I too am becoming deeply and lovingly acquainted with my autumn. It seems to be my gentle turn inward, and a revelatory awareness point as I slow and listen with the season of my cycle. I notice that misalignments reveal, untended frayed edges travel into my awareness and emotion emerges from my depths. Beautiful reflections and invitations into our awareness of our present expression of embodiment.

Learning to love inner autumn has been quite the journey in itself! When I first began practicing menstrual cycle awareness I found the shift incredibly challenging but now that I’m able to approach it from a place of compassion and give myself the permission to ease into it it’s become one of my favourite seasons. You’re so right, there is so much medicine to be found at this time if only we can turn towards ourselves ♥️✨

When I started tracking, I noticed day 22 was my shift inward. Once I was aware of that, I found the transition point more easeful and it became a signal of curiosity for me. To presence with what was going to reveal as day 22 arrived. I knew my shifts would show me what was asking to be seen! This did NOT eliminate the challenge of being with emotions or the uncomfortability of exploring what was coming up, but it did help me feel more part of the journey, like I was participating rather than being assaulted by my blind spots! Ha!

Thank you for this gorgeous piece. I found my whole body vibrating as I read your words. Especially this bit: "Over time we remember what it feels like to belong by becoming nature herself. We root, we rise, we ripen, we rot. Only to begin all over again." To be attuned to the subtle shifts in our energetic beings has been the most wonderful journey personally too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
