Autumn Equinox — The Harvest Within

“At the meeting place of light and darkness, stillness quietly reveals what has always been whole.” Sage

Dear Ones,

We are just approaching a beautiful point of stillness — Autumn Equinox. It marks the beginning of Libra season, and the image of perfectly balanced scales illustrates it beautifully. Just for a moment — the light of the day weighs the same as the darkness of night. A perfect moment of equilibrium and stillness, just for a moment, before the weight of dark velvet nights starts winning.

In the ever-changing and dynamic world of appearances, this feels like an invitation to slow down. Just for a moment. And perhaps to acknowledge not only the outer harvest manifesting in seemingly very tangible forms in our personal lives and also in our global community, but also to acknowledge the inner harvest.

The inner harvest is invisible to the naked eye. And it is another important threshold for each of us when we start to truly treasure it. When we start awakening to the truth of who we already are, we start remembering that all external happenings and noise actually arise from the beauty and generosity of ever-present stillness. It’s like we suddenly remember where the river of life springs and feel an irresistible pull to go back to the Source — again and again. As we start fully remembering our true nature, just being still feels so full of beauty and loving presence that we never want to leave it again.

And the moment we discover that we don’t have to leave it, the Inner reaches a truly rich harvest. When we truly understand that the exquisite richness of stillness is always present, not only in the moments of blissful meditation but also in the midst of our everyday lives. When we learn not to abandon it for the noise of the ever-changing external reality. When we start seeing with striking clarity that it is not the bliss of stillness abandoning us but the exact opposite — us abandoning stillness.

And perhaps then we will understand that we don’t have to do it anymore.

The harvest within is there to be shared with everyone and everywhere…

Are you ready, dearest One?

I look forward to meditating with you.

Lots of love,
Jana
