There’s something magical about October. 🍂
The light shifts, the air cools, and the trees begin their graceful release—each leaf drifting down in its own perfect timing.
I’ve always felt that autumn is more than a season. It’s a teacher. It reminds us that letting go can be beautiful, that change can be gentle, and that in every ending there’s space for something new to emerge.
The Wisdom of Release
We so often hold on; sometimes to habits, sometimes to thoughts, sometimes to stories that no longer serve us. Letting go can feel uncomfortable, even scary, because it asks us to step into the unknown.
But nature shows us another way.
The trees don’t cling to their leaves. They trust the cycle, releasing what’s ready to fall so that energy can return to the roots and nourish new growth.
We, too, can find wisdom in this rhythm. When we allow ourselves to release, we create space for clarity, peace, and renewal to take root.
Reiki as a Gentle Companion
This is where Reiki becomes such a beautiful ally. Reiki doesn’t force or demand—it simply creates a safe, nurturing space for release. It softens the grip of old patterns and brings us back into harmony with ourselves.
In a Reiki session, many people find they naturally let go—whether of tension in the body, heaviness in the mind, or emotions that have been waiting quietly to be acknowledged. The process is tender, not rushed, just like the falling leaves.
A Simple Practice for October
If you’d like to honor the season of release, here’s a gentle practice you can try:
🍂 Find a quiet place outside. Pick up a leaf that catches your eye.
🍂 Hold it in your hand, and take a few breaths.
🍂 Whisper something you’re ready to release—a thought, a worry, a pattern.
🍂 Let the leaf float down to Mother Earth and imagine the her receiving it, transforming it into nourishment.
It doesn’t have to be big. Small releases add up to big shifts over time.
Listening Within
This October, may the falling leaves remind you to listen inward. To honor what you’re ready to release. To trust the wisdom of your own cycles of growth and rest.
And may you find beauty in the letting go. 🍂
With love and gentle light,
