Transitioning Through The Season With Ease

As we transition from summer to fall we prepare ourselves for winter. The energy of the plant world is going into the roots. Foliage is drying and turning beautiful colors. Squirrels are busy stealing seeds from the bird feeders and hoarding food to their "storage units". My goats are fluffing up with their new cashmere undercoat and the chickens and ducks are molting. My "friend" the bear is fattening up for hibernation.
As human beings, our bodies are attuned to the natural rhythm of nature as well. As the animal and plant kingdom we are guided by the rising and setting of the sun. We have the freedom to use electricity but when it gets dark earlier we might feel sleepy and need more sleep. The cycle of the moon affects our internal rhythm and emotions. With the weather getting colder most of us feel like eating heavier foods and more fats to sustain our energy. Some of us feel the need to fly south, others need to slow down. 
By listening to our deep internal clock, the one that tunes itself naturally to the environment we can stay healthy and happy. Otherwise we feel as if we are swimming against current, and it leaves us depleted. 
In Yoga the mind “chitta” and the intellect “buddhi” are differentiated. Our minds want to keep doing the same things and more. This is normal for the mind. Our intellects might tell us to keep warm, slow down and rest more because of the weather getting colder and the nights getting longer. By pressing the pause button for our mind and listen to our body and intellect we might transition through the season with more ease.
