Fall is my favorite time of year! Cooler temperatures, cashmere sweaters, hot tea, and my birthday month. After the great light of summer, we must welcome the depth and mystery of fall. This is a time when endings make way for new beginnings. Mother Nature begins preparing for a type of death, and we too may feel called to let things go. Because life is a circle, and nothing truly grows unless it dies. I find there is a beauty in new beginnings that start quietly under the darkness of colder months.
Here are 7 things we all can do to bring balance to our lives during the fall:
- Fall is the season of the metal element which is represented in the shape of a circle and in colors like silver, grey gold, white and black. I like to bring in wear these colors and I send myself white flowers.
- This is a wonderful season to clean out all the clutter from summer.
- Pull off the dead leaves from your garden. We don’t want any stagnant dead energy.
- Replace your doormat which symbolically will represent bringing new opportunities in all aspects.
- Clean out all the expired canned goods and spices from your kitchen.
- Bring in candles that smell like cinnamon or pumpkin or anything that reminds you of fall and light those candles representing lighting the way to new opportunities.
- Have fresh fruit in a bowl in your kitchen symbolizing that you will never go hungry.
Fall is the perfect time to connect to the light and to the dark; the yin and yang; the masculine and feminine, because if we allow it, life can truly begin all over again in the fall.
