Autumn - a time of reflection, acceptance, letting go and renewal. The Harvest Moon has shone brightly, and its magnetic energy could be felt. In East Asia, the full moon is a symbol of family reunion and the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival is celebrated. Mooncakes 🥮 are enjoyed and lanterns are lit, guiding us through the night. Quite an auspicious time and an energy shift.
I am also reminded that Autumn is associated with the emotion of grief. A quote by Tara Brach feels true: "Grieving loss consciously is at the center of the spiritual path. In small and great ways, each of our losses links us to what we love."
As a Shiatsu practitioner, I try to live and work consciously and connect to others with grace, understanding, compassion, empathy and gratitude.
Keep well, friends.
With love,
Dawn
