As Mother Earth invites me to lay down on her and feel her heartbeat, I am being invited to connect with this pure unconditional love. She teaches me how to gently surrender to the cycles of life, by showing me how she is managing the seasons of life herself. As I move into the season of Fall, I get the chance to fall into her arms, to fall in the arms of the loved ones around me but most importantly to fall in my own arms. She is teaching me how I can best hold myself in the time of seasonal change. 

Times of change always bring up new challenges to face that hold new opportunities to grow, expand and create more love within and around me. These challenging times can be painful, exhausting and energetically draining, but they are important for me to be able to look behind the layers that I might have kept to protect myself in order to maintain a certain level of safety and stability. 

Back in time, fall was a season for people to harvest and prepare themselves for winter, not knowing if they would survive. So how can I, in modern day, prepare myself for the transition into my inner winter, for the time of darkness and cold? How can I create trust in the unknowing but also in the knowing that I will bring love & light into my life, despite the darkness & cold that surrounds me?
