Congratulations on the autumn equinox! This day is not only about the balance of day and night, but also about the balance within us: between “doing” and “being,” between external successes and inner fulfillment.
In 2018, we celebrated this date as the anniversary of a major planetary reset: we began to master a new state where it’s not so much about achieving as it is about simply being yourself and enjoying life.
What the broadcast was about
- Why the energy of the autumn equinox is especially powerful, and the flow of change is felt several days before and after the holiday
- How to work with this flow: not to intensify conflicts and tension, but to focus on harmony and your own balance
- What is the difference between “doing” and “being”: why it’s important to learn to fill up from within, not just chase external achievements
- Why you should celebrate your personal victories, even if they are invisible to others — and how to shift from the “I must earn it” mode to the “I am valuable just as I am” mode
- Practice: a journey into the Cave of Doing (letting go of old merits, external “labels” and significance), and then into the Garden of Being, where we feel the inner joy of simple presence
Meditation “Cave of Doing, Garden of Being”
Purpose of the meditation: To free yourself from the pressure of external “labels” and roles, let go of the urge to constantly prove your worth, and allow yourself to simply be — with joy and acceptance.
In the practice, you descend into your inner “cave of doing,” where all your achievements, diplomas, victories, and even failures are gathered. You thank them, let them go, and transform them into energy. Then you rise into the “garden of being,” where you catch the feeling of true fulfillment — not for something, but just because. You experience the joy of being yourself and anchor this new state in your body.
Main Steps:
- Deep breathing, grounding, attention on the body
- Descent into the cave of doing, reviewing all your achievements and roles
- Gratitude and letting go — everything that no longer serves you
- Ascent into the garden of being — contemplation, acceptance, the joy of simply being
- Experiencing and anchoring the feeling of fulfillment and self-respect
- Solidifying the state in the body, gentle return
For Self-Reflection
- What are you grateful to yourself for this year? What personal victories and changes do you want to acknowledge?
- Where in your life is there still more “doing,” and where would you like to add more “being”?
- How does your sense of self change if you remove external achievements and simply be yourself?
- What brings you genuine inner pleasure and peace today?
Can I do the practice again?
— Yes, return to it whenever you feel you’ve fallen back into the race of “doing.”
What if it’s hard to let go of external labels?
— Allow yourself small steps, notice simple joys, and seek new sources of fulfillment within.
How to solidify the state of being?
— Spend more time in nature, enjoy simple pleasures, connect with your body and true feelings.
May this day bring you a sense of balance, inner worth, and the joy of being yourself. Let go of the old — and open yourself to a new state where it is enough to simply be!
