Nourish the Seeds of Possibility Within

The dictionary defines autumn as a period of maturity or incipient decline. Now when I first read incipient decline my heart sank and I thought - "there is no way I am writing about incipient decline." But then again, what if that incipient decline was letting those seeds, those habits I developed so long ago, mature into the next phase of life. Isn't that precisely what the season of autumn is? ...The time when mother nature sheds her past and nurtures the seeds of possibility to bring forth new life.

We, as human beings, also need a time to renew ourselves and to nourish the seeds of possibilities within.

NOURISH YOUR MIND

As a seed lies dormant in the darkness of winter it does not try to fix itself, wish for a different environment or seek to bare another fruit. Rather, the seed trusts that as the seasons change it will be nurtured by the darkness that surrounds it and warmed by the light of the world that awaits its perfect fruits. You too have everything you need to bring forth the fruits of your life into the world.

Take time to discover what nourishes you. Ask your higher self:

* What is it that I would like to change?
* What are the things that I am most curious or passionate about?
* Where can I allow the light of awareness to shine so that my inner
being can more fully blossom in the world?

Take time to journal these questions and notice the sensations that arise in your body as you explore the answers. Trust that feeling of expansion, vitality and life. The fruits you bring to the world are unique and precious. They are filled with the nectar of your interest, the richness of your experience and the essence of your soul.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

Setting a clear intention for the next few months can change your life forever. As you move through fall and into the winter months allow yourself time to simply nurture your spirit. Those seeds of change welling inside of you might seem dormant and illusive. However, you can trust that mother nature is working her magic and that come spring you will see things in a new light.
