Cant believe Autumn is here again! My favourite time of the year. Autumn is traditionally seen as a period of changes leading to the dark of winter but in the Old Celtic year, autumn is actually the beginning of the cycle.
It brings us to a deeper awareness that we live in a continual cycle of dying and rising.
The autumn leaves changing colours are actually the trees beginning to pull energy inward for the coming hibernation of winter. The chlorophyll in the leaves decreases and the vibrant shades we witness are the tree's true colour.
At this time of year, we are called to reflect and invited to surrender our masks and become more truly who we already are. With autumn’s energy of release, we are asked to consider the things, habits, beliefs, and attitudes that we are being called to let go of in the coming days.
Letting go of unwanted things, beliefs and even people and allowing and accepting more of who you really are, always involves some pain and suffering, and requires reflection and loads of compassion for oneself and everyone around you. As much as possible, relax, enjoy it and celebrate the process as. Know that letting go, as children are so good at, it the key to your growth and development throughout your life.
