Its part of its beauty and majestic nature to it while at the same time it calls up the feelings of change on so many levels and this can be unsettling.\u00a0 I was in the supermarket this week and the person behind the counter said they didn&#8217;t like fall because its change and that&#8217;s the problem with living up here in Massachusetts with the seasons you are always reminded of change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This had me stop and pause.\u00a0 It\u00a0gave me such a perspective on what we do not welcome when we react to what we perceive is negative while it can offer us much goodness.\u00a0 This inspired me to revisit the season.\u00a0 Lets see how we can fall in love with this season and respect it for what it is.\u00a0 Yes, change but change that can be nourishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So lets look at what we can do to help support ourselves with CHANGE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Our Body-<\/strong>\u00a0We may find ourselves with bellies acting up with the season as we know Fall pronounces itself in this area.\u00a0 We may become symptomatic out of nowhere and ask ourselves why.\u00a0 Well, now that we know its going to happen how can we make sure we take care of ourselves?\u00a0 We can by slowing down and into the pace of our day.\u00a0 Take time for that nap if it&#8217;s a matter of 20 mins snooze it will feel so good and what better to do in the wind n willow of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Curl up with a good book, tea and a hot water bottle and nestle in.\u00a0 Bring warmth to your belly, the hot water bottle by your side and make the meals that bring you satisfaction of being warmed from the inside. This is the time to break out the crock pot and the pressure cooker and start getting ready to use these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Our Mind-<\/strong>We do ourselves good when we replace the fears and the discomforts with renewed thoughts that center us and enable us to sit with our discomfort of change and process.\u00a0 We can do so by taking out dusting off that journal we were busy writing in last year.\u00a0 Start a new page or buy a new one.\u00a0 Get those thoughts out on paper and give it a go.\u00a0 Paint, draw find your voice in the arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Our Spirit-<\/strong>\u00a0The season of change revisits our spirit and sits with us sharing in the journey that was alive in the summer hot and warm calling us to come within its quieted season.\u00a0 We do well to ask what we seek our spirit to kindle and what healing we need at this time. Also to sit with our spirit in meditation for longer period of time or use our spiritual community gatherings for the harvests they offer from good friends and neighbors to enjoy.\u00a0 Join your spirits in communion with others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So take time to fall in love with all that this season can bring restorative in its CHANGE.\u00a0 It only happens once a year so be kind for its purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In health,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">S<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthy Trekkers, Good day.\u00a0The fall season brings with it so much change and it lingers in the air with us [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,3],"tags":[12,17,16,15],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2144"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2144"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2149,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2144\/revisions\/2149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/safaraf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
