Most people celebrate the New Year in January. People have new resolutions, for a new start. Other people look forward to spring to have a new lease on their lives. But the time of year to really start making changes is in the fall. Why? It's so simple as you are flowing with the energy on the planet.
Some people don't believe in things they can't see or explain. Energy is one such thing, yet think about it. You know when you are experiencing a lack of 'energy' because you feel drained. You also know when you are experiencing an abundance of it because you feel hyper, charged up. The planet experiences something similar during the various seasons of the year.

This planet is ensouled with an abundance of energy called life force or Christ force energy. It is what gives life to every living thing. This energy moves! In the fall this energy is on the surface of the planet and begins to move downward toward the center of the planet. When the winter solstice arrives this energy has reached the center of the earth. It is no coincidence that during the fall we experience an absence of energy. We feel drained. Nature reflects the change in energy. Leaves fall of the trees, animals prepare for hibernation. The rains come. There is a general downward motion of activity. As human beings we also may feel more down, melancholy and reflective at this time of year. We look to the past before we look to the future during this time of year. All because we are in tune with what the energy is doing. It's leaving us! Well, it is moving off the surface of the the planet.

During the season of winter many people experience the Òdark night of the soulÓ. Some people find they lose their faith that things will be okay. We are left to our own devices, the energy that feeds us is furthest away during the winter. Yet, after the winter solstice the days get gradually longer and longer, more light, more energy each day. The life force energy has already made it to the center of the planet and then changes directions, climbing upwards. At the spring equinox this energy hits the surface of the planet again. Yes, there is hope! Life and energy seem more abundant, renewal is taking place. At the summer solstice this life force energy has achieved itÕs full force and strength and then it begins to slowly wane into fall again.

Fall is where you can begin to prepare for the changes you'd like to experience in your life. Let go of the old, the pain from the past. It's important to do this because this is what allows you to create room for the new in your life. Without clearing the past away you bring it with you into the future and wonder why every year you experience the same old thing. Nature has the wisdom to let go during this time of the year, and we should match that. That's because all the preliminary work needs to be done beforehand. The fall season is the ideal time to do so. Better than trying to use will power to make changes, is when you work on the energy level because everything happens on the energy level first. Your existence happened that way. You are a spirit who then took on or inherited a body.

In the fall you can begin clearing your spiritual/mental closet of all the old, painful, and inadequate thought patterns that keep you on a merry-go-round of bad habits, destructive relationships, etc. This requires the decision to do so first of all. Then, using some energy techniques and concepts to scour yourself internally where all that makes you tick lives.

So, back off (step back so you're not so caught up in old patterns) lighten up, (realize you are the guiding light to that body) and let go (of all that is not you). Enjoy the season.
