You are part of nature, and just like everything else in nature, you are influenced by the seasonal energy.
What is happening in nature is happening within you. Tuning into these seasonal influences helps you to adapt and guide your energy in a balanced, potent, and clear direction toward your resolve to evolve. Within each of nature’s cycles are powerful teachings. I guide you, with focused intentions and practices, to clarify intentions and manifest desires. The four focal points of the year, Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, and Autumn Equinox, offer illuminated stages of an inner spiritual journey. As we consciously link our awareness to nature's cycles, our understanding of our own cycles begins to deepen and evolve.
AUTUMN SEASON: PRANA MUDRA
Mudra for Balancing the Life Force Within. Harmonizing the Energy System
MUDRA is a Sanskrit word which means a hand (hasta) posture, seal or gesture. It is a link between individual lifeforce and universal cosmic energy. The position of the hand influences energy (Prana) flow of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body. It acts like a subtle “plug” into the energy flow “sockets” and reflexes to the brain, the master command center. Use mudras to plug in and light up your consciousness.
PRANA MUDRA: Gesture of VITALITY
From Sanskrit, prana means “vital energy or life force”. This mudra works to stimulate, balance, decongest and awaken the vital life force within us. The thumb represents fire and the divine essence, the ring finger symbolizes earth and physical health, and the little finger signifies water and intuition. The convergence of these elements reflects the unity of the body, mind, and spirit, activating and circulating vital energy throughout our being.
On a physical level, this mudra:
- stimulates the root chakra (muladhara chakra)
- invites groundedness.
- invigorates the body
- helps to overcome fatigue or weariness
- soothes nervousness
- strengthens the immune system
On a mental/emotional level, this mudra:
- stimulates the solar plexus chakra (muladhara chakra)
- invites confidence
- enhances personal power
- establishes a focus mind
- invites mental clarity
- offers stability and calmness
- improves motivation
On a spiritual level, this mudra helps to deepen our heart connection and awaken to intuition and higher insights. Prana Mudra helps us to meditate better. Whenever we close our eyes, we can get caught in the Chitta Vrittis, the thinking mind. If we have more grounded and expanded awareness, then it can support greater focused awareness and the gateway into present moment. And the present moment is the beautiful state of being enlightened and free of past and future.
Affirmation:
An abundant source of vitality and life force reside within me.
I am guided by vibrant creativity.
I have confidence and energy to achieve what my heart desires.
I feel joyfully alive.

LLAMA
The llama stands as a symbol of endurance, community, and gentle strength. At the core of the llama's symbolism lies the essence of cooperative spirit. With their ability to traverse challenging terrains while bearing heavy loads, llamas symbolize the virtues of resilience and reliability.
They teach us that only through hard work and perseverance, higher visions are realized. Connection to higher spirit should be your highest priority at all times. Llama symbolism is insisting that you follow your heart rather than your ego. This action will bring you all the rewards you are seeking.
