The August Rhythm and How to Use It to Achieve Your Dreams

The August Rhythm and How to Use It to Achieve Your Dreams

As we enter August, we find ourselves at a natural turning point in the annual cycle.

Whether you are in the Northern Hemisphere watching summer reach its full, ripe peak, or in the Southern Hemisphere preparing to turn the corner from winter into spring, this time of year offers an essential moment to pause, realign and prepare. 

At the core of nature's design is rhythm: day and night, high and low tides, changing seasons, planting seeds and harvesting, inhale and exhale of our breath, beating heart.

When we lean into and honor these cycles, we are able to focus our goals, strategies, and actions with greater clarity, alignment, and a readiness to navigate challenges with poise and ease.

August is a month of completion before transition. Here is how we can align with nature now and prepare for the next phase of the year's unfolding.

If You Are in Northern Hemisphere

The first half of August brings the peak of summer's enriching energy: an abundance of lush greenery, vibrant blooms, fresh harvests, warm waters, long daylight, and sun.

This is a time to consciously soak in this vitality and anchor it within your mind, heart, and body, so we can expand from within and create a deep reservoir of nature's love and nutrients of abundance, positivity, and peace into the months of winter and hibernation. 

But first...  we need to make space for it. 

We need to release the accumulated weight of workload, stress, tension, uncertainty, and daily pressures that settle in the body and in the back of our mind often without us noticing it. 

Only when we clear what has built up, can we fully anchor the nourishment, richness, growth, and expansion we receive during the summer months.

If You Are in the Southern Hemisphere

This final month of winter can feel like a long-awaited phase before renewal. As you prepare to welcome new growth, fresh hope, and emerging possibilities, take time to honor where you are. Releasing the weight or inertia built up through the winter months creates a clean, open space in your heart for the new season to bloom.

Regardless of where you are on the map, honoring the completion of a natural cycle allows us to fully leverage nature’s wisdom in bringing our dreams to life and living a life we love, personally and professionally.

It also opens us to the wonder and magic of the next season so we can experience its deepest meaning.

At the core of nature’s cycles is growth. At the core of our own human drive toward self-actualization is growth.

The more we lean into nature’s rhythm, the easier, more joyful, and fulfilling our own unfolding will be.

…just really want to say thank you for today! It really was great! Really appreciate your calming demeanor and I think everyone responded well and I loved the participation!  27 people in this meeting, but the reach will be felt much further than the group today!  Thank you again!

"Everyone loved it."

Lisa Jacobi, Chief of HR at COCC

We had the opportunity for Anna to come out for a few team sessions at COCC. Most recently, she ran a mindfulness session for our entire HR team. It was a fantastic exercise for the team to break away from the day-to-day and go through a session together. Personally, I think it was great that we did it on a Friday afternoon together to start the weekend with a clear mind! The small group breakout sessions were great too. Definitely a different approach to mindfulness with plants!

The best training I've ever taken.

Empowering ourselves to grow with "self-coaching" techniques in today's climate of multiple changes is one description of Anna's 5-step "The Flow To Transformation" system. I have participated in her class in different settings and always walked away stronger in my ability to tap into my inner power and to make better decisions from a place of calm and inspiration. Anna's background in psychology and business finance helped develop this approach that's been used for years with both individuals and organizational teams.

" For years, I have had others tell me, “what you focus on is delivered.” I believed them, just not wholeheartedly, until I met Anna. Since I started working Anna, I have never felt better.

The incredible transformation of feeling into pain, and coming out of it with clarity, has been life changing for me. She gives you tools and guidance to help strengthen your core, and resolve your inner turmoil; which, in turn, helps you navigate your life in a more peaceful, harmonious way; while achieving results you never thought possible.

I can’t recommend Anna’s work highly enough, she is truly a gift.“

Debbie Perillo, HR Leader

*****

Anna gets to the heart of the matter in every issue she addresses. I am continually blown away by what can get dealt with using an activation. After an activation I feel calm, grounded and confident. They really help strengthen my connection to self, and realign with my natural state. Anna is so respectful of everyone's journey. I admire her expertise, commitment, and passion. I highly recommend her.
