Autumnal Thoughts

As Autumn has arrived for her stay with us in preparation of the long

cold nights of winter. We know this time of year is not only of harvest –

The harvesting of the abundance of fruits of labor and storage of that

abundance for preparation of those long cold nights of Winter —

But it is also a time of release.

We witness the trees shedding their offspring of leaves born just

months ago for preparation of new growth to be re-born in the Spring.

If we were to take this birth-live-release-rest cycle of life to our inner

world —- from the gross (material) world to the subtle world — the one

within – your True Self – the witness to your human existence – what

would that world inspire you to release?

Do you need to release something only born in the Spring of this

current time – or do you need to release that which arrived in the Spring

of many moons ago?

What can you release now in this current Autumn of your life?

What can you release now so that upon the arrival of Winter – the

months of rest and solace for healing in preparation of the Spring – the

time for rebirth and growth to be open for the joyous celebration in the

shining sun of Summer? What can you release?

If it takes a tree the cycle of a year to transform – understand that your

healing journey is a process – one that needs to travel through

seasons, whether by human standards or by the Devine – but a journey

that cannot be travelled on, unless one travels through the cycle of

birth, living, releasing and rest.

Know this is my wish for you – not only may your sunrises hold more

promise and your sunsets hold more peace but may you Release,

Rest, Grow and Live.

Know that I have so much love to give you.

Namaste,

Jenn
