The Energetic Storm of October: A Journey through Karmic Residue and Spiritual Awakening
October is set to be a transformative month, not just externally in the world, but also internally, as many of us will face a deep, energetic storm within ourselves. The challenges we encounter are not random; they are essential parts of our spiritual evolution and the broader process of human awakening. October brings profound shifts, both in the world and within ourselves.
The Moon’s Secrets: Reclaiming Our Power through Shadow Work
The Moon holds symbolic power over our hidden aspects, especially through its relationship with Black Moon Lilith. It represents the emotional and subconscious realms, which anchor parts of ourselves that we may not want to face —our fears, traumas, and unresolved karmic patterns.
Gregg Braden remind us that within these dark, repressed parts of ourselves lie the greatest opportunities for transformation. When we dive into these shadows, we find the “diamonds”—the gifts and lessons that are hidden beneath the surface.
This is why October’s energetic storm is not just something to endure, but a time for profound inner growth. By integrating these shadow aspects, we reclaim lost parts of ourselves, heal old karmic emotional scars, and step more fully into our personal power.
The Moon, like a mirror, reflects back to us what we need to see, and it is up to us to embrace that reflection with courage and compassion.
The challenge here, is that "one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." Right now, we are being asked to confront these shadows, integrate them, and heal from within.
Carl Jung believed that the shadow—those parts of ourselves we deny—holds untapped power and wisdom. Facing these fears, while difficult, is the only way to reclaim our wholeness.
Emotions as Guides: Learning from Karmic Patterns
October’s energy may bring strong emotions such as rage, sadness, frustration, that can feel overwhelming.
These emotions are not to be feared but understood. When we experience intense emotions, they are signals that point to unhealed parts of ourselves. It is time to recognize these emotions as opportunities to heal old traumas and transcend them.
We are collectively experiencing not only our personal trauma but also ancestral and karmic patterns that have been passed down through generations. These traumas can be stored in our DNA and activated by our environment.
October’s eclipse energy acts as a cosmic catalyst, encouraging us to release these old patterns and move toward a new energetic paradigm.
‘The mind is everything. What you think, you become’ ~Buddha
Has anyone else been feeling like you are stepping into the Unknown as you leaping and out of a New Reality?
"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings."
Many of us feel a pull to move into a new life—a new way of being—but we hesitate because the unknown feels uncomfortable and uncertain. Rudolf Steiner, a visionary of spiritual science, taught that stepping into the unknown is essential for personal and collective evolution.
October’s energetic shifts challenge us to take that leap, leaving behind old patterns, systems, and comfort zones that no longer serve us.
But this leap into the new cannot happen without first addressing the karmic residue from our past. Remember that you are not getting beyond your shadow until you deal with it.
This means healing old wounds, facing unresolved fears, and letting go of limiting beliefs. Until we do, we remain stuck between the old and the new, unable to fully move forward.
My message to you: navigate the upcoming astrological and cosmic shifts with awareness, embracing both the chaos and the opportunities for personal and spiritual evolution. The energy is dynamic and YES, there will be difficulties, but there’s also immense potential for transformation.
Reminder: Out of difficulties grow miracles - It’s a time to embrace the chaos, knowing that it leads to renewal and ‘Be still and Know’ (Psalm 46:10) for it is in the stillness, that you’ll find peace an strength to evolve in your path of spiritual progression/Ascension that leads you towards higher consciousness.
A path where self-discovery, ethical living, and spiritual practises lead to profound personal evolution and unity with the cosmos through self-realization and understanding the interconnectedness of all life, encouraging us to transcend our personal limitations.

Relaxation Practice for October’s Energies: Qigong for Calming and Balancing the Nervous System
During October's intense energetic shifts, it’s crucial to center ourselves and bring our nervous system into balance. Qigong, a gentle, meditative movement practice, can help harmonize the body’s energy, reduce stress, and restore inner calm. Here's a simple Qigong exercise focused on supporting the organs that need extra assistance during this period—specifically the lungs and kidneys, which are often linked to emotions like fear, grief, and anxiety.
Qigong for the Lungs and Kidneys: Calming and Grounding Exercise
1. Find Your Space: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Rest your hands by your sides, and take a few deep breaths, feeling the connection between your feet and the ground. Let go of any tension in your body as you exhale.
2. Centering Breath: Close your eyes, breathe in slowly through your nose, expanding your lungs fully, and imagine you are drawing in pure, cleansing energy.
As you exhale, release any built-up stress or tension.
*Repeat this breathing pattern for 3-5 deep breaths, focusing on relaxation.
3. Qigong Movement for the Lungs (Clearing the Energy Pathways):
Raise your arms slowly in front of you, palms facing the sky as if you are scooping energy from the Earth. As you reach chest height, turn your palms downward, and gently push them down as you exhale, imagining you are pressing away negative or stagnant energy.
Repeat this movement 9 times, focusing on breathing deeply into the lungs. With each breath, feel any grief or anxiety dissolve as you release it through the downward motion.
4. Qigong for the Kidneys (Strengthening and Grounding):
Place your hands on your lower back, where the kidneys are located. Inhale deeply, drawing in energy to nourish and strengthen your kidneys.
As you exhale, gently massage the area with slow, circular movements, visualizing warmth and healing flowing into this vital organ.
Repeat for 1-2 minutes, feeling the kidneys become stronger and more balanced, grounding your energy into the Earth.
5. Complete the Practice: Bring your hands to the centre of your chest, palms together, and take a few deep breaths. Feel the harmony between your breath and body, acknowledging how this simple practice has calmed your mind and grounded your energy. Finish with a moment of gratitude for yourself and the healing process.
Why This Works?
The lungs, connected to the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, often carry emotions of grief and sadness. Qigong for the lungs helps release these emotions, allowing for clearer breathing and emotional processing. The kidneys, linked to the Water element, are connected to fear and survival instincts.
Strengthening the kidneys brings calm, courage, and a sense of grounding, helping you navigate October's turbulent energies with peace and resilience.
Practice this exercise daily or whenever you feel overwhelmed. It will help you stay grounded, calm, and ready to embrace the month’s transformative energies.
Record, Heal, and Transform: 21-Day self-healing Journey
Your voice carries vibrational energy, and by speaking to yourself with intention, you can activate healing at a cellular level.
Record yourself given the instruction for this exercise on your phone. This serves as a reminder to stay committed to your healing journey.
Harness the transformative power of your voice to guide you through the exercise. As you move, speak affirmations and healing mantras such as, ‘I release fear and embrace calm’ or ‘I welcome peace and balance into my body.’
Remember you are doing this because your voice carries a unique healing signature energy, which can resonate with your cells and facilitate profound transformation. Research has shown that sound and vocalization can positively affect cellular health, promoting relaxation and well-being. Embrace this opportunity to connect your mind, body, and spirit as you create a harmonious environment for healing.
Daily Practice - Dedicate time each day—morning or evening—to play your recording and follow along with your own movements, and let your voice be the gentle guide that brings you back to your centre. With each session, feel the calming energy flow through your body, and observe how your nervous system gradually becomes more balanced and grounded.
Journal your Changes - After each session, jot down your feelings in a journal. Note any shifts in your body, emotions, or mind-set. Are you more calm or centred? Every insight, big or small, contributes to your transformation.
Share Your Journey - After 21 days of practice, email me your experiences. What changed for you physically, emotionally, and spiritually?
I want to hear how this exercise has supported your journey and transformation! Your story may inspire others, and I’m excited to learn about your progress.
Take this challenge, commit to your healing, and let’s see what unfolds. I can’t wait to hear from you :)
