The Month of Elul: Days of Instrospection and Transformation

Each month of the year radiates with a distinct quality and provides unique opportunities for growth and personal transformation. Elul, as the final month of the spring/summer season is connected to endings. Elul gives us the strength to be able to finish strong, to end well. Elul also serves as a month of preparation for the New Year/Rosh Hashanah. We inhale our past year, ending with wisdom and we also then gain the wisdom to begin anew and exhale a positive year into being. The mental, emotional and spiritual objective of this month is introspection and the reclaiming of our inner purity and wholeness.
