In the northern hemisphere, the end of summer has arrived, with all the mature fruits that this moment of the year brings. Around the world, day and night they are in perfect balance, reminding us of the opposites that are part of a whole: female-masculine, light-darkness, out-within, life-death. From now on the days will be shorter, taking us to the winter. There is a change in Earth’s energy, which begins to go down to the roots, inviting us to go more inwards.
Equinoxes and solstices are four of the most powerful moments of the yearand when we pause and connect with the energy of what is happening naturally on Earth, we open to collect many fruits. This metaphor is especially significant in the autumn equinox!
I share 3 questions to ask you these days, inspired by Christine Arylo’s writings. Before answering, look for a quiet place where you feel relaxed, or alone or with other people, to listen to the answers that come out of you.
1. Now is the moment of harvest. Of all the things that you have dedicated your time, energy, money and love, what is ready to harvest now?
Write everything that comes to you, do not cut yourself. And in the end, appreciate your harvest.
2. The time begins to separate the grain from the wheat. Is there anything in your life that could limit you in the process of collecting your harvest? Any fear, a critical voice, a limiting thought, a relationship?
Take it to the light of your consciousness and visualize the leaves of the tree that begin to fall: without any effort, they go down to the earth to disintegrate and make fertilizer. Loose everything that can stop you in your collection.
3. With the awareness that winter will arrive in a few months, What will you need to feel careful and protected during the colder and more dark months? How will you prepare this fall? Where do you want to focus your energies these months?
Keep your answers in a special place, to nourish you throughout this new station.
Happy Autumn Equinox!
