It seems that our, or at least my, energetic patterns are aligned with the environment in some mysterious and intimate way. It's as though my energy and desires are synchronized with the Earth's wobble, as the seasons change, the hormonal balance within my body invariably responds. During the summer it - it being my energy - grows into a vibrant wave, it's akin to the cycle of the trees. When the temperature and climate warm up my desire to assert and accomplish rises alongside it.
Just as it rises with the climate, so to does it gradually descend into the 'introverted hibernation' that I've now identified, an equally effective analogy is a sort of "character cocoon." This hibernation, as it were, begins near the end of September and around mid October it reaches it's steady state. Once in the steady state, where it balances and persists until the next rise, my desires steer towards calm walks, reflective thought, reading, writing, and meditation. The calm walk is a template for reflective thought and active meditation. Reflective thought is an inevitability after a strenuous or eventful few months, which occur during the summer.
This pattern could plausibly become a source of confusion for many people. To follow the pattern smoothly requires sensitivity and a capacity to yield to your patterns. If it begins to occur in the midst of resistance or reluctance, you'll feel a strange sense of emptiness or inadequacy. It's normal and natural to experience a trough in your energetic patterns, you don't need to feel weak or defective.
If you've set lofty goals for yourself which involve extreme and strenuous exertion, such as training for an event, don't feel weak when the energy isn't there. Especially if you've been exerting yourself for the past few weeks or months at exceptional levels. The pattern of existence is one with highs and lows, exertion and recuperation. Relent to the seasons and experience all the patterns of existence.
