Autumn has set in, the colors are gloriously changing, and the trees are letting go of and releasing their leaves. As we welcome a new season it is important to honor the wisdom that it brings and follow nature’s lead. What is it in your life that you need to change, release and let go of?
Have you ever been a part of something, had a job, a volunteer position or a relationship that you know is not serving you. Do you hear the little voice, your inner voice whispering to you over and over again to let that go and move on? How often do you ignore it? That little voice is your soul speaking to you, your intuition guiding you. When we ignore that voice enough times we can manifest physical disharmony, symptoms, and illness as a way to wake us up, to get us on path, and to live in authenticity.
It takes courage to let go of what we know no longer serves us, but when we take the leap, trust in ourselves and the universe, it is amazing what happens to the physical body. A feeling of liberation and freedom take over, deep exhales of relaxation flow through, your light shines brighter, cellular and soul vibration elevate and simultaneously tensions, frustrations, aggravations, and gravitations fade, symptoms improve, emotional eating calms down, weight is shed, harmony is felt and from this place, healing can begin.
We often fear our symptoms, fight them, attack them with medications and resent our body or blame others for being unwell. But what if we saw the gift within our symptoms? What if we leaned into what our body was trying to tell us, to finally listen to the messages and the inner calling of our soul? What If the imbalances in our body were a symbol of the imbalances in our life? What if they were here to help us get back to our center?
Change can be challenging for some people. It can trigger resistance, anxiety, stress, emotional eating, digestive upset, and panic. But if we learn to embrace change, it can teach us to let go, to breathe, to lean in, to trust, and to surrender. It can put us on the path we are meant to be on. When we approach change from this conscious place we are able to receive the lessons, the benefits, and the gifts of walking through a new door.
As the trees are releasing their leaves and letting go of what they no longer need, what is that you can let go of this Fall that will allow you to make space for what you know your soul is asking for.
Embrace the season, embrace the power of change.
