“Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’ve been thinking a lot about seasons and how, as we come from the Earth as humans, we also share the heartbeats and rhythms of the Earth. So naturally, we experience seasons in a very similar (yet, human) fashion. However, sometimes we are experiencing an internal summer, yet it’s winter outside our windows. Other times, we are mirrors for what’s happening on the Earth outside our windows. This is what alignment means. I’ve been experiencing within myself more alignment than ever before. It’s interesting that I am, for what seems like the first time, accepting her invitation and sinking into the deep, still, inky blackness of winter and beginning to understand what this time of year is really for…

Release
You can’t grow, create and manifest what you truly desire in life, if you still have blocks, barriers and the energetic remnants of trauma standing in your way.
You need to go within, look it all squarely in the eye, and release what you see. It doesn’t matter how many new outfits you have hanging in your closet and it doesn’t matter how Insta-ready that new throw/rug/cushion cover makes your place look from the outside, when you still have resistance lurking on the inside.
Reiki has helped me immensely when diving into my shadow. It heals with grace. It heals with a mighty power, yet a softness. It heals without having to relive experiences. It heals experiences we may not even be aware of from ancestral trauma to past life trauma to those deeply hidden, causing blocks we otherwise wouldn’t be able to heal or release. Utilize this season, on this hemisphere of the earth, to dive deep. So much is waiting for you on the other side of healing.
Here is some brief insight into the other seasons and what they represent so you can check in with your body and identify what season you are in.
Spring - the beginning of all things, the spark of creativity, inspiration, intuition. We have understanding and clarity when we are in the season of Spring.
Summer - Represents wonderful, playful energy with rapid growth in many areas of our lives. We have patience and realize the interconnectedness of all things.
Fall - Death and dying (in some form) making way for new growth in our lives. A deep wisdom of life experiences. We tend to want to be in deep rest and dream vividly. We have discernment and deep emotion when in the season of Fall.
