A Cornucopia of YOU!

We are edging closer to the last harvest festival — Samhain, October 31. What began with the heat of summer’s peak (Lammas, August 1) and reached it midpoint at the equinox, is now almost at the end of the reaping time. What have you been harvesting this summer/

This has been a face paced year. The icy storms of winter and the yearning for warmth don’t seem so long ago. Then came the bright, cool days of early spirng: we sowed seeds. During the heat of summer, we watched them grow. Now it is time to reap the harvest. Wow. 

What did you sow? What grew? What have you reaped and will continue to harvest as we move into the quiet time of year? 

Not sure? Try this:

Breathe deeply into this season. Surrender into the magic of your breath. Ask yourself: 

• What seeds did I sow? Then: Listen to the answers. Name whatever wafts to the surface of your being. Jot down the responses. 
• How did I nurture what I sowed? Then: Name whatever ways waft to the surface of your being. Know that this is about you. The answers are enough. Make a note of those answers.
• What did I reap? You do not need to fill a cornucopia — naming one or two things is enough. This is about you and no one else. 

This exercise is about listening to your intuition. About being in the rhythm of that listening to the voice within. As you listing to the looking back, reflect upon the many ways that you responded to your intuition without really knowing that you were. 

Intuition. Instinct. Listening to your gut. That which propels you through this mad, uncertain world. When you listen to your intuition, your worries lessen. Your path become more clear — or at least you take the next steps with clarity. When you follow your intuition, no matter where you find yourself, you will never be led astray. 

So during this time of harvest, reflect upon where you sowed this year and how your intuition encouraged you to be a master gardener of your soul.
