The Earth is our ally, manifested to provide the perfect environment with all the resources necessary for life to thrive. As humans, we are intertwined and actually, unified, with the Earth Mother, Gaia, who resonates our inner state by forming our frequency energetic into the physical. Inner life begets outer life.
Energetically, we are provided with an endless higher vibration to assist our moments of living by funneling power into us and merging with our own energetic anatomy to keep us clean and purring in the frequencies we are designed to live in. We are equipped to download the residue into the Earth where it is simply recycled as energy. It works as designed when we consciously use the available tools…most are not even aware they exist. It is time to bring this idea into action and take advantage of what the Earth is gifting us daily.
Life on Earth is about cycles that are somewhat based on the definition of the year, the time it takes for Earth to revolve once around the sun. There are a lot of cycles, but we are addressing only one here.: The seasons. The positioning of the Earth and the nature of the solar orbit combine to influence the relationship of light and darkness, hot and cold, day and night. Out of this process the seasons are made manifest. Fall cycles into winter which cycles into Spring which cycles into Summer. Year after year we witness the unique characteristics, colors, moods, sensations, weather, and feel of each expression. It is reliable and beautiful. We even build our lives around addressing the unique components of each.
But there is a bigger picture in play here. Because the Earth and humans are intertwined, deeply connected, symbiotic, to be exact, we experience the seasons inwardly right along with the outward show. There are consistent elements and energies and actions that impact us profoundly…and most often we do not see them…feel them…and do not understand their capacity to serve us..
Aligning with the energy of the seasons can:
Fall is a magnificent season. It is powerful and reflective, filled with contrast, color full, comfortable and cozy,inviting, cool to cold. Fall is when you put away the light clothing and reach for the flannel shirts, the windbreaker, the LL Bean Field Coat, the boots, the sweaters. It is, for me, the best season!
Around the sun goes the earth, in a yearly cycle of changing light, energy, and mood. Fall follows the summer intensity of heat and golden color. The momentum begins to slow down as the energy is drawn inward. The days grow shorter and cooler. The weather changes and the rains start to increase. Things generally get sluggish.
The colors of Fall are the magnificent reds, oranges, and yellows. They pull one into the lower chakras where opportunity abounds to regain foundation. The energetic residue of life’s moments is called to the carpet for reflection and release. We are invited to remember and use discernment to let go. We start to think a lot more about life and our place in it. Self-examination begins to move through our moments. How is life treating us? What can we do differently? Answers do not necessarily come. It is more a process of inquiry and rhetorical reflection. Little action is taken. There is more of a quietness that falls over our being as we get ready for the deep inner hibernation of Winter.
The seasons flow in a beautiful cycle of intention in the Winter giving way to birth in the Spring, which then gives way to the growth and manifestation of the Summer. Fall picks up that zest of life and weeds through it to lay down the things that do not serve the greater good. We harvest the best and leave the rest behind for fertilizer. The death of ideas and action blow through the Winter to lead us once again into a spiraling fertility of thought and action.
We watch the leaves change color from the heart chakra green moving ever downward into the vibrant earth tones and then the browns of decay. Drawn downward and inward we reach into the very essence of the earth for support and nurturance and release. We surrender.
We are invited and directed to take inner stock of our thoughts, beliefs, actions, established patterns, energetic residue, emotional blockage...any kind of detritus that will get in the way of our returning to our design foundation that awaits us in Winter.
We go inward…we are called home to our own I Am That I Am Self.
We descend into our body via the chakras in order to take stock and let go, release the past... Nature reflects this and pulls us inward. The descent cleanses and breaks up the energetic baggage, the worn out ways, the blocks to our own thriving vitality. Look how the procession of Fall parallels the descent into and through the color frequencies of each chakra
Heart…green
Solar Plexus…yellow
Sacral…orange
Root…Red
Earth Star…Brown
What are we to let go of as this descent progresses?
Unserving thoughts
Worn out beliefs
Limiting patterns
Unspoken words
Unfelt and stored/masked feelings
Energetic Baggage
The intent of our Celestial design is to cleanse the palette of the year's living in Fall to then provide the fertile ground in which to plant the intentional seeds in Winter...the seeds that will blossom in the new year's Spring. Every year, a magical loving opportunity to spiral into a new frequency of Wholeness...if we choose...
And, therein, lies a key...consciously take action. A great deal occurs anyway even without action. But the conscious action will amplify the clearing and result in much greater flow into your True Self. Open your full heart and allow the loving arms of your own I Am Self to guide you though what you are here to do...
Some suggested actions include:
Release worn out thoughts and beliefs that keep you aligned with limitation. Here are some limiting thoughts/beliefs that imprison our expansion:
And oh, so many more...
Replace those thoughts and beliefs with higher frequency truths:
1. On all levels and in all dimensions, I now completely release all fear vibrations and frequencies and residue. I choose calmness, clarity, awareness and power to surround myself always in a loving cocoon of safety. And so it is.
2. In this moment I release, on all levels, in all my energy bodies, and in all dimensions the energetic memory and toxic residue of any experience that has impacted me and diminished my vibration of Wholeness. And so it is.
3. My health, on all levels, is dependent on the energetic baggage I carry and store within cells, tissues, chakras, DNA, and energy bodies. Consistently clearing that toxic debris of energy , thought, and belief assures my ongoing state of vitality and willingness to participate in the whole of life. I now release anything that has been in the way of my perfectly functioning physical vehicle. And so it is.
And so it is!
Take time to speak the unspoken words out loud. Set up scenarios that will allow you to say what you never said before to the perpetrators of pain in your life up until now. This process is highly cleansing and can be repeated until you have lost any charge. Expect to clear strong feelings of anger, fear, sadness...and expect and welcome tears a-plenty.
So, please, surrender to Fall. Walk in the woods and experience the changes in your viscera. Let the energy of letting go wash through your cells. Lay down the thoughts, patterns, and beliefs that cannot grow anymore. Take more time for rest and reading and reflection. Drink more tea. Have more soups. Sit by the fire. Share clear conversation about what you are done with. Weed your inner and outer garden and prepare the soil to accept the new ideas that will germinate in the months to come. Let the wind blow in your face. Get cozy and listen to the rain. Watch the clouds and pay close attention to the animals that come your way. Connect with one another. Get lots of hugs. Spend time cuddled up on the couch. Fall is the prime time for clearing the old and listening for guidance. Pay attention to the world of nature. Respond in kind and enjoy your moments. Love your whole self and be grateful…
CELEBRATE WITH GRATITUDE
”I give great thanks for the magnificent season of Fall. I am deeply grateful for opportunities it brings to reflect, release, and let go. Thank you Earth for your precious and perfect cycles that lead me lovingly through the moments of life.. For the incredible splash of lower chakra color I am grateful beyond words. And so it is!”
We hold the capacity within us by design to thrive in our moments of living. Humanity historically does not support this Truth and steers us towards a host of limitations pitched as the way it is. The Celestial Intervention of this times is a Cosmic gift of Love to break that cycle of ignorance and control...once and for all. As a Light Worker you have been ushered along the conscious path to support these transformational times. To be aligned you must first do your own inner work to realign your frequency to engage and embrace the higher vibrations of the times. By doing so you become a facilitator of Living Love for all.
Conscious use of your true design that is revealing in this awakening process is essential to allow what is in process. If the idea of working more consciously with Gaia and the Seasonal energetics then follow this link to explore the complete year long Self Care with the Seasons.
In the meantime, live in the greater knowing:
Live in the flow of surrender
(repeat this out loud as much as you can to cleanse the misinformation and amplify your receptivity to the higher frequencies that are quickly facilitating the change)
The Whole Being is akin to the perfect child state that we each have experienced many times at the forefront of each incarnation. We have to reawaken and reclaim the sense of wonder and invigorate the imagination. We have to know that nothing that appears is as it seems for there is always a higher interpretation and response. In this frequency state we must be flexible and spontaneous to allow the flow with the ever oscillating energy fields that we are made of and immersed within. It is essential that we surrender to unequivocal trusting of the Cosmos, our Higher Self, our human self, and our Inner Child Self. In fact the reunification of these elements frees the original design to reclaim its seat of overseeing our moments from the expanded state.
For now, enjoy being you. Refrain from ingesting too much daily news. Make more eye contact. Immerse your senses in experiencing the incredible Earth dimension. Experience your life through your magnificent open heart space. Know that all will work out in the highest good for all. And, please, remember and apply, "nothing is as it seems"...
