Fall brings with it a new rhythm that we see with the turning of trees, the shift in temperatures and the falling of leaves to the ground
Summer’s energy is chaotic and not as neat and organized as what we may experience with the energy of Fall. New notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons and school supplies are just screaming for organization.
A fresh start.
Order.
Repetitive rhythm that calms and feels cozy and comfortable.
Now, if you work in the schools, you might feel differently, but for those of us who don’t work at the school, the smell of that crisp autumn air is the reminder that we can indeed have a bit of calm and clarity again.
But even with the rhythm of life changing around us as we move towards the transition into Autumn, we can still have remnants of the big chaotic energy of summer lingering in our overthinking minds. So to that, I answer with tools to help remind us to come back to center.
So that we can indeed reconnect with who we are being called to become in this world.
Because, Reader, sometimes we just need a little help clearing away the excess so that we can hear that still, small voice within that’s calling you into higher purpose.
Fall is nature’s reminder to pause, harvest what’s come to fruition, and let go of what no longer serves, but it’s hard to do that when you can’t get away from the noise in your head. So I’m inviting you today to give yourself permission to take just 90 seconds to burn off that excess and ground into your expansive potential.
Because, yes, you can be both fully expansive and grounded in your purpose at the same time. And here’s a practice to help you get there.
Breath of Fire How-to:
Breathing in and out of your nose, take an easy breath in through your nose, then, almost as though someone is punching you in the stomach, forcefully exhale, follow that up with a short passive inhale, then another forceful exhale. Without overthinking it, let a rhythm find you and take 20-30 breaths to begin with.
If you want a deeper experience like this, we’ll be doing just that at the Harvest Rhythms Retreat next week… consider it your seasonal pause to reconnect.
Join us if you’re ready to more deeply reconnect with your spiritual compass within.
And if it’s not for you at this time, I’m still glad you’re here and hope that you’ll use this video often to return to center when you need it💚.
Cheers,
Cathy

What’s Cultivating Health Harmony Happiness in My Life…
Pickleball and Pumpkins!! I’m fortunate enough to be on the preschool board for our church, and this year we are doing our Fall fundraiser differently – we’re hosting a friendly pickleball tournament and family fun fair!
Somehow, I stepped into the shoes of spearheading the efforts for this fundraiser and it’s been a ride, but I am super pumped by how much support we’ve gotten for this faith-based preschool from our community.
I’m feeling grateful for the donations we’ve collected and my heart is filled with even more trust that God is good and indeed providing for this program so that we can have supplies, quality teachers, and offer scholarships for those families who need it.
