Autumn is the season of letting go and turning inwards and releasing what no longer serves us - be that old thought patterns, relationships, habits or the environment we live in. Removing the old and the stale and in doing so reveal what truly matters to us. At this time we look to removing anything that veils or masks our true self.
The emotion for Autumn is grief.....saying goodbye to summer and cutting ties from what doesn't connect us to our true selves. Sometimes we hold onto old habits that we know are bad for us as we fear change. In Autumn we begin the process of reflection, repair and release. A falling away of outward energy.... old leaves fall back to the earth to nourish the soil for the growing seasons to come.
