October Affirmations: Tap Into This Month’s Energies

October Affirmations: Harvest, Ancestors, and Balance

It’s time to explore the energies of October and set out our positive affirmations for the month. Positive affirmations provide overall health & wellness benefits and can help us feel more optimistic and empowered. When we add awareness to the natural rhythms of nature, we can deepen our connection to both our inner world and our outer world.

In October, I like to focus on these key aspects: harvest, ancestors, and balance.

Harvest

October brings us pumpkins and apples and the end of the growing season. We celebrate all that has been created, and an equal sense of completion and endings. It is a time to recognize the harvest, the fruits of the seeds we have planted, what we have created, and the abundance we have. Equally, it is a time to reflect on the ending of a cycle and preparation for wintering over. In olden days we would take our harvest and salt, pickle and jar, storing away reserves so that we had what we needed over the winter.

I also enjoy looking at trees this time of year. Some trees set their buds now in preparation for the Spring, setting the stage for new growth in the Spring. I find this action to be full of hope and promise at a time when predominantly we are seeing the end of the cycle.

Creating Harvest Affirmations

We have elements of celebration, abundance, completion, endings, cycles, and preparation.

Here are five affirmations for Harvest

• I celebrate all that I create.
• I am abundant
• I am planting the seeds of new growth.
• I embrace my cycles of growth.
• I have all that I need.

Ancestors

October is a time to connect with our ancestors and to honor our lineage. Whether through Samhain or The Day of the Dead or All Souls Day (November 2,) the end of the month vibrations speak to us of our ancestry. October is also when the veil between this world and the spirit world thins. It is often during this month that my grandmother comes to me in dreams, that I smell my dad’s cologne, and I feel a deeper sense of connection to my female lineage.

We can carry forward the lessons of our linage and if this is the case, just know, you cannot work someone else’s lessons (dead or alive.) You can only work your lessons and do your healing. You can, however, send the healing you do on yourself, back to your ancestors.

Creating Ancestor Affirmations

We have elements of the mysteries of life, honoring who came before, and drawing on and connecting with our ancestors.

Here are five affirmations for Ancestors

• I am the power of my ancestors.
• I am guided by my ancestors.
• I give thanks to those who came before me.
• I see you, I thank you.
• My life is mine to create, the healing I achieve I send back to you.

Balance

Libra rules most of October, so affirmations that have to do with balance are aspects of October’s energies.

The Scales of Justice represent Libra and Libra is associated with balance, calm, and rationality. Libra is ruled by Venus so we also have aspects of beauty and harmony, which are two elements that create balance.

We can also look at Alignment and attunement to our Spiritual vibration are elements of balance.

The Sun enters Libra on the Autumnal Equinox infusing it more deeply with the energy of balance. The Equinox is the point at which the day and night are balanced or equal.

Balance is oftentimes something we seek externally, but I have found that when we create internal balance — balance in our hearts, our minds, our emotions, or inner truth, our outer worlds naturally become balanced.

Creating Balance Affirmations

We have elements of balance, calm, justice, rationality, beauty, and harmony as well as the importance of finding inner balance.

Here are five affirmations for Balance.

• I am balanced within.
• When I see beauty and harmony, I experience inner balance.
• My outer world is a reflection of my inner balance.
• I am aligned with my Spirit.
• I am in divine balance.

Tapping into the cycles of nature and the predominant energies of the month can help to amplify your affirmations and supercharge your practice.
