    Happy Fall Equinox and Harvest

    Stepping outside in the early morning, the crisp cool air brushes against my skin. Overhead, the leaves are beginning to turn to vibrant autumn colors, while others rest on the ground, ready to return to the earth.

    Celebrating the fall harvest is a lovely way to honor the earth’s abundance and any energy we’ve invested leading up to this season.

    Perhaps your garden was one of “ideas” this year, seeds planted earlier this spring ready for harvest or future growth. Maybe you planted an actual garden and are enjoying the vegetables of the harvest.

    This is the season of the West on the Wheel, connected to the element of water. Envision or enjoy the feeling of actual water washing away any heavy energies or old narratives and stories. Embody the archetype of the puma or jaguar, stepping into the autumn season with courage, lighter and in harmony with self and all relations.

    Notice the beauty and joy that exists all around us on this beautiful earth.
