When you are a writer and teacher you're always looking for that next story or insight to share and when it comes to you, it's a gift. So it was with delight when my youngest daughter, Savanna, a teacher herself, made such a gift.

This week brings us the Fall Equinox! The Sun transits from Virgo into Libra, initiating Autumn (in the Northern hemisphere). You might not even know it, but most likely you felt it somewhere in your body, mind, and/or soul. Mercury also goes back into direct motion on this powerful date. This is one of four days, the Equinox and Solstice, celebrated by many different cultures and traditions in the past as well as the present. On Wednesday evening â Thursday morning, the Earthâs orbit around the Sun, the day and nightâs duration is equal, bringing balance to the earth.

Shusara shares the messages she received during facilitating a group meditation during the full moon in Pisces on Sept. 16, 2016

I want you to think about opening your 8th chakra, which will open you up to your truth. Truth is something that can withstand the test of experience. Without the core of truth there can be no real justice, equality, success, progress, intelligence, security, peace, love, spirituality, or even our survival. Without truth mankind is lost â and is headed for certain disaster â perhaps in the near future. How can one open up and release their pain â and move forward into the Light of peace and happiness? Truth has a common denominator â be assured. Truth is the only thing that can unite all human beings. It is what we all have in common and something that will always remain.

Perhaps the fear movie is the most powerful. Weâll do almost anything to avoid itâyet you have to admit that it has an aliveness about it. But when we live in that emotion, it consumes us and itâs difficult to really experience some of the positive emotions such as love, peace, joy and harmony. The fear movie makes us feel as if weâre stuck in a tunnel where all we see is darkness. At times we feel that weâll never see light again.
