When in doubt, hit the textbooks! I’ve mentioned that the element of Earth is viewed as the end of each season, but my shiatsu text specifically indicates it as the last ten days of the season. This is a time of stillness and preparation for the new season, and as we feel the temperatures cool down and we see the leaves beginning to turn, it’s possible to believe autumn is truly on the way. How are you seeking stillness? What comes to your awareness when you are able to let yourself be still?
I’m much more experienced in the alchemical and esoteric view of earth, which associates it with the home and careers and money. Heading into harvest season is also a great time to take stock of your financial situation. Historically, money matters have terrified me, yet I have always been able to find some calm by taking a look at my accounts and making spreadsheets and seeing exactly where I find myself.
Can you believe I’ve paid around $250 so far this year in processing fees for credit card transactions? I would argue that processing fees are already unfairly high for small businesses, so imagine how unjust I find it as a solo entrepreneur! This isn’t just about the fees I pay; if you’re anything like me, you don’t pay down your statement balance each cycle, so chances are you’re paying interest on your self-care. Ouch!
I will be raising my fees on all services by $10 effective January 1, 2025. I will also be applying a $10 discount (before promo codes) for clients who pay using cash, e-transfer, or direct billing. If you’re insured by a company other than Sun Life, let me know and I will look into setting up a care provider profile to expand my direct billing options for you!
Remember, I am offering 50% off one session per client for the month of September! Check out my calendar for availability and set up a moment to be still, feel the earth turning us into a new season, and embrace a moment of increased awareness of your body and yourself.
