The rhythm of life: how might we benefit from pursuing it?
The seasons come and go as surely as the Sun rises every day. We can take advantage of these primordial forces by paying attention to the seasonal cycle.

You may know the seasons’ cycle throughout the year is due to the Earth’s yearly orbit around the Sun. As the seasons change, we notice the changes in our surroundings, but we may also reflect on the energy that each season brings to strengthen our bond with its potential.
- Spring brings the energy of growth and renewed life force to the land.
- Summer moves you to warmth and expansive energy towards harvest.
- Autumn brings the energy of gathering what has been sowed or grown and preparing the ground for the following cycle of seasons. Later in Autumn, there’s a shift towards leaves dropping and the great quieting of Earth energy.
- Winter gives you the energy of rest and reflection as the Earth lies deep and fallow.
Every one of us is affected by the energy of the cycles of the seasons.
You may live each day of your life with a growing sense of joy and comfort when you are in Rhythm with the times of the year.
Most of us have experienced the feeling of swimming upstream — metaphorically — when our efforts to move forward are blocked by a thick layer that seems to swallow everything we do. But hopefully, you’ve also had the opposite experience.
When you live in flow with the universe, you may start thinking about a new project or your life’s purpose, and the pieces will fall into place naturally. It is what is known as synchronicity. You link with the natural energy surrounding you because what you want to accomplish is a part of it. You are in tune with life’s seasonal rhythm. Life feels easy and in tune with your goals.
The energy of late Summer is still present around you in the northern hemisphere, indicating it still has the power of expansion and growth, slowly transitioning from gathering what you harvested to letting you prepare the ground.
This creative force emanates under you, over you, and through you as the planet’s power starts to push up from the deep sleep of the Winter, allowing you to tap into it for your health and development.
What do you wish to grow around you or within you? What inner thoughts and ideas have been brewing throughout this reflective winter season?
I enjoy keeping a journal, especially in the springtime. Otherwise, my plans and objectives can disappear without ever being implemented. I don’t write carefully. The intensity of Autumn and Winter is like that.
I adore Spring’s frantic drive when the energy of the blooming season is all around you to encourage growth. To advance toward your visions, ideas, movements, and projects that have been simmering within you, tap into the tremendous life force of creativity.
Once you have put your ideas on paper, you will benefit from the upcoming seasonal change and eagerly anticipate the Summer’s dynamic, expansive energy to aid in realising and manifesting your visions.
The warmth of Summer invites you to bask in it while being sure of the richness developing around you. It cultivates your thoughts by enticing you to connect with others, communicate, and build a bridge between the inner and outer worlds.
Enjoy your conscious alignment with the seasons!
