Adjusting to Autumn
\nBy Julie Lusk<\/a><\/h2>\n

Adjusting from summer to fall always comes with mixed feelings for me.\u00a0 At first, it\u2019s so hard for me to accept the end of the warmth, light, and the greenness of the plants, trees and garden.\u00a0 \u201cWhere did it go,\u201d I ask my self.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m not ready for this!\u201d<\/p>\n

Honestly, for years and years, I\u2019d feel mighty bummed.\u00a0 In my mind, I was already jumping way ahead to the shivering cold and darkness of winter while missing all the things I like about summer.\u00a0 Somehow, I\u2019d let myself miss out on what the autumn is all about.<\/p>\n

But now, I close my eyes and I sit in yoga meditation.\u00a0 Eventually, my racing mind settles into the steadiness of my breathing and the present moment opens up like a fragrant flower.\u00a0 Instead of feeling sorry that another summer is gone and anticipating an uncertain future, I\u2019m able to take in what\u2019s around me now. \u00a0When my eyes reopen, it\u2019s easy to notice that the trees aren\u2019t bare.\u00a0 In fact, the air is crisp and clean and the changing light and shadows cast a beautiful spell over me.\u00a0 What a relief.<\/p>\n

All that energy that was being wasted on feeling anxious has effortlessly shifted into the energy of inspiration and an undeniable readiness to take what\u2019s right before me and enjoy it for what it is.\u00a0 For years, I missed out on all the gorgeous fall days.\u00a0 Not anymore.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m grateful for the tastes and smells and colors of autumn and reach into my closet for my favorite sweater.<\/p>\n

Autumn is a time for harvesting, letting go, and for preparing unsown areas for reseeding.\u00a0 This goes for the actual activities that happen during this season on earth and for what happens in our lives.\u00a0 For me, the magic ingredient that helps me with this is yoga and meditation.\u00a0 Please join me or your favorite teacher so we can continue to grow inward and onward.<\/p>\n
