The energy of September is a transition month….a doorway, so to speak, as one example was given to me. It was an interesting example I thought, as I felt like I was in the middle of a couple situations the past two weeks that put me right at a “doorway”.
The first “doorway” I experienced was with Jack and Jess, the awesome horse trainer I have helping me with Jack. The day was Thursday, August 26th. A beautiful, sunny afternoon with just a breeze. (I know! Can you believe it for those of us that live in the Dakotas….no wind) Jess was out to the farm trimming Jack’s hooves and that event led into a training day for both Jack and myself.
Jess stated, “We are at a perfect training point.” She continued with, “keep your feet planted and keep Jack moving”. We were lunging him because of his poor behavior to something new. He was acting like a typical two-year old and having a fit! But his fits are a bit more intense due to the fact that he has four legs to kick and scream with and he was using all of them! And this time Jess was not at the end of the lead rope….I was.
This was my first view of the ‘Doorway Energy of September’. I wanted to stop the whole training. I did not want to continue. I wanted to hand the lead rope to Jess and just watch the training. This was uncomfortable for me, intense and I was pretty much scared. If you have ever had a 1,000lb animal throw a tantrum you know what I’m talking about here. But at the same time I knew if I stopped now I would have to face this “doorway” again….both with Jack and myself, so I kept on. Pretty much shaking and trying to keep my energy at least half way in my body so Jack would start to relax. Having Jess standing there coaching me along with what to do next was a huge help!
A couple times during this whole intense scene of Jack throwing himself around I was thinking to myself, I do the same thing that Jess was doing with me. Coaching people – helping them through intense moments of life by coaching them along….helping them to stay calm….suggesting what to do next. And then I reminded myself what was actually happening and that my coaching sessions are a bit safer. Although some of the moments that clients experience during our coaching times are just as intense, we have yet to experience any broken bones during a session. Thank goodness as I think that would be bad for business! 🙂
So as this perfect training moment, more like over an hour, came to a positive close I was excited that I hung in there until the very end and made it through that doorway. Even though I wanted to stop a couple different times, a part of me was thinking this is a huge step – I can’t stop now!
And as always, Jess was a real trooper as her schedule was demanding that day and simply stated, “when those training moments come you can’t walk away.” I agreed because I know everything happens for a reason.
The second “doorway” was only a couple days later in Duluth, MN. Roger & I were spending the weekend with our Shaman/Teacher friend, JD. JD was at the farm this past May teaching an Advanced Dowsing Class and helping me with some energy clearing on the farm. During that time he invited us to come help him clear some land by his home in Duluth. Roger & I enjoy Duluth, so we jumped at the chance!
We drove to the location where we will park our cars and begin the three mile hike one-way to the spot that needs energy clearing. This spot that needs clearing is so negative, dark and some real bad things have happened here I’m feeling a bit uneasy. As Roger puts the car into park I have this sudden, excruciating pain in my back between my spine and shoulder blade. It takes my breath away and I’m unable to put my hiking boots on. It feels like a knife went into my back. I’m thinking where did this come from? I was sore from that training with Jack and Jess, but that was three or four days ago and nothing like the pain I’m experiencing now. ???? What in the world?!
After some moments I finally get my boots on and get out of the car. I begin to explain to Roger and JD I don’t think I’m up for this. Again, I’m thinking to myself I have to do this or it will come up again. This is a huge step – I can’t stop now!
Now while I’m thinking I need to move forward I’ve totally forgotten all about my first huge step only a couple days prior with Jack. That step was huge enough that I didn’t need another huge step this month, but luckily I forgot all about it….at that moment anyway….and moved forward past this uncomfortable feeling I was having in regards to getting any closer to this spot.
Repeatedly I had the guys stop so I could “check in” to see if it was really a smart thing for us to get any closer to this nasty spot. JD reassured me we were walking with Guides and Angels and that we were fully protected energetically. I knew without a doubt that the spot was going to be easy to get to, even though it was in the middle of a forest/swamp area, I just didn’t know if I wanted to get any closer. The dense feeling of layers of darkness were piling on me and the pain in my back was strong!
To make it short for Newsletter sake, we found the location right away. Cleared it. Walked out of the area and the shooting pain in my back was gone. I thought it was strange, because I thought the pain was from wrestling with Jack. Then JD reminded me I feel everything in my body when I’m clearing energy so it really isn’t strange. What I was feeling, to the best of my knowledge right now, was the intensity of the spot that needed cleared. I made it through another doorway! I made another huge discovery of how I feel energy and in the process made it through another doorway and understood more of who I AM .
These doorways of September are helping us be honest with ourselves as to who we are. Commit yourself to improving. Take stock of your life and your surroundings. This month is an excellent opportunity to review the way you organize your life so you can make the best choices in the coming months. Starting right after the Mercury Retrograde on the 12th, it’s time to take the positive changes you have been envisioning!
The New Moon is on Wednesday, September 8th. The first part of this week could be rather intense due to the Mercury Retrograde that is also happening at this time. Just keep your feet planted, your energy down in your body and breathe. Practice thinking or saying, “Isn’t that interesting.” The New Moon Phases are perfect times for contemplation and looking at the past and letting go of all that no longer serves you.
The Full Moon, which is the Harvest Moon and also the Autumnal/Fall Equinox, will be on Thursday, September 23rd. I’ve had the feeling since early last month that this is going to be THE point of change. If September is the transition month than this Full Moon defines it….puts you on the next step….takes you around that corner….completes that task you have been working on for so long. Some might call it ceremonial. Whatever you want to call it, this energy is huge. Use it! Get clear on what you want to create in your life. Make your New Moon Wish List (check the blog for New Moon wish times at http://charjung.com) Bring your attention inward. Notice how you are feeling. Breathe……and always enjoy your ride.
