🍂 Autumn Equinox – Finding Balance 🍂
Today marks the Autumn Equinox – the moment in the year when day and night are equal. It’s a little reminder from nature about balance, and I think it’s a lovely time to pause and check in with ourselves.
As we shift into autumn, the pace of life can feel a bit different. The days get shorter, the air cooler, and our bodies often want slower, cosier routines. It’s the perfect season to lean into self-care and create balance in our own lives.
Here are some simple ideas you might try:
🕉️ Ground yourself – slower yoga flows, long stretches, and time spent really noticing your breath.
🕉️ Balance your energy – alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) is a great tool to bring calm and focus.
🕉️ Journal or reflect – ask yourself what you’ve “harvested” this year. What are you proud of? What lessons have you learned?
🕉️ Nourish your body – think warm drinks, hearty soups, and cosy blankets.
🕉️ Let go – just as the trees drop their leaves, it’s a lovely moment to think about what you no longer need to carry.
This time of year reminds us that balance doesn’t mean standing still — it’s about honouring both light and dark, activity and rest. So give yourself permission to slow down a little, breathe, and take care of you. 🍁
