Rise & Realign - The September Waning Moon
Dear Beautiful,
Honoring you and where you are on your path right now. I want you to know how much I appreciate the ability to share my thoughts and inspirations with you. Communication is a significant part of my path, as is connection. So it gives me great pleasure to be able to share with you what I have discovered to be most essential in living an authentic and aligned life, and to support you while you walk the path as well.
We’ve reached the midpoint of September, with the moon now in her waning phase. She reminds us that growth doesn’t always mean adding more - sometimes it means softening, clearing, and trusting what naturally falls away.
At the start of this month, I shared my story in The Body that Refused to Be Ignored. It was a turning point in my own health journey - moments when I had to listen more deeply and attune to the sacred patterns within. Our bodies are not obstacles. They are teachers. Just like the moon, they carry rhythm and wisdom, guiding us back into balance when we’ve drifted away.
This is the invitation of the waning moon: to trust that release is part of realignment, and that wholeness is never lost - it simply changes shape.
🌟 An Invitation to Re-Align Together
As the seasons turn, I am honored to announce that The Re-Aligned Journey™ - an 18-week, three phase spiral of healing and remembrance - begins on the Autumn Equinox.
The Equinox is a powerful threshold: a moment of perfect balance when day and night stand equal, before we descend into the longer nights of autumn. It invites us to pause, recalibrate, and align our own inner rhythms with the greater rhythm of the cosmos. Just as the Earth leans into a new season, we too are invited to lean into transformation - gently releasing what no longer serves while nourishing the seeds of what is ready to grow.
This timing is no accident. The Equinox is nature’s reminder that balance is not static but cyclical. It is a mirror of what we will walk together in this spiral: learning to rise above old patterns, reclaim the wisdom of the body, and remember the deeper truth of the soul.
When women gather in circle at such a sacred turning point, something profound awakens. We amplify one another’s courage, soften each other’s fears, and create a field of remembrance strong enough to carry us through the shadows and into the light. This is the heart of The Re-Aligned Journey™.
If you feel a gentle “yes” stirring inside, I would be delighted to walk this spiral with you - mind, body, heart, and soul - guided by the intelligence of the seasons and the wisdom you already carry within. Interested in private sessions for The Re-Aligned Journey™, schedule a Resonance Call to discuss this.
With reverence and care,
Melissa
