How to reconnect with your YIN energy? ✨

There's magic and empowerment in reconnecting with your YIN energy.

So happy to speak today about the YIN energy which is related to my ruling planet :

THE MOON 🦀

Tonight will be the last Supermoon of 2022 - called Sturgeon Supermoon : This full moon involves a clash between the SUN ( the ego) and retrograde Saturn ( destruction) , which is currently in Aquarius. ( Bon chance to the Aquarius ) 🤣

The full moon brings intensity and highest energies. So do not forget to make the list of things you are GRATEFUL for as a ritual on each Full Moon in general - to enhance your "Power of Attraction" :))

This specific full moon is ideal to cut ties if you know you need to quit someone or something!

With a bit of luck, this lunation will see us all having evolved and learned lessons since this cycle started back in March 2020 - around the time the first coronavirus lockdown began.

It is about ENDINGS & RELEASING.

It is SLOW and steady and asks us to think : Where we've come from and how far we've come ... ✨

I have always been in a YANG energy.

Always reacting, screaming, rushing, forcing myself, always making huge efforts to please, always doing jobs I literally hated with all my soul for money & security purposes.

Growing-up with that belief that : "Having a stable career" makes you a good person, respectable, happy, wise & intelligent... (Jesus, I discovered the smallest minds/brains in the biggest companies 🤣 , but this is another topic that needs an entire article.. or book!)

I was hoping for years that at some point in my life I would get the

"WHY" I was doing all this - WHILE just "doing it" without over-thinking too much...

"I was told so" & "everyone is doing so" = logically, it was the right thing to do.

The only right direction.

The right path.

My truth was different - in reality I felt so trapped behind the walls of the luxury industry.

That feeling of suffocating in my suit - that feeling of not being able to move in my high heels.

That growing frustration was killing me from the inside.

Questions I was trying to drown started to arose every single day - torturing me.

Awakening me...

"Why was I still not growing emotionally, why was I still not independent and feeling accomplished as a young adult ?

Why was I everything but not stable in such a so called stable life.

Why was I never alone but always feeling so lonely?

Why was I feeling so different?

Was there nothing else beside the well known : " metro, boulot, after-work, dodo" , "le train-train quotidien" , quoi.

At some point, without knowing anything, still being lost and stuck - I decided to make a short trip to Rome to join my best friend Axel, my compass in life since I am 14. I was not expecting anything from this trip - I just had that impulsion ( that I now call my intuition), took my flights and there he was - welcoming me at the airport, with his mocking smile and opened arms that felt like HOME.

I am not sure if he inspired me by being himself in a YIN energy and by living an opposite life from mine - meaning : going with the flow, working & travelling in not too stressful nor demanding environnements by choice, learning a new language, taking time before replying, breathing (lol) , speaking with purpose, enjoying the silence and the loneliness, taking the time to stop; watch leafs falling from the trees and dancing with each other - with that sparkle in the eyes... I will always remember that moment clearly; me observing him so astonished with big eyes and a sincere smile, coming from the whole heart, a smile I did not have for a long time.

He gave me that feeling of freedom I was seeking for so long, without knowing nor telling me anything - he just unlocked something inside me, by just BEING.

At some point, without knowing anything, still being lost and stuck - it just clicked.

And oh - it was only the beginning of my path towards healing and inner-exploration in Autumn 2017.

When I returned, I gave my notice to my well paid career path in France & Switzerland after years of over-trying, over-forcing myself to fit in.

I left my nice apartment and said goodbye to the comfort that was so uncomfortable to me.

And this is how randomly - The good luck brought me to Ireland :)

In Ireland I started to channel all this "Albanian fire" inside me, as my friends call it, by starting to hike very often. As hiking and outdoor activities in general are very accessible without needing a car like in my hometown in France for example.

I discovered the PEACE of being surrounded by the WILD and the autonomie of going and doing stuff by myself!

The freedom of needing nothing and nobody.

It's how I started to remplace and fulfil my achievement, performance, endurance, & perseverance values and needs physically. A total different way I was doing so far.

After a while the pride and the empowerment I was feeling left space to an empty feeling of ... "What now?"

I wanted more of this - I was not able just to relax and enjoy the reward of the view on the top ! ✨

_

I started to cry and asked myself :

" Why do I feel so empty once I achieved that goal, I over performed, reached that top without stopping one single time... ?"

The never-satisfied voice replied :

"Because then it’s over - I do not have to make an effort anymore..."

Let's call the second voice Grateful- was screaming trying to take the lead over never-satisfied :

"Just sit there and enjoy that amazing view, well-done you !"

"Breath! Rest! Why do you cry? Ok - let it out".

And while I was in my voice-dialogue introspection the answers came to me instantly and I felt such a relief....

I understood that my aversions were (and still working on it) - definitely endings, routine

(Hi, paradoxe 🌗) - lack of effort.

Impatient, hyperactive I need to move again. To run again.

Fun fact - even in the office times my colleagues at Microsoft were like :

« Jona, why are you always running ».

My reply was : « Life is too short to walk ». 🤣

Anyways, it takes time to go from one point to another.

That’s also life. And so what ?

Why do we always rush, force ourselves, push harder, try to find the logic behind what just does not feel good in out chest or wherever you feel it in your body.

Do you make time to feel your body?

Just stop. 🧘🏻‍♀️

My not so new friends now "Meditation & Yoga" entered my life in February 2021 to finally unlock my "Yin" energy, and leave more space to Grateful. 🤣

Reconnecting with my YIN energy makes me slow down, think, enjoy being on my own AND doing NOTHING but feeling, really connect with nature, sleep a lot, write a lot and boosts my creativity.

Connecting with my YIN energy also means ... really listening to myself and challenging my ego that always wants more, that ego that kept me for so long in that "survival mode" to protect me from that fear of not being enough = being abandoned.

Reconnecting with the YIN energy means enhancing self-confidence and sensuality, intuition, clarity, moving with purpose.

Reconnecting to your YIN energy means - taking your power back.

“Always remember that you are the observer and not the doer. Do not take life to be anything more than acting. Don’t identify yourself too much with the action. Whether you are a wife or husband, a businessman or client, don’t get too involved. Don’t lose yourself in it, for you are simply playing a role in the play. Keep outside of it, and within yourself. These are all necessary parts of life. You must go to work, it is necessary. The play is delightful if you see it as play, but it is fatal if you take it to be life. There is no reason so disrupt your life. You have to play the part that life has given you.” OSHO

Refill energy - To then be able to ACT, not react.

The break is needed, take it when you feel it. Do not wait.

There's magic and empowerment in reconnecting with your YIN energy.
