Equinox Digestions: The Balance Of Care

by Kasha Rosa

On the edge of this Equinox, I’m feeling a part of me that cares so deeply…

she tends to forget herself.

She wants to help, to soothe, to make things better for everyone she touches.

Animals, people, the world.

Sometimes this is about a feeling she has that she’s making up for some gap between being more self-oriented, albeit in a self-punishing way mostly, for years. Yet more and more the genuineness of her care is shining brightly.

Yet, when she’s tired, overwhelmed, full of information and emotion…

that care can start to spill past her own edges.

And then balance is lost.

Reactions and intensity take hold.

It’s not because she loves too much,

but rather that she forgets to include herself in that love sometimes.

What I’m feeling right now, both in my own life and in the world around us, is a kind of rebalancing.

Things are being revealed in ways we’re all still catching up to.

Shadow is coming into the light to be seen and felt.

Old ways of holding power, control, responsibility… are all shifting. And need to shift more still.

It can feel disorienting.

Like something is off-kilter, personally or collectively.

Like we’re being asked to navigate change without having the full map.

And in moments like that, there can be a pull to grip harder…

to fix, to solve, to carry more than is ours.

But balance isn’t a fixed state… as much as parts of us may want it to be!

It’s a return to the heart.

A noticing that says,

“I’ve gone a little too far… let me come back to myself again.”

Back into the body.

Back into what’s real inside.

Back into enoughness.

Back to the place where I can hold both what is, and what could be.

Because we need both. Truly.

We need the honesty to face what’s here,

and the vision to remember where we’re going.

Without that vision, we drift.

Without that grounding, we overwhelm.

This Equinox feels like a potent invitation to meet the world as it is, without losing sight of what we dream it can become…inside and out.

And, to offer our care from a place that includes us too is the deeper need.

It’s not perfectly balanced… and it’s unlikely to ever be so… but we can be willing to return, again and again, to centre.

As often as needed.

Blessed Equinox to you! ♥️🌸

Love,

Kasha
