Although it seemed like just yesterday, it was
about 25 years ago when I was living on a small
island in the middle of the South Pacific. Maui.
Every autumn, the Asian community observed a
six-day celebration. It started three days before
the fall Equinox and lasted for three days after
it’s over. The Six-day ritual is used to
acknowledge the six perfections:
• Generosity
• Observance of the Precepts
• Perseverance
• Effort
• Meditation
• Wisdom
There is a saying in the Orient that, a person
needs all six before he goes from this shore of
Samsara (The endless cycle of suffering caused by
birth death and re-birth) to the further shore or
Nirvana.
IF you haven’t heard of Nirvana it is the place
free from suffering and individual incredible
existence, the ritual includes repentance of past
sins and prayers for enlightenment in the next
life.
It’s a time for The Performance of positive deeds,
which are greater to those practiced at any other
time of the year. As well as making offerings to
ancestors. These good deeds become a great
blessing enabling one to reach “the other shore.”
The Autumnal Equinoxes, are the Ideals for
reflecting on the meaning of life.
Ancestral practices aren’t part of Western Culture, but when
trying to shift directions in my life and things
seem impossible to accomplish, I focus my
meditation on my ancestors and call on them for
help and guidance, to stay on the right path.
Autumn is here the day and night are equal in
length right now but soon we will have more
darkness than light as winter arrives.
In the Chinese five-element system it’s the metal
element that’s most active, ruling the lungs and
large intestine.
You may notice more colds, coughs and skin
disorders for a few months. Emotionally speaking,
this phase is about letting go of grief, sadness,
old attachments and emotional baggage.
On the positive side the metal element brings in
Valor, Courage and a time to Move Forward in life.
That’s exactly what I am focusing on, moving
forward and getting things done.
I have increased my workout time and I am
practicing both morning and evening. The best
times to train are at sunrise and sunset. If you
