September + integrate
This Month, as we look to nature we see:
The Sun is setting earlier by the day
Mother Earth, Birds, Trees, Grass are enjoying their last month of fullness before Fall season begins
The gardens are offering their harvests
Integrated adult
As we wrap the final month of the summer season, it’s time to honor the journey this past year of seasons. Take stock of the fully integrated human you are after mirroring Nature and her seasons instead of mirroring the news, mirroring your negative friends, and/or your feelings.
This month we will be exploring the benefits of being an integrated fully embodied adult.

The Blessing of Adulthood
Many in this group have done their fair share of transformational growth, self help, and inner work. It’s about time you(we) enjoy the present and the blessing of adulthood. Lay the stories down, leave the experiences in the rearview, and be fully here now.
You’re grown enough to know that when you accomplish a dream, you will want another. When you reach a goal, you may change your mind. When you heal a wound, you may remember that other time. When you have a bad day, you know you will have good times again. You’ve witnessed the cycles, certainly this past year with me in The Soul Cabin, but all the years of your adulthood and childhood.
Here is when you take a pause to let it sink in. Let the wisdom integrate in your mind, body, + soul. Allow yourself the grace to feel joy + satisfaction now. In spite of the state of the world, in spite of any issues or challenges at home, work, and relationships. Those are outward things, and like the weather, we know we have no control over. You have learned how to look inward. To feel your intuition. To know when you are in autopilot or intuition. To be in community when you need support, knowing asking for help is the strongest thing you can do. To be alone when you need to and saying no, if needed, knowing that boundaries are essential not a luxury.
In all my years of integrating this work, I have learned suffering is not necessary. I have tools, awareness, intuition, and community to support me through all the seasons of my life. What a blessing.
May you Pause, integrate, and experience these blessings as well.

The Well Cell
In a Shift Network interview a few months ago I heard Vickie Dodd share what I am about to read for you.
Vickie is an internationally known pioneer in the field of Sound as a Bodywork. She is an author, poet, nutritionist, herbalist, workshop leader and musician.
This was something she wrote in the 80’s that still feels very true. So, sit back and enjoy. It’s less then 5 minutes of your time, but will make you think long after, about feeling well.

September CREATIVE ACTIVITY
write a letter
Integrated Self Reflection
Write a letter to your younger self.
What you have learned, the mistakes you made that now make sense and you ended up okay. The wisdom you’ve accumulated through lived experience and witnessing many seasons, cycles, + change. Giving gratitude to that little one who has grown so much and appreciating right now that you may not be exactly where you want, but you are way further along then when you started.
Then, share your letter with the young one’s in your life. The next generations are looking to learn from us and make NEW mistakes. It’s important to share the wisdom we have learned.
Love,
Meg
