Hey

How’s your Autumn going?
 
Did you choose you since we last connected and take some time out to reflect upon how balanced you feel as we enter in to this magical Autumn season?
 
If not, I’ve posted below my own musings on how balanced I feel so far in 2019 which might support you with your own reflections:

• I have flourished in that I now truly feel I am worthy, enough, safe and secure.
• I have accomplished financial security mainly because I feel all of the above!
• The seeds I planted last year that bore the most fruit were the introduction of strong personal boundaries, my Daily Sadhana Practice (aka My Bookends).
• Because of the seeds I planted above, I harvested the fruits of a blooming heart-centred business which brought joy and abundance to not just my own life but to the lives of many other people.
• I am proud of how I have continued to CHOOSE ME.
• I feel grateful for the continued good health of my husband after his dances in recent years with a brain tumour.
• I feel really well balanced in my CHOICES.
• I feel out of balance in my physical body.
• I am aware that the imbalance I feel in my physical body has occurred because it is starting to give me signs that it is not happy. It has asked for its needs to be met by telling me it’s not at ease. An example of this is the plantar fasciitis (dis-ease) I have been suffering from this year. My body needs more grounding and some TLC!!
• The seeds that I planted last year that didn’t quite grow as I expected all relate to my own body.
• Given the reflections above I need to do more weeding and pruning in relation to my physical health to bring my mind, body and Soul back into alignment in 2020.

 
The above reflections have made me feel good!
 
I am pretty well balanced overall as I near the end of 2019 but my friend - believe me - it wasn’t always this way.
 
Just like the leaves falling from their branches in Autumn, we come to witness the balance between life and death in Mother Nature.
 
Everything is literally dying all around us and it can feel dark and yucky - but this passing is necessary for new life to grow in the spring. This is true for our own selves as well.
 
In order for us to live the most beautiful life we came here to experience, we need to let go of our dead leaves, our old beliefs, patterns and habits that no longer serve us.
 
And so, my dearest, darling you I invite you for the remainder of October to feel in to the energy of letting go:

• What are you ready to let go of?
• What leaves do you need to shed in order for new life to grow?
• What weeding/de-cluttering still needs to happen in your life? 

In November we will take the wisdom we gained from our beautiful Autumn reflections along with the internal ground we cleared through the process of letting go and begin to take the necessary steps to NOURISH and NURTURE our Soul Soil.
 
By doing this and allowing ourselves to go in to hibernation throughout the cold and darkness of Winter, we will ensure that we have fertile ground available to plant brand new seeds which will create beautiful new beginnings for us in 2020.
 
As the saying goes … “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go” … Unknown.
 
My whole life changed for the better when I finally surrendered and chose to let go of energies that no longer served me and I know you can experience this too.
 
 Speak soon, big hugs till then

Hello my dear friend

How have your “moments” been since we last connected?

• Did you immerse yourself in some I CHOOSE ME moments?
• Did you blow some bubbles?
• Did you allow your Soul to guide you to where you truly want to journey to next?

I did - and as I posted in our I CHOOSE ME Facebook page recently my Soul asked me to reflect upon this question…

“In every moment you have a choice, the question is what path will you choose?”

Over the summer I chose to reframe how I define “work” and the result was that my Soul guided me to rewrite one of my limited beliefs into a limitless one - I don’t “work” - I am instead being of “service” to this magnificent world and its inhabitants.

Interestingly, since I let go of all the busyness and abundance that the spring and summer months bestowed upon me and immersed myself in the “moment”, my Soul is now guiding me to explore even more pathways and I feel myself stepping into a new season in my life.

Talking of new seasons, this week the Autumn Equinox has arrived which officially marks the beginning of Fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

The word “equinox” comes from the Latin words “aequi” which means “equal”, and “nox” which means “night” and as such this Autumn Equinox means that the day and night are of equal length and balance.

This new season is a beautiful opportunity to examine balance in our own lives.

And so my beautiful you, as we step into a new season I invite you to reflect upon how balanced you feel.

Dig out your journal (or treat yourself to a new one), cosy up in your favourite spot with a cuppa in hand, play some soothing music and feel in to the following questions:

• How have you flourished in the last year?
• What have you accomplished?
• What seeds did you plant that bore the most fruit? 
• What have you harvested this year that has brought joy and abundance into your life?
• What are you proud of?
• What do you feel grateful for?
• In what areas of your life do you feel really well balanced?
• In what areas of your life do you feel out of balance?
• Are you aware why any imbalances have occurred?
• What seeds did you plant that didn’t quite grow as expected?
• Where do you need to do some weeding or pruning to get back into alignment?

The energy of this Autumn Equinox allows us to reflect upon the wild garden that has emerged as a result of our creations during the previous winter, spring and summer months and what is required to bring it into balance before we activate new growth in 2020.
 
As we move deeper into Autumn my wonderful friend, we will be jumping into a big pile of fallen leaves and the energy of “letting go” …can’t wait to see what we discover there!!
 
Until then be gentle with yourself and as Robert Louis Stevenson once said…
 
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant”.
 
Sending you love and golden autumnal light
