We're in eclipse season right now, and I'm feeling it - I bet a lot of people are.
I saw a post by @rewildingforwomen that hit the nail on the head about wounds resurfacing again (I touched on this in my recent post about Vegeta). Because we're in the waning moon phase, I'm paying close attention. It's the perfect phase of the moon cycle to release what does not serve you. Whether it be through journalling, dance, meditation or emotional flow release (I have a free 4-minute meditation that does just that here).
If you scroll back to slide 7 of @rewildingforwomen's original post, she names a few of these voices and stories we tell ourselves - I'd love to know if any of them land for you too, the way mine did for me? The two I recognized in myself were I'm not enough and someone else knows better than me. Yikes.
Identifying and recognizing these isn't the end of the world - it's actually empowering. Yes, I've had to ride the waves of frustration and sadness as I realize I'm still carrying them, but that's the beauty of it. They're being shown to me so they can be released 💪
Then today, instead of the children scootering home from school, I had the intuition to pick them up, and I think my reading is exactly why. I do the school run early so I can journal beforehand. My oracle card decks often flash into my mind, letting me know which ones have a message for me before I leave.
Today it was three decks, and all three carried an uncannily similar message: about flow, slowing down, coming back into the body and into the heart, out of the mind. About listening to my intuition and guidance and shining as authentically me - not who I was programmed to be. All themes of this Leo season are echoed again in Sabrina's (@rewildingfor women) astrology video too. (Her astrology video: The Eclipse Crucible Has Begun (Don't Miss This Window).
These aren't coincidences. They're exactly the messages my soul needs to hear right now. This eclipse season is where your soul shows you where it wants to adventure, what it wants to experience And just now as I was washing the dishes, I was drawn to a song by Good Vibes Tribe — 11:11, called The Current. You can probably guess what the lyrics are about Flow. Of course 😂
It's funny, too, because this past week I've been asking Spirit exactly how I can invite in more money and this is my answer ❤
So as I teach in my Release Rebirth Rise course, on surrender and trust - I'm doing exactly that this eclipse season. Letting go of what no longer serves me, from this moment onward. I get to decide what I hold onto and what I release or, as Sabrina put it, by the time the Lunar Eclipse lands on the 27th with Chiron still stirring things up in the background - if I don't release it, the universe will. I'd rather do so gently lol 😄🦋
Let me know in the comments below what is coming up for you, let's witness each other and heal together 🦋
With love always,
Aley xx

An update about this blog

I'm Aley Young, the heart behind this blog.
It was a soft, grounded space where healing, personal growth, real food, and gentle truth meet.
A living journal - a place where I shared the moments, lessons, and inner shifts that have shaped my own journey, from nervous system healing and regulation to motherhood, identity, and becoming alongside the slower, earthier parts of life: the garden, the sourdough starter, the kitchen.
But now it is retired ...
Thank you for being here - some of you for years now.
After a lot of reflection, I've decided to step back from this chapter and follow a new calling: natural gardening. It's where my heart is right now, and I want to give it everything.
But nothing here is disappearing.
- The courses are still here - log in anytime with your existing account.
- The blog is still up to read, and the podcast is still here to listen to, whenever you like.
- Nothing is being taken away. I'm just not adding to it anymore.
If you've walked through this content with me, thank you. Truly. It mattered.
And if you're curious where I'm headed next - into the soil, into growing things, into a slower and simpler kind of healing - I'd love for you to come along.
