We cannot heal what we have not yet seen. This is the wisdom that inspired this new blog post, as I know too well how the veil of low mood can creep in at this time of year. I do admit, I am one of those people who loves the rain and finds the wintery weather cosy and exciting. However, that can also come with a pull to contract inwardly, so I try to be mindful to keep the path towards connection with myself clear. The longer, darker days are a perfect time to connect with our feelings so we can understand our experience. As we embrace the darkness for healing, we can start to plant the seeds for change. 🌑✨

I hope you find this blog post comforting.

If you're like me, the arrival of the dark half of the year can be both a gift and a burden. I always feel a little spiritual nudging stirring around this time. Although, I love the coziness of Autumn and enjoy the comfort of slowing down, the darker, shorter days can be tough to navigate. Tonight, as we prepare to move our clocks back once again, I hope this blog post offers a boon for your soul, offering a little light and inspiration to the darker days ahead.

As autumn deepens, I find joy in community through song, reflecting on Samhain's themes of renewal while navigating solitude.

We are human beings not human doings. We are meant to pause and rest. I find it can be hard to do when the procedural habit is to always be working. Try just a few minutes of pausing a day. Or start asking asking yourself what do I desire today? Or what do I need? Rather than telling yourself a “should” statement. Keep practicing it and notice the differences over time.
