November: Lighting Your Heart Lamp

Hello and Happy November to you. I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month. I know that yesterday was the first day of the month but I wanted to wait until today to send you this note. I hope you enjoyed a gentle and restorative Sunday as we welcomed November.

Here in the states when November arrives, we start to think about Thanksgiving and gratitude. The theme of grace, gratitude, harvest, and abundance are big themes for this month and even though the holiday itself is celebrated toward the end of the month, these themes are prescient all month long. Maybe you’re already working on a daily gratitude practice or have started to shift your home for the change in the energy that comes in with November. Maybe you’re already planning for your holiday meal or holiday travel. Maybe you’re focusing on something else entirely this season and are trying to find a way to connect with that quiet space within you while also marking this season. In any way that this month is inspiring you to shift into the themes of November, I invite you to take a moment or two to connect with your heart space.

By taking a little time to get quiet, to breathe, and to tune into your own heart space, you’ll find that you can receive a lot of insight from your soul about any particular issue. This is a powerful time to honor this practice. As the days become shorter, darker, and colder in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a time where we spend more time indoors, focusing on the gentle care of ourselves and our loved ones. We tend to engage in quieter activities, pick up hobbies or artistic outlets that we set down during the summer season, and maybe even enjoy more sleep. There are lots of ways to incorporate the care, comfort, and coziness of the season into your month as we dive deeper into the fall season. As a highly sensitive person, it can be easy to feel a bit overwhelmed about all the things that you want to do and the things that you have to do while finding ways to release the things that aren’t a fit for you this month.

Sometimes, I find that sensitive souls (like yourself) are very clear about how they want to enjoy their season or holiday but they feel that their desires aren’t “enough” to be prioritized. So, they may defer to the party line of doing something because it’s been done a certain way for a long time. Or, maybe they feel like it’s easier to go along to get along. Or, sometimes they feel like if they do something they don’t want to do for a long time, eventually they will be able to choose something that’s important to them and they patiently wait for that elusive day. If any of these resonate with you (or a similar theme) please know that you aren’t alone. However, as a highly sensitive soul, you most likely know exactly what feels right for you, what you want to do, and what that looks, feels, and sounds like. It’s also important to know that no matter what dream you have in your heart for this season or any season, it’s valuable, it’s enough, and worthy of enjoying now. Maybe one of the shifts you can make this month is prioritizing the experiences, values, and themes that are important to you and your vision for your quality of life. You can add seemingly small things to your days throughout the month that will help you to sink into and immerse yourself in the season as well as saying yes to some bigger activities or invitations that resonate for you. It’s not about how big or small the action is that you choose to enjoy, it’s that you choose to invest in the experiences, practices, and quality of life that resonates for you and your soul.

Choose this season as the season that you’ve been waiting for to say yes to the dreams that you hold inside your heart. Choose today to begin enjoying the things that have been quietly on your list of things that are meaningful for you. You don’t need to wait for another year or another month or another season, this is the right time to honor your inner knowing of what is right for you. This is the right time to light your heart lamp and let it lead you to the people, places, and experiences that resonate for you. You are enough and this is the right time to say yes to the calling in your heart.

As always, I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo
