Fall...A Time To Learn and Evolve
Fall is such a spirited time and season. It touches all of the senses and evokes feelings of comfort and change all in one. Many welcome Fall and are ready for the change in Season. While some resist and want the summer months to stay.
I love the Fall Season. It ignites my spirit and my senses in this season are comforting and grounded. I have read a few things about the Season that I would like to share here, as this season brings lessons and reminders as we are constantly learning, growing, being, and awakened in our intentional living.
Change
The season is a time of change and a reminder that change is inevitable and healthy. We resist change at times because we might have fear of the unknown or feel less in control. We all need to be reminded that we don’t have to take on that burden. We are guided, and the Universe has our back. Welcome in change, and lean into those feelings of delight and discovery (as opposed to fear and resistance).
Letting Go
The leaves teach us the shedding that occurs each season. While it is necessary, it is also spiritually aligned with letting go. I believe life and our experiences are a process of letting go. We create attachments to things that are truly not ours. We try to control things that are just not in our control nor should they be. Letting go is the gateway to Peace. It is a process and an important step in alignment and flow. What are you holding on to that you need to let go of? How can you release what is no longer serving you, and lighten your heart and soul?
Harvesting
While the crops turn over, and the frost is upon us, there is a harvesting happening and seeds being planted that will later grow and bless us. It is underground. We can’t see it. We need to believe that the work we are doing when we don’t see results is a reflection of how life often works. Tend to your garden, and show up on the days there is not anything to see or proof of growth. Have faith that your work will create abundance in the seasons ahead.
Comfort
This is a season of comfort, from food, to festivities, to warm drinks, warm homes, and a crackling wood fire outdoors or warmth from the hearth indoors. There is a cozy feel to the season, from clothing to conversations and the shorter days bring an opportunity to cozy up. Home is a sacred space for many. Our homes should be a place where we retreat, and feel comfort, joy, peace, and love.
Growth
While we don’t see it happening, we are in a process and evolution of growth. Growth comes out of both synergy and challenges. Everything happens for a reason. Seasons are opportunities. They are times when we change and shed what no longer serves us. In this season, most of the growth goes unseen. It is energy and transpiring that will rebirth in a new season.
Love
Love is everywhere every season! We must lead with it, lean into it, and align with it. In doing so we will attract more of it into our lives. This spirit and energy are best ignited in family life or at home when our hearts are full and we have more love to give. We must receive that love each day—filling our cups each day with positive thoughts, positive feelings, and love for ourselves and others.
Fall is a great time for intention setting.
While we grow and evolve, we restore this unforgettable feeling inside that the season brings. I like to call it the “warm and fuzzies”, which is the spirit and love you reside in as you enjoy the comforts of home and the beauty of the season.
