In this week's episode, I'm going be talking about embracing change and getting inspiration from nature. All of us face change at some time in our lives, it can be a difficult experience for many people. We are creatures of habit and tend to resist anything that disrupts our routine. However, change is absolutely necessary for growth and development. Without change, we would remain stagnant and unable to move on or progress. 

Change can take many forms, a major life event like job loss, breakup, divorce, or simply something like a change in routine. And many of us find it hard to cope and it can have a massive, profound effect on our lives. I believe getting inspiration from nature can really lessen its impact. As we understand that we move in cycles, as the seasons do, we also change and evolve.

Here are the highlights:

(02:13) The more we get in tune with nature's cycles, the more we become in tune with the divine flow of life.

(02:36) We can learn from the wisdom of nature.

(04:05) We can learn from the resilience of trees.

(04:50) We connect with each element in the Awaken the Creatrix course.

(04:59) Earth

(05:11) Water

(06:21) Fire

(07:13) Wind

(08:36) The changing of the seasons is a beautiful reminder of the impermanence of life.
