A deposit of ease for November
​

​

🌿 by The Easeful Place

i hope you are well and lifted or finding safety in the words and hearts of someone or something that deeply supports you. my hope is that this newsletter can serve as that source if there seems like no other one in reach. i hope you receive that love and take a few breaths to anchor it --

Today's deposit of ease comes in the midst of Scorpio season, Mercury retrograde (as well as Saturn and others) and in time for the super full moon. i adore this time of year as far as inner transformation goes, but witnessing recent world events and a hurricane wreak life-altering damage on the island of my ancestors and loved ones has shown a literal transformation of a place, landscape and history. a reminder to not rush through what you're moving through, to acknowledge the heaviness and trust that lightness will arrive. wherever you are and however this letter meets you, please take this invitation as a space to be and move with ease.

Journal Prompts for reflection

✺ What kind of a teacher was October?

✺ What is the theme of November? How has the month already activated that theme?

✺ What feels tedious and what feels urgent?

✺ Where do you tend to hold tension in your body? Write some words that you can repeat to yourself while you massage that area.

✺ What do you need to release this full moon?

✺ Suppose love is the only option. What does this affirmation mean for how you continue on the path you are on?

​

Feel free to journal on paper, in a notes app, in an audio note, or in community. You're so welcome to share your reflections with us anonymously, named or with your community online.

From our Pinterest board: Healing Safe Space​

An activity for stillness and mindful self-realising::

3-5 minute activity. Find a quiet space in your environment or wherever your body is, bring along something to write or draw with.

imagine today is the day, while the moon is at its fullest, that you accept that love is the only option. That you present only this to yourself as you lay out your plans and roadmap. There is no other way. There is only new soil, damp and fertile after the harvest has been collected. Here, you have the quiet and stillness of this new ripe fresh start. If you feel able, close your eyes and breathe deeply into the quiet. Inhaling and exhaling slowly, only focusing on the breath through your nostrils and your body filling up and releasing this mantra: love is the only option. Try to devote some moments to this quiet space.

In this contained quiet space, open your eyes and write or draw the images that come forward. Is there a word or symbol that comes mind? Note it down in the centre of the page and envision roots sprouting beneath. If you receive more, note down what the roots need to be sturdy and supported.

This is a private practice for you.

In case you're searching for other meditation resources to support you outside of YouTube, try out Insight Timer- an app for mindfulness and meditation audio resources. At The Easeful Place accessible mindfulness resources are super important in reshaping the narrative of what it means to be present and experience inner calm. I recommend it for the times when you'd like to meditate or listen to sound healing without wanting to interact with the noise and advertising of YouTube in the early risings or times when you don't want that added distraction.
