I like to believe that seasonal depression stems from the slower pace of the late fall and winter seasons. Of course, the lack of the sun rays and warmth it (the sun) brings forth in the warmer seasons plays its part, but I see it being so much more than that now. The colder seasons demand stillness and presence. They require us to surrender to the orders of nature. Living in a world that’s always in motion and doesn’t spend much time within itself (if any at all), this time can be unsettling. The call to come home to self is so foreign that the egoic mind loses its balance. Causing the shadows of the disillusioned aspects within us to rise to the surface all at once. Showing us what we truly need, desire, and have to let go/ let be.

This is why “cuffing” season tends to happen around this time of the year. Not just because it’s cold outside and it makes sense to cuddle up for physical warmth, but because the heart can stand in its yearning for the love and pleasure it seeks with greater ease. Which is why there tends to be a lot more summer babies, ha. Everybody be getting it in.

Although I hate the cold because I simply can’t endure coldness. My body struggles with regulating its normal temperature (that damn fibromyalgia)… I love the fall and winter seasons. I love the intimacy that usually exists during this time. I love how much calmer and more balanced things feel around this time of the year. I love how our awareness can expand deeper and how we’re given the opportunity to grow stronger in our discipline of it. I also love the melancholy that creeps in through the cracks and crevices of our beings. I am more accepting of the release and resolution that lives here. Knowing that our roots are formed during this change in seasons. Unfortunately, most simply can’t see how angelic and vital these transitions and phases are. But I am grateful the veil continues to be lifted from my EYE(I). Thankful for this clarity/revelation, higher-ups.
