The Soul and Fall Time

Fall Time

So, what's on your agenda for Fall?  Probably Halloween and Thanksgiving preparations.  Anything else come to mind for Fall?  Used to be the start of school, but most kids now do that while it's still summer.  Oh and now the big push is for all the pumpkin spice latte or whatever other "fall-type" flavor gets hyped.  Seems a little bit boring if you ask me.  Of course, I know you didn't ask.  But I decided to go ahead and share a bit more about what Fall Time agendas might look like, if we really wanted to go deep.

Fall Time comes after Summer Time, which is all about planting.  So, it makes sense that Fall Time is all about...

Harvest!  

So, if you were to humor me and go deep instead of just drinking one more cinnamon flavored drink, what might you be ready to harvest in your life this year?  What have you been tenderly caring for and gently nourishing for the past 3 months?

Any idea?  I hope so, cause it's time.  You got three months to reap the fruits of your labors. This is if you take any stock in working with the seasons.  I know we live in a time when we can almost forget about seasons.  We can get almost any fruit or vegetable at any time of year.  We can experience the exact type of weather we want in the moment just by driving or flying to another part of the world.  We have options.  At least some of us do.  Others of us are not able to be quite so mobile or have endless resources to buy whatever season we might take a fancy to today.

Problem with that, is that's all artificial.  There are prices to pay for not living in harmony with nature and blooming right where you are planted.  If you lean to agreement with this, you may want to rethink your fall agenda.  

Can you take a few minutes to stop?  To get quiet and still?  To ask your deeper self if there's something that is ready to come to the surface and live more completely and center stage than it has been doing?  If you are living within the seasonal shifts, you might already know exactly what is ready for harvest.  But, if you haven't, this may cause a bit of unease.

That's really OK though, cause being uneasy may mean you are very close to discovering gold.  Gold ready to be dug up and purified.  Let yourself listen in, then move it.  Take the steps you need to bring forth your soul's bounty.

Your soul is waiting for you to recognize and claim its gifts.  In this time of harvest, won't you begin to reach out your hands and gather in the prize?

Steps to Harvest:

1.  Identify what it was your soul planted this Summer.

2.  Recognize if you have completed the preliminary steps needed for growth.

3.  Get busy and complete those steps if not yet done.

4.  Create a ceremony to honor your work.

5.  Enjoy!

In love,
