The ninth rough night is aligned with September. The month between summer and autumn. There are still warm days ahead and also cool and rainy days start showing up already. The days not being long anymore but also not very short. It is a time of transition, an in-between time, just the same as is the time at the beginning of the year for our soul. The beginning of the year wants us to direct your attention more and more outwards again and to look ahead. However, energetically we are still in winter and the old year is in post-pulse oscillation. Those transition times are times to pause and to re-connect with our inner middle, to collect ideas and become creative.

Our soul still oscillates between the old and the New Year. She needs some time and peace to tune into the energy of the new time, the new beginning.

Let’s allow ourselves to arrive in the New Year, to process the parting. Maybe, there still is some woefulness or even hurt and wrench. We can let everything be, allow ourselves to feel it, because we can bare it. Forgiveness and gratitude can help us to ease into the farewell and to take on the new.

The following questions can help is in doing so:

• What are my goals in all areas of my life?
• What do I want to achieve?
• How can I center myself?
• Do I allow myself to listen to my gut-feeling?
• Who do I still want to forgive?

When we have decided to fulfill our dream, a wish, an idea; when we have set a goal, we cannot just start running immediately and implement everything at once. This would be blind activism. We need time to orientate and structure ourself, and to plan our journey.

Let’s practice patience. We all know the saying, “Haste makes waste.” Everything takes its time to grow and ripen. Sometimes, we even need to take a step back or aside to get a better look at our project, or to view it from a different angle, in order to be able to choose the right pass. Falling down and getting up again is alos part of the growth process.

Pause now and then, take a rest and breathe deeply. Be patient with yourself and ask yourself:

Am I well?

What do I need to be well?

Do I allow myself to be well?

What do I need to be healthy?

What do I need to be happy?

Exercise

Visualise your goal again and again as if you have achieved it already and make it as vivid as possible. What do you see, hear, taste, feel? Where are you, what do you do, who is with you? Use all your senses.

September is a month of wealth. It is harvest season, it is time of Thanksgiving and we bless mother earth.

Gratitude: by concentrating on what we have we can move from a feeling of deficiency to one of abundance, it takes us into the moment – we increase our energy levels. Go through your gratitude list that you wrote last year and add to it. If you have not created one yet, you could do it today.

Go out into nature as often as possible and concentrate on everything that’s green, breathe deeply in and out, slow down and be well.
