late summer love letter 🍂
This is taken from my late summer love letter that I send out to my wonderful subscribers. If you would like to receive my sporadic love letter, sign up below at the footer ♡
The last embers of summer glow gently these days in Berlin and the Northern Hemisphere. You can feel change in the air, and perhaps a collective sigh of relief from summer’s extroverted energy. Autumn nears our doorstep, beckoning us to feel its transition and call to turn inward.
This is my favorite time of the year.
I love the way the light falls on the trees and their falling leaves. I love the moody, autumnal weather. I love how little reminders of death dance around us, like living ‘memento mori’ (Latin phrase meaning “remember you must die”).
In my personal journey, summer’s end has thrown me headfirst into themes of death, transition and impermanence. Not a literal death, but rather looking at which parts of myself and my life need to die and transition - an ego death, dark night of soul type of moment.
This includes shedding close relationships, toxic family dynamics, work related issues, outdated beliefs, negative self-talk and more.
It’s been intense.
I’ve been asking myself questions such as:
What dead weight from the past am I carrying and ready to release?
What patterns need changing?
How have I created or contributed to unhealthy attachment and unnecessary suffering?
Where have I lacked integrity and wholeness in myself?
As we enter this more reflective, inward time of Autumn and soon Winter, perhaps similar themes might be coming up for you.
Or perhaps you are also experiencing some type of transition right now.
Know that you are not alone in this and that I am here to hold space for you during these liminal times, should you feel you need it.
My calendar is now open to Autumn bookings for all sessions.
Should you feel you need deeper work, be sure to check out my two-hour intensive Mind/Body/Soul Healing sessions as well. Mention this newsletter and get 10€ discount for all Shamanic Reiki sessions.
I also have upcoming Level 1 and 2 Reiki courses this Autumn and Winter, so check those out if you feel the call to learn Reiki or deepen your practice! I also offer 1-1 private trainings as well.
That's all from me for now, wishing you a peaceful and beautiful late Summer and Autumn!
With love and solidarity,
Mariana
