Fall is a time of letting go; and even for those who love this season there can be a sense of loss.  Any time we have to let something go it can bring up other feelings from our past or present that need to be released too, helping us to heal even more deeply than we could before.

Do you ever experience a kind of generalized sadness in the fall, though often accompanied by other more positive feelings such as gladness and expectation?  It can be kind of confusing, and we may be inclined to lump the sad part into “seasonal affected disorder” or the time of the month!  But what may be happening as we let go of the joyful, spiritual summer energy is a light form of grief as we are falling back into a more inward focus.  This transition is both joyful and sad and a wonderful opportunity for some really gentle healing.

Grief is an emotional process that requires us to surrender; to melt a bit inside.  It is something which can build up – all unreleased grief and sadness combines and can weigh on our hearts and souls.  It is good to surrender, to melt, to allow the release of these feelings which all show up together.  When we do this we can then handle any loss and transition more gracefully and live with a lighter heart and mind.

Grief, loss or sadness can be released like this:  a wave of emotion, tears, heart opening to Higher Love so the emotion can be a cleansing wash.   This soon leads into a wellspring of gratitude and thankfulness for the good we had; and for the good which will come again in a new way in the future.  Love is forever, but our human experience in the world is always seasonal.  When we surrender what we loved and had, we are making room for the next opportunity.  It will be different!  There is more to the blessings of life than we can ever know, and the linear experience of time requires us to be sequential in our experiences.  So when we let go, we need to be open for what comes next without expecting it to be the same as before.  These emotions come and go in waves over time — days, months, years for the big things.  When we are open-hearted to this process of healing each wave of release leaves us with a lighter heart, mind and soul.

During this time of ascension, we are all releasing so much from the old world.  The things we experience now are connected to our biggest and oldest soul contracts and jobs.  Our time in the old world is limited as we move quickly into the new world experience.  So we are all busy completing these opportunities before they release fully as the old world passes.  Learning to let go is probably our greatest challenge and gift of this time on Earth.

Below is a simple tool to help you to let go.

Working With Your Angel

Most people on Earth were angels in their very early experiences at the dawn of creation.  The angel self has stayed in that pure place of unity with the One as we then moved into the journey of incarnation and individuation.  In recent years we have come close enough to our Higher Selves to be able to join with our angel selves from within our human experience.  By bringing the experience of unity with the One to us in our human souls, our angels are teaching us to surrender the old and be open to the new as we ascend back into wholeness.  Below is a way to work with your angel.

1) Breathe into your body and give yourself an inner hug

2) Let your breath bring your focus into your new world heart chakra in the middle of your chest

3) Welcome your heart chakra to open back and front and to expand outward which connects you with Higher Love

4) Deep within your heart, welcome the presence of your Inner Wisdom – seed of your eternal true self.  Center within your Inner Wisdom in your heart chakra to continue this exercise, allowing your mind to watch but to take a back seat so your Inner Wisdom can direct your experience

5) From your Inner Wisdom, invite your Higher Self to welcome the essence of truth of your Angel Self into your heart and soul

6) Invite your angel wings to enfold you, body and soul

7) Open your heart to the angel asking for help releasing uncomfortable emotions from the seasonal shift, from your past in this lifetime, from circumstances in our world – anything which is ready to be healed

8) Let the emotions wash flow through your open heart, body and soul, into the healing love of the angel so the angel can transmute them into unconditional love.

9) Welcome unconditional love and healing to bring your true self, wholeness, trust and freedom to your soul and your life.

10) Invite your angel self to help you through your days and nights, reminding you of your unity, wholeness and true being; helping you to keep an open heart through all the seasons of your life.

The experience of working with your angel brings deep peace and unconditional love.  You may experience it as subtle, although many will find it amazingly potent, which it is.  The reason it feels subtle is that unconditional love doesn’t force things, it is accepting of where you are at the time.  It can feel like the gentlest of touches or the most potent bear hug, but it will be what you need it to be.  It won’t blow you away; it will make you strong instead.  If you are someone who tends to work from your mind or third eye to do spiritual things, you may need to practice working with your heart and Inner Wisdom leading instead.  You will find it much more powerful when you do.
