Autumn definitely feels like it's here. On a recent walk, I sat and meditated amongst the fallen leaves and fruit, displaced by the recent autumn winds.

In Zen, Autumn is the season of letting go. In the way some trees let go of their foliage and fruit, we can consider letting go of things in our lives. Possessions, relationships, fixed ideas, maybe? Things that we've held onto for too long that no longer serve us.

It's funny that in East Asian traditional medicine, the organs of this Autumn season are the large intestine and the lungs. Both of these are organs that expel waste products from our bodies.

It can be a bit scary letting go of things that we've held onto for a long time, but the best bit is that letting go equals letting come. A space opens up for new things to come into our lives.

Zen master Ummon (862-949CE) was once asked by a monk, 'How will it be when the trees wither and the leaves fall?'
'You embody the golden breeze' was Ummon's response

So true and inspiring

As our dharma friend Daniel says, kensho (seeing your true nature) is a bit like the moment when you go from seeing two black faces to one white vase in this picture. What changes? Nothing. But actually everything changes, because your perspective shifts.

You go from seeing yourself as a separate, isolated individual with a defined edge, to seeing yourself more like a wave on the ocean - with an identity that’s part of the whole. There’s no more of you or less of you, but somehow everything is different. You no longer have to participate in the individual fight for survival - because it’s not “little old me” any more.

If you can let go of something as small as the self, you can gain something as large as the universe.

You are welcome to come and join me for some Zen Yoga, where we are exploring the body's energy systems of the Autumn. Activating the Lungs and Large Intestine.
As nature around us is in the process of letting go, so we should consider things we can let go of in our lives. Things that no longer serve us. In letting go, we can let come.

Just got back from a long weekend retreat in North Wales with my Pranayama teacher Vicki Shields . It was the culmination of around six months of training, which involved a long trip to Manchester every few months for a couple of days of intense training. I was awarded my 100-hour certificate at the end.
Its been a wonderful journey exploring the breath and its connection to the body's energy system.

Looking forward to joining her on a 4-day pranayama retreat in North Wales in a couple of weeks to dive deeper into the practice of breath. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to learn from such a patient and knowledgeable teacher.
