The sun is shining brightly, cascading over fallen leaves, pouring itself through bare branches and doing what it does best, providing life and restoration to planet Earth. We’re very blessed here in Sacramento to have a real change of seasons, and soon the sunny days will give way to rainy, foggy ones that are crisp with cold. 

At the same time, and on “safe to burn” days, the smell of firewood will fill the air here; and although we may not get snow in Sacramento, the drive that allows children to play on snow-packed hills or parents to ski down snowy slopes is only an hour away. 

The season also, besides providing a type of restful beauty is a time of reflection, a space for re-evaluation of last year’s choices and gratitude for its blessings. This time of year was meant to be a time of quiet and rest, respite from the harder labors of life and a haven for cementing dreams and goals onto the Sea of Consciousness, the Field of All Potential. 

Picked up clearly and passionately, with gratitude and trust as carrier winds, goals and visions of what will be for us are written on the forehead of the Field of All Potential. This is our birthright, and to know that, to realize that, to experience that, is to Self-Actualize. It is remembering Who You Are. 

In this magical season, amidst the hustle and bustle, as it’s written of the season, take time for the wisdom and magic of all ages to drift down through your consciousness. Breathe! Breathe often throughout the day and feel Gratitude for a year of life, marked in linear measures, that is passing. See the New Year as an initiation into All Possibilities. See it as a fresh start and a chance for new visions to manifest. 

Relax and Breathe into this well deserved time of beauty, love and reflection. Give to yourself warmth, self-love, and perhaps service to others who have less than you do. Enjoy the sun through almost bare tree limbs and carpets of leaves, and appreciate yourself as the Observer.
