On September 22nd we entered the Autumn Equinox, the mid point when day and night become equal.  During this Earth cycle Nature begins to slow down, trees begin to drop their leaves, animals prepare for hibernation and renewal, which lies just ahead.

There is much introspection during this time and we should draw from our inner strength.  The power from the western winds influences the mind away from the material world and directs it towards the Spiritual aspects of life.  This is time to slow down, relax and be easy going.  Get in tune with the balance of Nature, and become sensitive to the changes occurring on Earth.

This cycle provides great sustaining power and brings out the best in ourselves, makes us dependable with our partners, friends and co-workers.  It brings about persistence to keep trying until we have achieved our goals.

The essence of this cycle can be best described as a time where you may experience being: Romantic, idealistic, good-natured, tolerant and sensitive

Medicine totems: Crow, Grizzly bear, Ivy, Azurite (animal, plant, minerals associated with this earth cycle.)

Affinity Colors: Blue

I Ching: Desire for achievement.

Best Day of the week: Friday.

Falling Leaves Time: This can be a time to seek balance between harmony and beauty within.  Look for that moment where change and balance in life come together.  Harness this time to review the purpose of the life-experience and put it to good use.

My insight to traveling the Native American Medicine Wheel and the study of how Nature affects our existence here on the Earthly plane has brought me to a greater understanding of unity with the universe.  It’s a way to gain a complete understanding of what our purpose is on Earth, and how the connection with the elements and other forms of life can lead us to understand the true self within.
