A calm autumn journey.
This is for you who would like to relax,
Fall asleep or have a little nap.
As you walk out the house,
The cooler,
Fresher air touches your cheeks.
And as you inhale the crisp air,
You feel grateful for the coziness of your warm,
Soft clothes and you are at a perfect temperature just for you.
Walking on the gravel path in front of you creates some satisfying noises.
And the scent is sweet with a freshness to it.
You continue to walk on the path and as you look to the trees that has started to shift into beautiful autumn colours,
You sense an inner smile and let out a peaceful sigh.
You look up and a few gentle leaves are letting go of the tree.
And fall down into a slow motion and gently touches the ground.
Just as the season is shifting and trees are letting go of their leaves,
So is your mind letting go and resetting.
Another leaf is falling down and as it sinks to the ground,
You take a deep breath and let out another deep,
Peaceful sigh.
As you pick up the leaf,
You closely take a look at it.
It has deep red colours with orange veins across it.
Looking even closer,
You can see some small,
Tiny yellow dots.
It creates a pattern for you.
A pattern that feels familiar.
It looks just like a galaxy from the starry night sky.
It gives you a comforting feeling like there's something greater out there.
Familiar.
Caring for you.
Walking after you.
The sky is still light for today and as you enter the bright forest area,
You can see a welcoming wooden bench right under a big oak tree.
It feels like you really want to have a little pause there.
And so you walk up to it and feel the call to introduce yourself to the tree before you sit down under the great,
Loving warmth from it.
In order to reach around the trunk of the tree,
You would have to be at least three grown people holding hands in a circle around it.
The oak stands there still with its root firmly into the ground.
The crown above is as large probably as the root system below.
And as you sit there on the bench,
You feel a strong sense of content.
Content and wisdom from this wise tree.
You decide to close your eyes and for a moment,
Just be in the moment.
You feel very present in your body here,
Close to earth.
It feels like home.
The oak represents home to you.
As you welcome this feeling in,
There is also a lightness to your mind.
You feel clear and open,
Receptive to light and creativity.
It's just as far as your roots go down below,
Into the ground,
So as far you reach above.
Just like the oak tree,
It's a perfect example of how to be.
A ray of sunshine touches your closed eyelids and reminds you of the moment.
It comes with a message for you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for remembering.
Thank you for being you.
You gently open your eyes again and this time,
The landscape around you is exploding with the colors of the rainbow.
It's a scene of leaves dancing with the sky.
You look up to the tree above you once more and share your gratefulness as you feel like you would like to keep moving.
Living in moment to moment and mingle with the winds of change while the leaves speak bliss.
With a big oak tree right behind you,
You start walking the little path that eventually Along the gravel trail,
You notice the leaves on the ground and how many patterns that are in the leaves and how many galaxies that may mean.
The little details of the yellow dots.
You have a greater understanding that this is all also inside of you.
The crisp air has cleared your lungs and you feel alive as you are reaching closer to home.
You take one last look over the scenery and a big inhale,
Leaving you with a very pleasant feeling in your tummy and heart.
You feel full and as you enter the door into your home,
You'll notice that you have a leaf stuck inside your hood of your jacket.
You take it out and it's a sign to be here now and that it all exists within you.
Thank you.
