The October Fast: The Covenant Midwife
Earth Star Chakra Persona
October opens with the archetype of The Covenant Midwife, guardian of beginnings and keeper of consent. In the hidden chamber of the Earth Star Chakra, she tends the scrolls of covenant, ensuring that what enters life does so in alignment with God’s will. This month’s seven-day fast invites us into her wisdom — to pause, to listen, and to honor the sacred process of gestation.
Like the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, who refused Pharaoh’s command and safeguarded Israel’s destiny (Exodus 1:15–21), this persona teaches us that beginnings are fragile yet powerful. By aligning with her essence, we remember that every covenant, every purpose, must be received in patience and carried in light.
This fast is not simply about abstaining from food — it is about opening the soul to hear a deeper “yes” or “no,” to clear away coercion, and to enter the new season with clarity and reverence.
Theme: Soul Contracts · Consent · Sacred Gestation
📖 Opening Prayer (Day 1)
“Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own” (Exodus 1:21).
Heavenly Father, grant me the courage of the midwives — to fear You above all else, to guard what You have planted, and to walk in reverence as I enter covenant with You this month. May every “yes” be Spirit-born, and every “no” be honored as sacred protection.
🌿 Daily Practices (Days 2–6)
- Journaling Prompt:
“What covenant am I consenting to carry into this season?” - EFT Tapping:
Release coercion, release fear, release any contracts not aligned with Spirit. Breathe in consent. Breathe in clarity. Align with the soul’s “yes.” - Visualization:
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Imagine yourself entering the threshold chamber of the Earth Star — a dim yet luminous space beneath your feet. In the center lies a woven cradle of light where several scrolls are resting. Each scroll represents a potential covenant, contract, or purpose awaiting birth.
You pick up one scroll. As you hold it, notice how it feels in your hands and heart:
If your soul feels warmth, expansion, or peace — that is Spirit’s “yes.”
If your soul feels heavy, constricted, or uneasy — that is Spirit’s “no.”
The “yes” means: This covenant belongs to me. I am ready to know what it is and carry it into this season.
The “no” means: This does not belong to me. I release it back to Spirit to be tended elsewhere.
Stay with the Midwife as she gently helps you sort the scrolls — keeping what is yours, releasing what is not. You don’t need to rush. Let her guide you with patience, care, and reverence for consent.
When you finish, hold the scroll(s) that are yours against your heart and whisper:
💬 “This covenant is mine to carry. It is sealed in light.”
🕯 Closing Ritual (Day 7)
Place a white candle beside a bowl of water. Whisper your soul’s covenant into the water. As the flame glows, pour the water into the earth, sealing your agreement in sacred trust.
EFT Tapping Session: The Covenant Midwife
Find a quiet place, take a deep breath, and gently tap 5–7 times on each point as you speak the words aloud or in your heart.
🕊 Setup Statement (Karate Chop Point)
“Even though I may carry contracts or covenants that were made without my true consent, I deeply and completely love, honor, and accept myself.
Even though some agreements may have been forced, tangled, or imposed, I now release them and align only with God’s will.
Even though I sometimes doubt my ability to discern Spirit’s ‘yes’ and ‘no,’ I open my heart to clarity and trust the covenant that is mine to carry.”
