Late summer is the season of transition. The young ones are returning to schools and colleges, fledgling adults are making their way to universities. Many are moving from a known season of life into an unknown/new one. Daylight is shortening. The earth element is associated with any transition...be it a natural seasonal one or a life one. Anxiety, worry, feeling ungrounded, churning things over and over can all come up when the earth element is challenged. Nourishment on all levels is the key to smoothing out any transition...and it can come in many forms. It may be great food, walking, lying on the ground, plugging feet into earth, reading a trashy novel, chatting with a friend, journalling, painting. My non neuro-typical youngest started mainstream secondary school today. This is his/my biggest transition for/with him so far. I am nourishing myself with good food, the work I love and some hammock time. He will be nourished by the structures we have set up in partnership with the school, his puppy meeting him at the school gates and his 'screen time' when he gets home. Find what nourishes you during times of transition...it will help it to be smooth. Love to your earth element, Sarah-Jayne 🌎 ☀ 🌎
