Signs and Symbols of Autumn


One of my favourite pastimes when traveling around as much as I do is to glance at the sky and notice the fleeting shapes and pictures within the clouds. For years I have seen cloud-animals, faces, cherubs & angels, but also some very significant symbols, which when noted have given me intuitive information about things in my life. For example on the day I was driving down to the hospital as my daughter was taken in early for a very complicated and potentially life-threatening delivery of her first baby I saw to my delight a clear image of an elephant, with a baby elephant holding onto it's mother's tail by the trunk, and I absolutely knew in my heart by the 'jaunty' way the Mother's head was held high that this was a heavenly sign of reassurance to me, that all would be well, the birth would be successful and the baby would be fine!

Working with angels is often considered a little a little too etherial. But for me, as someone who practices the Essene communions with the angels, and believes in the interconnectedness of everything, I also see angels in the practical down-to-earth everyday world we live in. The creation, God and the angels are everywhere. We have signs, symbols and messages all around us, all the time, and most significantly in the natural world. We don't have to have our head in the clouds - even though the sky is so wondrous and entertaining!

Our lanes, colourful gardens and parks are filled with noticeable signs and messages right now. As I drive around I am truly inspired by the richness of colour which Autumn brings. I see it as a jewel filled reminder within the glorious reds, oranges, yellows, and greens that we constantly need to ground ourselves and work at balancing our chakra energy within the body. After all we have brought our spirit and wonderful soul-light into a corporeal existence, we must 'embody' our light on a daily basis.
How do we do this? By being aware of taking the breath down into our lower abdomen (known as the hara in yogic traditions), by feeling the ground under our feet; by becoming more consciously aware of feeling our body walking; the ground under foot, the swinging of our arms,  the rotation of our hips, the touch of fabric on our skin, the sounds and smells and temperature.  Rather than using this time in your head 'thinking' about all the things you have to do later, by walking consciously you are in fact using this as a meditative exercise, a spiritual practice, of grounding and embodiment.

I see the abundance of reds in the berries as a reminder of our own blood, giving us courage, fortitude and life force within our bodies. The oranges are motivating and energizing. I see the gold in the trees as a wonderful symbol of the strength of the sun, the power of life, and the greens in all their glorious shades, represent balance, the healing nature of our Mother Earth, and of course universal unconditional love.

Whatever colours, symbols or signs you might see and interpret your own way in nature at this wonderful time of year I wish you too the abundance of blessings, and hope to see many of you at the various talks and workshops I am attending through the next couple of months.

With my love,
Chrissie
