Golden to Bear,

A meditation about transition and witnessing nature's release.

Close your eyes.

Let your breath slow until it feels like a quiet wave,

In and out,

Steady and smooth.

Picture yourself walking through the prairie in late autumn.

The gold has turned muted now.

Fields,

Once tall and lush,

Have softened into shades of brown and beige.

Trees standing bare against a pale sky,

Their last few leaves drifting down.

There's beauty in this fading.

A gentleness in the letting go.

You stop for a moment and listen.

The world has grown quieter.

The hum of insects gone.

The air crisp.

Each sound feels sacred in its rarity.

Take a slow breath in.

Cool,

Dry air filling your lungs.

Exhale a long sigh that joins the stillness around you.

Imagine kneeling down and brushing your fingers across the soil.

It's cool,

Textured,

And unfamiliar.

The earth beneath the surface is alive,

Resting,

Preparing.

In this moment you understand.

Everything in nature knows when to release.

When to draw inward.

When to trust the pause between growth and rest.

With each breath,

Let yourself release something.

A need to rush.

A sense of urgency.

A habit of striving.

Let it all fall like the leaves around you.

Feel yourself become lighter,

More open,

More spacious.

Like a tree with bare branches.

You can now see more of the sky.

Breathe in that openness.

Breathe into that trust.

There is no emptiness here.

Only readiness.

Space for what's next to root when the time is right.

Stay here for a few breaths,

Grounded in the beauty of simplicity.

You are part of this natural rhythm.

The turning from golden to bare.

When you're ready,

Imagine taking a final look across the horizon.

Soft.

Quiet.

Then inhale deeply,

Filling your chest with calm.

And exhale completely,

Knowing that release is a form of renewal.

Namaste.
