The Still Point Within the Storm

October’s Full Moon always arrives with contrast. The air sharpens, the light shifts, and everything in nature begins to move. Storm Amy sweeps across Europe this week, and the winds mirror what many of us feel inside: a stirring, a restlessness, a call to release what no longer needs to be carried.

Autumn is the season of Vata — the dosha of air, space, movement, and transition. It is a time when we are invited to slow down even as the world around us speeds up. To anchor deeper even as the winds swirl. To trust that stillness is not the absence of motion but the steady centre beneath it.

This is the heart of this week’s MoonNidra. It is a guided practice designed to help you find that still point. To soften the impulse to control. To honour what has grown. To release what is ready to fall away. And to receive what has been waiting to arrive.

This practice is not about fixing or improving. It is an invitation to remember. To return. To rest.

Practice Focus

* Body focus: Heart and upper back, the landscape of receiving, emotional steadiness, and soft expansion.

* Theme: Stillness amidst movement, receiving light, releasing control.

* Seasonal support: Full Moon in October, Harvest energy, Vata season, storm clearing.

Journal Prompt

As the winds shift and the season changes, take a moment to notice what offers you stillness. It might be a breath that grounds you, a simple daily ritual, or a space that feels deeply safe and steady.

Ask yourself:

* What anchors me when everything around me is moving
