Autumn Sadhana/Act of Power
In the autumn we harvest the fruits of our seeds that we planted in the spring, and give
appreciation. The splendor and panorama of the vast array of rainbow colored leaves on the
various types of trees are breathtaking to behold. This season presents a perfect time to shed
old ways, habitual patterns and judgments that do not serve us.
Each quarter at this site we invite you to participate in a new ‘sadhana’ or Act of Power.
This quarter’s sadhana/act of power is as follows:
Autumn Sahadna
This Sadhana contains clearing and releasing processes, to enable us to come again in greater
strength and commitment, to plant new seeds in the seasons ahead.
- Look very thoroughly at what it is that continues to come back to you when you hear someone’s
name or something’s name. Make a list of these people and issues.
- Prepare a worksheet where you write out the answers to the following questions:
- What really keys your reactions?
- Something not said?
- Is it the need to change the person or thing?
- The need to have the last word?
- The need to be right?
Make sure you look closely at why you continue to engage. And very important, how do you act and
talk?
- Step back. How do you see your actions?
- What do you think of them?
- What if someone else acted like that?
- What kind of feedback do you receive?
- Are you embarrassed?
- Angry?
- Hurt?
- Depressed?
- How long has this been incomplete?
- It takes 30 days to program the mind. How deep is this one?
- How direct and honest have you been?
- Have you out and out lied?
- Now write the answers to the questions in number 1 above into a terrible story. Let it say all of
what you really feel. It’s not important to justify yourself, or to explain yourself.
- How would you like to see or feel about the issue or person or thing or place? Write down a happy
ending and outcome for everyone.
- For every name on your list, do this:
Name of person – Why would you choose to hold onto this situation? What is it costing me? Am I
willing to keep losing because of it?
When you decide to release the person, place or thing:
Call or write them – making sure you are not “dumping” or describing the views you have held as
responsible for the situation. You simply acknowledge your role – and resolve it.
One outline you can use follows:
Dear _______:
I would like to take the opportunity of this changing season and the beginning of some powerful
spiritual seasons ahead of us this fall and winter, to get very clear as to where I am with you in
our past experience.
I am strong enough to look directly into any emotional program I have ever participated in. I
choose to live in a purposeful and clear way, being totally aware of my responsibility in any
interaction with another. I will not blame or deny any of my actions.
For those who are not familiar with a spiritual path, the next letter is a sample of language you
can use to clear with them:
Dear _______:
Recently, you came to my mind and I reviewed our experiences together, and I want you to know, I
appreciate you in my life, and what that has come to be for me. I desire you to live happily in
all days.
