When the universe broadcasts a clear message not one, but three times, in a very condensed period of frame, that gets my attention!The message was about releasing or flowing with a challenge as compared to carrying/grasping or pushing against it.
Here we are in the holidays – the ultimate season of remembrance, giving, and dedication. We practice rituals in which we light candles in gratitude for and celebration of family life and unity (Kwanzaa – Dec. 26-Jan. 1, African), in remembrance of those who are no longer with us (St. Lucia Day – Dec. 13, Scandinavian), legendary journeys (Las Posadas – Dec. 16-24, Mexican), and to acknowledge ancient miracles (Christmas – Dec. 25, Christian; and Hannukah – Dec. 2-10, 2018, Jewish); we share gifts (Boxing Day – Dec. 26, United Kingdom); and we eat special foods (Ōmisoka – Dec. 31, Japanese).
Simple gratitude practices such as remembering our blessings and making a gratitude list on a daily basis can reduce negative emotional states, improve our happiness, and enhance our mental health and well-being.
Fall is probably my favorite season, and part of the reason is Halloween, and the centuries-old ritual or custom of wearing costumes, or ”guising” (impersonating the spirts or souls of the dead)...
Letting go is a way of celebrating this Fall season, when deciduous trees shed their leaves. It also symbolizes taking action towards a lighter and potentially more authentic way of being in and enjoying life.
Nature provides a supportive and healing environment in which to slow down, be in the moment, and reflect on those changes.
