The Season of Surrender: What Autumn Teaches Us About Peace
The Crisp Air, Falling Leaves, and Your LPH Guide to Letting Go
By Francesca Bartella, Manager Volunteer Services for LPH
The world is holding its breath. Autumn isn't just a season; it’s a brilliant, brief moment of profound exhale. The trees, in their final burst of breathtaking color, show us the majesty of surrender.
But honestly, surrender is hard. We cling to the sunny, busy energy of summer, and we fight the cold truth of change. That is, until the crisp air hits your lungs and you realize the Earth is inviting you to join its release.
Your Invitation to Shed
What do you feel when you stand in a pile of leaves? An urge to kick them? I feel a deep, quiet question: "What are you still carrying?"
It could be a worry you replayed all summer, an old disappointment, or just the exhausting pressure to do more. Holding onto that baggage in the face of Autumn's clarity is draining. You need permission to shed.
This is why my Love Peace Harmony (LPH) practice is my most vital fall tool.
When I am connecting to the earth, my feet planted firmly in the ground, the frequency of forgiveness. That spiritual energy acts like a gentle wind, releasing the old patterns stuck in my heart and my mind.
Love peace Harmony provides the warm, safe space needed to finally say, "I am done carrying this." Just like the tree trusts the wind to take its leaves, I trust the LPH frequency to take my resistance.
Harvesting the Quiet
Autumn is about inner harvest. It’s not just what you grew, but what you released to make space for the quiet, deep growth of winter.
The practice reminds me that I am grounded like the bark and resilient as the falling leaf. The deepest peace isn't found in a season that never ends, but in the courage to change.
Take a moment this week. Find the richest colored leaf you can. Hold it, feel the cool air, and quietly sing the LPH Song. Allow the season to meet you there, and welcome the inevitable, beautiful change that is ready to begin inside your soul.
