Welcome to this short meditation and reflection to help you pause,
Breathe and gently align with the rhythm of the changing seasons.
Take a moment to find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down.
Allow your body to soften,
Your shoulders to drop and your breath to deepen.
Closing your eyes,
Begin to notice the natural rhythm of your breathing.
Inhaling slowly and exhaling fully.
And with each breath,
Imagine you are grounding into the earth beneath you,
Supported,
Steady and safe.
Now picture yourself standing in a quiet place in nature,
Perhaps it's a field or a woodland path or a garden that you love.
The air is fresh,
The light is changing,
It's a sign of a new season arriving.
And as you breathe,
Imagine the seasons shifting around you.
Notice the colours,
The fragrance and the feeling in the air.
Each season carries a wisdom.
Spring brings renewal and fresh beginnings.
Summer offers warmth,
Joy and growth.
Autumn teaches us the art of letting go.
And winter invites rest,
Stillness and quiet restoration.
Now take a moment to reflect.
Which seasons are you in right now,
In your own life?
Is this something you're ready to grow into?
Is this something you're ready to release?
Or maybe there's something within you that longs to rest,
Or perhaps to shine more brightly.
Now bring to mind one positive change you would like to welcome into this new season of your life.
It may be something small,
A daily habit,
A fresh perspective or something bigger like a new chapter unfolding.
Breathe it in with your inhale.
Feel it taking root in your heart.
And as you exhale,
Imagine sending out energy that supports this change,
Like planting a seed in fertile soil.
Now,
Repeat silently to yourself,
I welcome this new season.
I trust in my ability to grow,
To release and to renew.
Repeat it once more gently.
I welcome this new season.
I trust in my ability to grow,
To release and to renew.
Take a deep nourishing breath in and slowly exhale.
And as you breathe in this way,
Begin to bring gentle movement back into your body.
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
Maybe rolling your shoulders,
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes and notice how you feel in this moment.
Remember just as the seasons turn,
So do you.
Each change in life holds wisdom,
Renewal and possibility.
Thank you for taking time to pause,
To breathe and to take care of yourself today.
May you carry this calm presence and sense of renewal with you into the rest of your day and into this new season of your life.
