The season of the Harvest is here!
Fall begins on September 23rd this year - the Equinox. The Equinox is a time when the hours of daylight and darkness are equal. After that, Autumn begins the dark, yin cycle when the daylight lasts less than 12 hours. This peaks at the Winter Solstice on December 21st.
Autumn brings inspirational ideas and an increasing awareness of inner processes. It is a good time to finish up projects started in Spring or Summer. It's also a good time to begin reflective, inward, and home-oriented projects.
A Few Autumn Health Tips:
- Drink ginger tea.
- Eat more healthy soups and stews. Warm, cooked foods are beneficial during this time.
- Increase more pungent foods such as garlic, ginger, horseradish, and mustard.
- Allow more time for rest, relaxation, and quiet contemplation.
- Try something new. Take a class or cook a new recipe. This will stimulate your mind and breaks up patterns that keep you stuck/stagnant.
