Transmuting

The end of this month puts us in a place of transition.  Harvests are complete and winds shuffle the falling leaves all around.  We prepare for colder weather in the northern hemisphere.  It's a perfect time to shuffle things around in our own lives and name intentions for the inward dwelling months to come.  This is a time of identifying what we're hanging onto in our lives that we no longer need.  It's a good time to let go of these old things that are meant to be left behind in this season of this year.  If these things no longer give us life, then they are also holding us back from our own full expression and self-completion.  It might be time to transmute these parts of ourselves from their place in our life story into something that connects us with our creative wishes and visions for what is to come.  Leaves blown by the wind have already let go to make way for the next cycle.  They teach us to do the same.
"...winds move through a person's life.  They shake some things loose and maybe even turn some things upside down.  Wind shakes off what's really loose that needs to be swirled around, and brings with it also a fresh breath, a fresh air.  If some things have been knocked down or turned over, it's okay.  Within and around that you will find some sprouting.  You will find the fresh green edges of what is trying to emerge."
