Balance&Blessings- Fall2011

The summer sizzle is just about to simmer down as we slowly fade into another season.  The Fall Equinox (September 21st) is the point when the nights begin to grow longer than the days.  Fall is the ideal time for introspection and expressing gratitude for yet another harvest.  Reflecting on all that you have received and learned, the experiences and people who have deepened your awareness in some way are all ways we can honor our inner harvest.  Showing love and appreciation for our monetary and spiritual abundance, even if it seems you are constantly struggling, will align you with gratitude which ultimately brings more things to be grateful for. 

As we truly enter into the realm of appreciation many will find that balance needs to be restored.  Reflecting over our experiences and relationships may cause us to stumble upon some resentment or trip over excess baggage or stagnant energy.  This is an indication that it is time to release!  Whatever it is that is in the way, whether it be unfulfilled intimate relationships, draining interactions with family/colleagues, shady/opportunistic business associates….let it go.  Or how about our own mediocrity, procrastination, self sabotaging thoughts, fear of success, the list goes on and on.  Whatever the blockage is for you LET IT GO… doing so will position you in a place of peace and receptivity. 

Why bother with all of this spiritual energy alignment stuff anyway?  Well, if you are truly serious about gaining control over your life, freeing yourself from negative cycles and unfulfillment you must put in some work.  And yes, ALL of this work will pay off, it always does!  Every time we express even the most trivial of desires along with a little belief, there is always a shift.  We determine how significant or insignificant that shift will be in our lives.  

Simply put, look at what you have, whatever it is and give thanks for it. 

In the coming weeks consciously find ways to apply gratitude and balance in your career, spiritual and love life.  Clear out and release anything that you know is truly not in your best interest.  Use this fall to prepare so that the seeds you will be planting in the winter will yield a cycle of increased wealth health and positive relationships.
