Tune into your being from a place of love and discover new ways of cultivating inner intimacy. Warm yourself with the fire of this full moon and let it guide you to the essence of who you truly are. Break free from old patterns, set positive intentions, and nurture your growth. Patience will help you achieve stillness; creativity will feed your soul as it once did when you were a child, barefoot and joyful. As you connect mind to body, acknowledge both what needs healing and what deserves celebration. Face every part of yourself with unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness. Be graceful with yourself as you take accountability for both the old you and the new you that is emerging. In this journey, find the light within and let Spirit hold your hand through the darkest moments. You are becoming a new version of yourself—trust the higher forces guiding you. Surrender to stillness, invite silence into your mind, and know that you are supported every step of the way. This is a time to step out of your comfort zone and shed the illusions that make you feel hopeless. Plant new seeds and plan how to renew the garden of your soul. Tend to your emotions and nurture your dreams. Drop the shields of outdated patterns and trust that you are protected as you release them. Allow balance to return to your mind, body, and soul. Finally, surrender to the changes, growth, and projects that are unfolding. With grace and unconditional love, find your way to a new, more aligned version of yourself. Sending you all so much love, Healing begins with you, within you, and for you. Asé! Amen! Karla Roach "KAIA", Spiritual Practitioner & Mentor

As we enter this full moon in Aries, rooted in the element of fire, we are called to harness the transformative power of this element—its warmth, intensity, and ability to spark change. While fire often evokes energy and action, it also invites us to soften, to temper its flame with intentional pauses and moments of reflection. This full moon offers the perfect opportunity to balance the fiery energy by welcoming softness into our bodies and hearts. Just as fire needs stillness to burn steadily, we too can find harmony by releasing tension, creating space, and embracing ease within ourselves. By doing so, we allow the power of this moon cycle to work through us more gently, aligning with both the vitality of fire and the nurturing qualities of softness. Inviting softness into yourself during the full moon can be a beautiful practice for releasing tension and embracing a sense of ease. Here are some somatic tools and tips that can help you cultivate that softness: 1. Breath Awareness with Sighs
These somatic practices, when paired with the energetic potency of the full moon, create a powerful opportunity to invite softness and renewal into your life. By engaging in gentle, intentional movements and mindful breathing, you create space within your body for stillness and relaxation. This softness allows you to surrender the pressures of daily life and feel more grounded in your body. As we listen to our body's needs—honoring where tension resides and gently coaxing him/her to release—we cultivate a deeper awareness of the wisdom held within us. In doing so, we align not only with our own rhythm but also with the natural flow of the lunar cycle. The act of softening becomes a practice of nourishment, a way of reconnecting with ourselves and attuning to the moon’s energy. This creates fertile ground for emotional and physical renewal, allowing us to move through the rest of the cycle with a sense of openness and clarity. With Mettā, Amy Lo, Somatic Practitioner |
