The forest is vibrant and alive with color! A final burst of autumn brilliance is being painted across the forest canopy as the trees prepare to release their leaves. As I linger in the forest, for just a bit longer, I find myself in awe.
This week I have been soaking in some lowkey days here at camp. Every day the sun rises just a bit later and sets a bit earlier. The warmth of the day is no longer a strong contender for the evening chill that gusts in with a crisp wind, quickly reminding me to enjoy every moment within this grand seasonal threshold. Yes, in-between spaces show up all around us.
This week on the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m leaning deeper into this theme with an episode called:
Navigating the In-Between
Listen here →
The in-between is often misunderstood as being stuck, lost, or uncertain. But it’s really a sacred pause . . . the fertile space where we integrate, listen, and allow what is becoming to ripen.
In this episode, I share practices to help us navigate the in-between with presence and trust, along with simple practices you can try right now.
Crystal Ally for October: Rhodochrosite
As we step into October, we begin working with Rhodochrosite as our crystal ally. This beautiful stone invites us into the heart . . . to soften, to open, and to meet ourselves with compassion in times of transition. Such a great ally. I am curious about the messages and insights it will continue to offer throughout this month.
A Soft Message to Close
As the leaves fall and the days shift, may you find moments to honor your own in-between spaces. Trust that you are not lost. You are listening. You are awakening. You are becoming.
With love from the forest,
Lori
