-----Why in Autumn do we want to match the animals in nature and hibernate? The energy on the planet changes. This energy is called life-force energy, Christ-force energy, Universal energy, Supreme Being's energy. In the Autumn this energy is drawn down into the Earth. Outwardly, the leaves are drawn off the trees. Inwardly, we experience feeling drained. But the good news is that the energy that is draining is most likely not our own anyway. We took on someone's energy (thoughts, emotions) and obligingly, or in most cases, ignorantly carried it around, until the fall season draws our attention back to ourselves where we experience a change in energy within and around us. That is one of the purposes of the seasons, to be different from all the others so that we notice changes we might not have if everything stayed the same. Each season prompts us to reflect (go inward). It makes us pause to review our lives.
With Autumn equating to the harvest time of year, what have we harvested in our lives? Well, it depends what type of seeds we have planted. If tomato seeds were planted, we would expect tomatoes. If we planted negative thoughts, guess what will be reaped during harvest time? Positive thoughts and ideas? Guess again! We are farmers with our thoughts, ideas and emotions as much as a farmer who uses soil as his medium. That is why it is so important to put our attention on what we truly want to experience, and then create the correct atmosphere (attitude or medium) for that to manifest (your mock-ups). How successful would a farmer be if he planted tomato seeds but then never watered, fed, or weeded that area? It isn't enough to want to experience something. We must create the receptive environment for it to show up so that our harvest is a successful one! The Autumn Equinox symbolizes harvest time outwardly and inwardly.
Because the Autumn Equinox happens during the time of year when people generally slow down, it is a great time to get rid of all the excess baggage before New Years so we can start anew with a clean slate. Why have there always been festivals and celebrations during the turning points, the four seasons of the year? To communally and outwardly energize the blessings of our lives.------

As we welcome September and celebrate Labor Day, we honor the hard work and ingenuity of working men and women, we begin the new school year...September brings us the Fall Equinox and harvest time...we remember that there is a time for everything under the sun...a time to work, a time to play, a time for dying and a time for growth.
Together, let us embrace our own times of letting go and transformation.

Let's join in heart and spirit and revel in what ties us together and makes us whole, counting blessings and practicing gratitude for all we have been given and that which makes us who we are.

Let us be thankful for all of our trials and tribulations, they are the lessons that have shaped and formed us and brought us to this time of possibilities. Let us envision a time of peace and a time of renewed spirit, sharing and honoring the light and love in all.

Namaste
