Fall is a Time of Release and Preparation

You’re irritable. You snap at your significant other or loved ones more often than not. You're tired all the time. You don't want to get out of bed in the morning. You can't concentrate at work anymore. It could be that it is time to move on in one or more areas of your life.

Fall is a good time to take stock of our lives according to the law of cycles and rhythms. Like the fruit of a tree that falls to the ground and dies, the ending of a relationship, project or goal holds the seeds for future endeavors. We must ask ourselves: What have I learned? What do I want to let go of?  What do I want to keep?
 
Although there are four seasons, there only three energies - birth, growth and completion or death. The cycle of fall now upon us is when the earth is transforming to a time of completing the change that began in spring.

While spring and winter are the beginning and end of the seasonal cycle, both summer and fall are part of the period of where growth moves to completion. Summer represents the peak of that change or transformation. Fall is when the seasonal curve moves toward completion.
 
In the fall we can begin to shed or release any of those things that we no longer need as we bring the year to an end. It is also a time when we can prepare for winter and store up the seeds of what we want to experience in the coming spring.
  
Likewise, we can look at fall as a time to spiritually prepare for both winter and spring by asking ourselves three questions: 
 
What have I learned from what I have put into creation and experienced?
 
What do I want to change, transform or bring completion in the winter?
 
What aspect do I want to keep for the coming spring?
 
This fall, ask yourself: What have I learned about myself? About my body? About my life? About society? About money? What do I want to let go of - perhaps an old belief or habit that is no longer valid? What do I want to preserve? Make those things you want to preserve your focus in winter to prepare for spring.
 
Life is about learning. Good and bad, happy and sad, there is something to be learned. Fall is a time to reflect on what we have learned, what we want to release and what we will nurture in the coming year.
