We just had the autumnal equinox and you are probably noticing the increasing darkness. For many people this is not pleasant.
I’d like to suggest that you consider the gift of darkness. It’s a time of quieting down, focusing inside, pulling in, spending time with family and friends.
The spring and summer light sends us out into life with energy and activity. The world is growing and flourishing.
Fall and winter darkness call us in with quiet and reflection. Find some comfort, nurture yourself, and think about what’s important to you and what’s going on for you in your life.
If you are, or have a tendency to be depressed or discouraged, please consider taking this opportunity to get some help to understand this response better and to find ways of shifting it for yourself. I’d be happy to meet with you. I’d like to know your experience and to offer my assistance.
You may experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) due to the reduced amount of light. If this is true for you, be sure to get outside during the day. Take a walk, drink in the light and the sun.
