Season Hypnosis

Have you ever noticed that we all transform ourselves every season? We change our thought process to what the weather and calender date is? Its not about putting on a rain coat or grabing an umbrella during a wet summer day. Its more like a changing of the guard. When that day of...lets say "fall" hits; away go our sandals, shorts, etc...and out comes our boots, scarves and hats. Our thoughts go to raking the leaves and stocking up on soups and comfort foods. Time to ready ourselves by hunkering down and buttoning up our homes. There are even specific colors we gravitate towards. No more whites after labor day (that one always baffled me..its kind of ridiculous-right?!) We choose more warm colors, more earthy shades and deep jewel tones. I think we even wear more formal dressy clothing in the fall.
We pretty much 'fall' into a preconceived mind set that allows us to 'flow' gently into each changing season.
 I do love the Autumn "mind set". I know some people who are right there with me!

I have an ever swelling urge to jump into my boots and go outside to walk in the leaves that are slowly changing colors and twirling to the ground...and breath in that cool crisp air. To still feel the sunshine kiss the top of my hair....to feel and smell whisps of woodsy winds woft past my body. I love to fill my home with slow cooking smells of stews or soups and freshly baking breads or pastries. Wrapping my cold hands around a nice cup of hot chocolate topped with whip cream and a dash of cinnamon!
I love to be curled up on my couch in comfy clothes and my favorite owl blanket and a great inspirational book, or maybe a biography. I so enjoy putting up Autumn holiday decorations inside and outside of my home too.
Living on the west coast also includes some amazing wind and rain storms. I am a lover of weather. (now you know my inner geek-ha) The wind blows so hard during these storms -objects go flying..the rain flies sideways. Sometimes the power goes out. I have candles ready that give a warm soft glow. If I have kids over..that means shadow puppets with flashlights and ghost stories or just good deep conversations of wonderful subjects. Its amazing how close you can become to others when electronics are taken out of the mix!!!
So even though we tend to "hypnotically" transfer our thought process to accommodate season to season...try to step back in those times and really drink in all of the impending excietment and see it more as an adventure than a chore while getting things ready.
Enjoy life...let yourself grow to re-love and cherish the simple and fun things in life- can I get an Amen! Fabulous!
Peace out-be warm and happy. SMILE every day~
