To my mind, Autumn is all about turning inwards, slowing down, and letting go. To ground, find stillness and clarity. In autumn, we are preparing ourselves to be reborn with the new year. This is a time of turning inward and we begin exploring our “underground”-selves–our dreams and our intuitive powers.

It is the ‘moving inward’ energy of this season that enables us to look at and know ourselves more profoundly. Autumn energy returns us to our true essence, moves us to eliminate what we no longer need, and enables us to recognise yet again what is the most precious in our lives.
“Autumn: cooler, shorter days. A time to harvest all the goodness you created this year. Feast and celebrate your wins. Prune back to what no longer serves you and let it go. Put aside and prepare for winter.”
To embrace the seasonal change, you can ride the slower rhythms and, just like the leaves fall gently to the earth, begin to let go of lifestyle choices and actions that sit better with the brighter days and shorter nights of summertime. This less-is-more approach as you head into the mists and mellow fruitfulness of Autumn will create the space to reflect, to “be” more with yourself, to observe what YOU need to feel good in the darker months
