This is the season of new beginnings. And so it's also a perfect time to embrace a powerful way to welcome new desired experiences. It's inevitable, as explorers and creators, as spiritual beings — to be called toward new experiences. Just as the cycles of nature move through the spring, summer, fall and winter, so do we experience the call of new ideas and adventures. If we give a seed water, it grows under the warmth of the sun, and the radiant energy of our loving attention. And as we enter fall, we enter the harvest, the time of ideas now materialized. In the winter we rest on the fruits of what we've created. Just as a tree rests, in order to be born anew, in spring ... we are called to be with new ideas, to be okay with not having all of the answers, as they bud, and then blossom into new experiences. 

The cycle continues. But, in nature, there is pure allowing. Nature witnesses the desired good unfolding, allows the rain and growth. 

We, as souls in human bodies, can learn a lot by witnessing what nature teaches us. A tree does not fight its past, nor does it cling to it. It allows the leaves to drop. And drop they must — if there are to be new blooms and new growth. 

A new idea cannot grow if we are fighting the past, by being unhappy with where we currently are. In order to bloom and have the new experience, we need to allow it to come ... we can welcome it. We can plant and water it with a clear choice to have that new desired experience. We can let go of striving to have all of the answers before we take the next step. 

... appreciate the gifts in the present moment, and eagerly appreciate what's in the process of taking form.  We do not need to fight the unwanted elements of the past, for that would keep them active. Nor do we need to see the whole tree before we allow a branch to grow. And as we see the first fruits begin to materialize in the form of our positive emotions ... we can savor them, and allow them to grow because ... we realize that happiness, fun and enthusiasm are the first fruits prior to the fuller expression of our desired experiences. We can see happiness as evidence that even more good is coming. And then, as we enter that new "normal", we are at a higher level of thriving and understanding.

We've happily grown and evolved!

Rest in this sense, means that now we are at a new "normal". We have become what we set out to be with the idea. Little or no effort is needed now to maintain this high level. And then a new adventure calls, a new idea starts to weave its way into your awareness. Can you see that these cycles are natural? They can be beautiful and easy? 

How long does it take for a new idea to come to fruition? 

The cycle could be a year, a day, a minute, or a month. The time between the choosing of a new idea, and the first and second fruits ... to the feeling of it being your "new normal" is directly related to your ability to welcome it in. Are there dried up leaves not yet released, that are hindering new growth? If so, the fruits cannot come.  

Make peace with where you are, as you feed the joy of the desired new experience. This is the best use of the law of attraction, the spiritual law of cause and effect, one which governs all things. Allow your desired good to grow now with ease. Release the need to overthink, and to have it all figured out. Take one step, and know that more will be revealed to you, as you do. 

We live in a friendly universe that is for us. There's no need to fight the unwanted events of the past, or the present. Just as nature happily allows growth to happen, so can we. We can allow our desired good to grow with a happy heart, wherever we may be, as we also allow others to do the same.

All is well.

Happy new beginnings. Happy growth. Happy harvest. Happy rest.
