HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX

THE CHANGING OF LIFE’S SEASONS

Autumn is usually the harvest season. A time of plenty and abundance. The sun starts setting early and the nights become cooler. Summer comes to an end in the Northern half of the world.
Autumn also signifies the harvest of all our efforts and intentions we set earlier in the year.

All ancient cultures around the world recognized a deeper message about the changing of seasons in the human life experience.
Winter solstice, Spring equinox, Summer solstice and Autumn equinox represented stages of inner spiritual journey that an individual takes within themselves.

Equinox means equal day and equal night, 12 hour day and 12 hour night only on the days of the Equinox. Today September 23, 2023 is the Autumn equinox. On the day of the equinox we honor the balance of night and day, light and dark in our life.

There is no light without the dark and there is no day without the night. Night comes to relax one from the business of the day and the day comes to give us joy and sunshine and energy to experience the activities of life. If there is no night , the day becomes tiring and stressful, if there is no day time the experience of life activities becomes limited.

Night and day are two sides of the same coin. They have to be embraced equally. For this reason it is important to meditate, to sit and process our thoughts, and to let go judgments and beliefs about life situations. Life situations are neutral, the meaning for everything is the meaning we give it.

When we carry with us an accumulated baggage of negative feelings, attitudes and beliefs, we are unbalanced, we feel miserable and trapped and these also become the reason for illnesses and problems in life.

Most of us spend time in running away from our inner turmoil and misery. We think we may be overwhelmed by them and try to distract ourselves with unnecessary addictions. But it is not possible to run away from feelings. The accumulated feelings continue to create painful thoughts.

The accumulated feelings are the cause of stress, the external pressure is not the cause. If you take time to notice, every reaction we have is because of a painful thought.

You cannot make yourself angry unless you have thoughts that trigger you to become angry. You cannot be sad unless you have thoughts that trigger you to sadness. When we do not address our thoughts and continue to accumulate them, we continue to react to every life situation by projecting our anger and sadness on others.

Because emotions are energy, our emotions get picked up by plants , animals and even bacteria. Painful emotions also become frequencies that invite problems into our life.

By changing ourselves we get to change the world around us. It is important to make the choice to sit with oneself and process the feelings, get into freedom and never be cornered by the feelings again.

Give yourself permission to have silent time with yourself. Connect with the feeling that comes up. Stay with it, allow it to run its course without wanting to change it or do anything about it. As you continue to sit with it, the energy behind the feeling dissipates. Once the emotions drain away, life presents solutions to the problems.

The truth is you cannot run away from the experience of the problems. Pain comes from resisting the experience. Painful thoughts continue to haunt. Just sit with the experience, fully allow it to be, then you will notice that the experience gets over quickly.

Make friends with the change. Learn to accept both the dark and the light as one. Everything is temporary, everything passes, even our worries and sorrows, they too will pass away.
When we make time to sit with our experience without judgment, we stop accumulating and bottling up negative emotions, we expand and grow in wisdom, we acquire solutions.

This Autumn season is the time of the year to go within ourselves and empty out our space of all thoughts and beliefs that do not support out life journey anymore. By this work we are honoring our own growth and light within.
We become clear vessels for Divine inspiration to flow through us. We get into freedom and light heartedness.
We live in wellbeing and ease.
Blessings!
