Celebrating the Vernal (Fall) Equinox
If you don’t feel grateful for what you have, what makes you think you’ll be happy with more?
Last night I went to hear the Tuvan Throat Singers and Stephen Kent perform in the cave tunnel at Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands. The event was produced by the Green Music Network.
The tunnel is perched far above the Golden Gate Bridge with a surreal view of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco City lights and the entire Bay. Several hundred creative catalysts, paradigm shifters, leaders, writers and artists were comfortably huddled inside, enjoying the perfect acoustics provided by the cave tunnel. What an absolute blessing to be here in the Mecca!
September 22, Fall Equinox, is when day and night are once again equal; time is in balance. In many cultural traditions, this time is often referred to as the Festival of Thanksgiving. It is the season to reap what we have sown from our spring planting- indeed a time of giving thanks!
It’s challenging to feel balance amidst so much uncertainty. Yin and Yang are continually in a state of flux and always looking for the balance point. Take some extra time for mediation this week, giving attention to inner equilibrium by balancing your inhale and exhale. We are all finding our way back home.
Many blessings on this day!
