Warmest blessings at Samhain 🍁🍂🌰 time again to acknowledge the flow of energy around us and the change of the seasons. Softly we move into the quieter, reflective part of the year. The bright abundance of the summer has eased into this more yin, inward looking time.
Allow your energy to embrace this change, spending time reflecting on your year, perhaps planning for the time ahead, embrace the cosy moments - sat around a fire, snuggled up listening to the patter of rain, appreciating the beautiful autumnal colours and enjoying nourishing, warming meals.
Bring some of the autumn into your home, oranges, deep reds and warming earthy colours. The aroma of orange, cinnamon, spice in your oil burners and perhaps create a small altar with acorns, pine cones, orange candles and pumpkins 🎃
This is a wonderful time to let go, to release. In Chinese medicine, Metal is the element of the autumn - usually associated with
The Lung and Large Intestine organs and meridians
Sadness and grief
Appreciating value and quality
Embracing our spirituality
Spicy, pungent, warming foods
The energy of the west
The aroma of decay - think of autumn leaves underfoot
And releasing, letting go
Recognise and honour these qualities in your own energy - this is a time to reflect on your ability to let go of emotions, memories and habits that no longer serve you and to appreciate the qualities and values you have.
Wishing you a blessed Samhain 🎃🌰🍂🍁 hugs
