Embracing Our Luminous Nature: Reflections on Inner Brilliance and Seasonal Change
As I sit in my office, watching the apples on the tree outside turn various shades of red, I am reminded of the beautiful, fleeting nature of change. This transformation happens so swiftly, signaling the arrival of autumn. The full moon at night, the shortening days, and the subtle shift in temperature all indicate that the heat of summer has passed. Each season brings more than just changes in weather and light; it brings new opportunities, challenges, ideas, and wisdom that guide us through life's lessons.
Returning home after a holiday in Canada with my husband, I was greeted by a single sunflower from my garden, prominently placed on my table. In just ten days, it seemed to have tripled in size. Outside my window, the Nasturtium pots are bursting with vibrant colors, nourished by the heat and rain. Observing these plants' growth and brilliance makes me ponder our own luminous nature, the inner brilliance we often overlook.
What if we focused on this luminous nature within us, the essence of these beautiful plants that mirrors our own? The inner brilliance that resides in a newborn baby is within all of us, often hidden from view. Instead of focusing on the energy of conflicts, what if we focused on who we truly are—brilliant, bright beings in this very moment?
Maria Nemeth, in her book Mastering Life's Energies, shares a powerful insight: if we pay attention to the qualities of our highest and greatest mentors, we begin to see what we admire in them. By recognizing these traits, we have an opportunity to see the light within ourselves, the brilliance we have chosen to see in others.
As we embrace the changing seasons, let us also embrace the luminous nature within us. Just as the apples turn red and the sunflowers grow, we too can cultivate and recognize our inner brilliance. The beauty we see in others is a reflection of the beauty that shines through us. By focusing on this inner light, we can navigate the challenges and opportunities of each season with grace and wisdom.
In each season of our lives, let us remember to celebrate our inner brilliance and the luminous nature that is our birthright. This perspective not only enriches our own lives but also helps us see and cultivate the brilliance in those around us.
