Fall Equinox musings

The first day of fall is a complete switch from the day before. Temperature has dropped, the first sign that is felt in the body is this nip in the air. 

I lay on the couch, basking in the sun shining through the window.  The sun and it’s slanting rays will now cover me all through the colder months.  

Manipura or the third energy centre comes into awareness triggered by the red and gold of the flowers I see on the balcony, by the colour of my wrap, and as I get up I see the remnants of the turmeric from my morning drink. 

So yes third chakra awareness and balancing is how to begin the journey into oneself.  Taking long walks to feel grounded, nurturing oneself as the days get shorter and the night falls earlier.  The seeds of existence in ones own being go dormant.  Rest and restore for the new spring blossoms. 

Fall into blessings!

A day beyond time and space...

Some time it seems there is no time keeper.  The day unfolds as eyes open, and it closes as eyes shut. 

A continuous flow - energy has opportunity to flow, unbound and unrestricted. 

I walk under trees, through winding paths, buoyant and light. 

A tall sunflower, I see leaves in a tree starting to fray their edges. 

In a food court I grab a tea and a croissant.  Watching people eat. 

I wonder if their thoughts are aligned with each bite.   They look busy.  Probably keeping up with the demands on their physical, mental, and emotional energies.   I see myself in them.  For now I am an observer, removed and distant. 

Look...

Sometimes when we revisit our state of mind which we recorded at a given time it gives us a "benchmark".  Where we can see ourself.  It's a perspective.  

Seven years later...I see this!

Today/ this month is another day to write a note to self.
