Autumn

Autumn's here.  Look at the photo above, can you see what appears to be a hand to the right of the red/yellow leaf.  Mother earth reaches out to touch our hearts with her last display of magical colour before Winter falls.

Autumn is truly upon us.  I love it, it makes me feel vibrant as if it's provoking/stimulating a last great effort of doing, before Winter arrives.  It's been like Summer, with cloudless skies and sunshine beating down on us in Cornwall.  The temperatute's changed, it's cooler, with a crisp coldness especially in the morning and evening but it's just beautiful.

Autumn always reminds me of my deep connection with the earth.  It reminds me of where my roots are, of how important colour is in my life.  When the mornings are cold and I can follow my breath on the air, it reminds me of the importance of my experience of life. 

Autumn reminds me that in order to create action I need to rest, recoup and plan ready for the next round of doing.  This period of Autumnal colour signals a time of focus on self healing and longer periods of meditation to connect with who I really am and also to connect and experience Reiki at a deeper level.

The last few days I've felt inclined to draw the Power symbol around me, on my left and right, infront and to my back, as well as above and below me.  I imagine the space around me, between the symbols and myself, all filled with beautiful protective, healing and glittering light with tiny reiki symbols all around.  This space is restful and protective, healing and restorative.

Something else I've found helpul:

I visualise the Distance healing symbol behind me and see it extending into my past, healing and releasing all the things that I've outgrown and that are no longer useful to me.  Sometimes this appears as a strong picture of a symbol in 3D and in bright colour, whereas at other times this changes and it becomes like beautiful, misty, glittering, dust that swirls around me and trails off into the distance behind me.

One more thing:

I've been working with the Emotional symbol more frequently.  I draw the Emotional symbol on my third eye in the morning when giving myself reiki.  I've found the last few months have been quite emotional.  Reiki has restored my strength and hope.

Try this:
Before you put on your shoes fill them with Reiki.  Visualise the symbols within the shoes and choose an intention, an example could be " I walk in love", "Today I walk with my head held high", "As I walk so I am grounded in the love of the earth".

Never neglect to treat yourself with kindness.
Reiki blessings to you.
