Subject: Don’t rush to be ok. ⏸️ Let yourself transform. 🌙

Hi Friend,

Have you noticed that we live in a culture that worships rushing —
rushing to do more, be more and have more than you,

rushing to heal, to “move on,” to keep up, to keep pleasing everyone and keep everything looking as it should.

We even use rushing as a justification for success:
“If I’m moving fast, I must be doing something right.”

BUT rushing…

• pulls us out of our bodies
• creates reactivity instead of clarity, peace and purpose
• plants the seeds for burnout, collapse, and self-extraction
• keeps our nervous system in survival mode
• makes emotional honesty impossible
• blocks the very safety we’re desperate for (!!)

What I’ve learned, especially this year, is that the opposite of rushing is not laziness. It’s self-respect.

As we continue into Samhain, we are now entering the dark moon phase leading into Wednesday’s New Moon in Scorpio - the moon of truth, depth, and emotional transformation.

And before we go any further, I want to say this clearly:

Don’t rush to be ok.
Allow space to let yourself transform.

And when we stop rushing, we make space for self respect:

✨ anchoring trust in the body
✨ honouring our physical + emotional cycles
✨ honouring nature’s rhythms
✨ embracing sensuality and slow creativity
✨ inner-child safety
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ choosing presence over performance

🌑 Why Your Body Feels Everything More Deeply Right Now 🌑

Welcome Friend to the real work of Scorpio season:
slowing down enough to hear what your body has been whispering all along.

Scorpio rules the psyche where we store emotional residue, the things we avoid, and the parts of ourselves that don’t get seen.

So it’s normal if your body feels intense right now.

You may notice:
• tight chest
• pressure in the throat
• restless sleep
• anxiety spikes
• tender hips + low back
• emotional “dumping” from nowhere
• old memories resurfacing
• sudden clarity about what must change

Your body isn’t betraying you.
It’s trying to help you digest what your mind isn’t ready to articulate yet.

This is why Heart Meridian work feels especially powerful this week —
it softens the chest, releases emotional armour, and helps transformation feel spacious instead of overwhelming.

🌑 The Medicine of the Scorpio New Moon 🌑

Where last month, the Libra New Moon asked for harmony with others,
this Scorpio New Moon asks for honesty with yourself.

Scorpio transforms in three phases:

Scorpion — self-protection, survival mode
Eagle — deep awareness, higher perspective and vision, piercing clarity
Phoenix — purification, regeneration, rebirth

-> This week wants the same for you:
slow down, soften the armour, and let the transformation happen in your body — not just your mind.

🌑 Scorpio New Moon Journal Prompts 🌑

Two powerful questions to take to your pen:

✨ What truth is my body trying to tell me that my mind has been avoiding?
Write without censoring — the body always speaks first.

✨ What version of me is ready to be released?
And what version is quietly asking to rise?

Even 5 minutes will shift your inner frequency.

🌙 A 1-minute Heart Practice (if you can’t join tonight) 🌙

Place right hand on your heart, left hand on your lower belly, put both feet grounded on the floor.

✔ As you inhale for 4 rise up on to the balls of your feet

(can do this seated, even at your desk)
✔ Exhale for 4 - allow the feet to fully ground gently on to the floor
✔ Repeat 10 times

This can resets the Heart–Kidney connection, bringing calm to the mind and safety to the body.

This New Moon is a doorway — you don’t have to push through it.

You can walk through supported, slow, and held.
And remember...
