October's Echo's & Invitations!

I wonder if you, like me, often feel an increase in the willingness to 'get creative' and to 'get things done' from September into October?

I also inevitably feel the 'pull' to clean and clear -- I don't really do 'spring cleaning', but I always do Autumn clearing in my home and space.

Given that metaphysically, Autumn's energetics are about Harvest, Introspection, and letting go of what no longer serves---it makes perfect sense that we would feel the pull to clear, clean, organize and be willing to 'let go' of what no longer serves.

It is also however, a time to 'invite' the thoughts, inspirations and insights that want to 'winter' with us - having our attention and intention to 'grow' and be ready for 'planting and implementation' with Spring's return.

Lean into your own Inner Wisdoms, and be in a space of Curiosity----What is ready to be released? To be 'turned into mulch' for Self Growth and Discovery?

Here's a simple Energetic Practice to Tune Into the Energies of Autumn and what they mean for you:

Find a space to sit outdoors, preferably under or near a Tree who is shedding their leaves.

With each leaf that drifts down, allow a thought to 'bubble up' into your awareness that represents something you're willing to let go----and imagine that just as Gaia receives the leave touching the ground, and uses that energy to nourish and support the Tree so that it may bud again in spring--so too does Gaia receive the energies of the thoughts, behaviors and patterns that you are ready to release - helping to 'make room' within you for the insights and inspirations that are waiting.

Simply spending 5 mins watching how effortlessly and yes Joyfully, a tree releases it's leaves into the embrace of Gaia, and with each leaf, intend to release a thought, pattern, or habit that you are ready to either release completely, or at least in part to review and revisit---------

When this feels complete, sitting in silence --'see' what new thoughts or insights now have room to rise into your awareness.

Allow child like curiosity and enthusiasm to guide you through this exercise, and allow the inner critic to simply rest and watch the leaves.

Enjoy. Illuminate. Receive. Relax.

Blessed Be!
