Autumn's fire,
Ignite your spirit.
I am Colleen Fletcher.
Take a deep,
Gentle breath in and exhale slowly.
Allow the rhythm of your breath to settle your body,
To soften the edges of your mind.
With each inhale,
Draw in the crisp clarity of autumn air.
With each exhale,
Release the weight of what no longer serves you.
Now imagine yourself being surrounded by trees that have been touched by autumn's colors.
Golden leaves shimmer overhead,
Amber,
Rust,
And crimson.
Each holding the warmth of the summer sun,
Each one ready to fall in graceful surrender.
Feel the earth beneath your feet,
Steady,
Grounded,
Receptive.
The air carries the scent of wood and soil,
A whisper that reminds you all things change and in change there is wisdom.
As you breathe,
Notice the trees around you,
How effortlessly they let go,
Trusting that release is a part of the cycle that letting go makes space for new life to bloom.
Now bring your awareness inward to the glowing ember at the center of your being,
Your inner fire,
Your spirit's flame.
It flickers softly,
Ancient and eternal.
With each sound,
Vibration that moves through you,
That flame grows stronger,
Brighter,
Illuminating the hidden corners of your soul.
See what it reveals,
Truth you have been ready to see,
Dreams you've tucked away,
A strength you forgot you had.
Let this inner fire warm what has grown cold,
Transform what feels heavy,
And awaken the spark of inspiration within.
Breathing in and breathing out,
You are the keeper of this flame,
Tender,
Fierce,
Radiant.
Like autumn itself,
You are both the release and the renewal,
The burning away and the rebirth.
Take a deep breath in,
Feel your spirit ignite with clarity,
Courage,
And light.
As you exhale,
Offer gratitude for what has been,
For what you are becoming,
And for the sacred rhythm that guides all things.
Gently,
Slowly,
When you are ready,
Bring your awareness back to the space you are in,
Back to your body,
Your breath,
And your beautiful awakened spirit.
