LIVING IN FLOW WITH THE SEASONS

Many of us live as if the seasons are just weather events. We heat, we cool, we plan our schedules by the calendar and we often fail to see the flow of the sacred divine at work in the changing seasons.

Every season carries a different kind of wisdom, another lesson and the ancients knew it. They didn’t just watch the seasons; they moved with them. They planted and harvested, yes, but they also rested, grieved, celebrated, dreamed, and renewed themselves in tune with the land’s rhythm.

Somewhere along the way, we lost that knowing. We build lives that keep us disconnected from nature and air-conditioned comfort provides excuses to stay away from “the outside” world

Living in flow with the seasons isn’t about going back to a stone age existence. It’s about remembering that our bodies and souls are tuned to cycles and energies , growth and release, action and rest are all influenced and revealed within the seasons.

In summer, we rise and expand.
In autumn, we let go, we release.
In winter, we rest and restore, we take stock and we prepare.
In spring, we open again, full and ready to be all that we came to be.

Even in the tropics where I love to spend as much of my time as possible there are still seasons, the wet season and the dry season - these seasons still ask us to be in flow, to remember, to release, to prepare and to restore.

Even science reminds us of this truth. Circadian rhythms, hormone cycles, even immune function shift with the seasons. We aren’t separate from the earth’s turning; we’re shaped by it and this ancient knowledge will ground you and restore you.

The seasons are still speaking. We just have to start listening again. Each season is an invitation for you that you might enter more deeply into the state of flow.
