The autumn equinox speaks of endings, but also of new beginnings. Astrologically speaking, it is a very important moment, as it marks the point of balance in the cycle of the year. In other words, it is the moment when day and night have the same length.
What do you need to know about the autumn equinox?
This phenomenon takes place on September 22, and also coincides with the first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere. This means that for those living in the southern hemisphere, the equinox opens the door to spring and ushers in warmer days.
In many cultures, the autumn equinox has historically been a time of reflection, of gratitude. It is a time to find inner balance, to reconnect with nature and with the natural cycles of the Earth. It invites us to pause, to reflect on what we have accomplished so far, and at the same time, to prepare us for the new beginnings that await us in the fall.
And we say that the autumn equinox is more than a time of closure, as it is a portal to new ideas, relationships and goals in our lives. We let go of all that we don't want in our path, so we can focus on what lies ahead.
As we prepare for this equinox, we can take advantage of its energy to do a mental and emotional cleansing and release those burdens that prevent us from moving forward.
That's why today we want to share with you some tips that will help you connect with yourself and make the most of the power of the autumn equinox.
1. Ritual of liberation
This is one of the most powerful rituals for the autumn equinox. It is a symbolic way to let go of everything that no longer serves us and welcome new goals.
The ritual consists of writing down on a piece of paper all the things you want to let go of: fears, worries, negative habits or anything that blocks your path.
Once you have written everything down, it is time to take action. Burn the paper in a container. This is the moment when you will see how all the burdens are dissolving.
2. Gratitude exercises
The autumn equinox is also the ideal time to give thanks for the new beginnings that the season brings. That's why another ritual you can carry out is a gratitude journal.
It involves writing down in a journal all the things you are grateful for. Make a list of all the achievements and challenges you have faced during the year. It is a very personal moment in which you can align yourself with the generosity of nature and attract more positive energy.
Once you have your list made, keep the journal in a special place as a reminder of your new beginning.
You can also practice the exercise of gratitude occasionally or even encourage yourself to start a healing routine where you dedicate 5 minutes a day to being grateful.
3. Autumn altar
One of the most special tips to welcome autumn is to create an altar. It is the best way to connect with the energy of the season and honor the changes. It will serve as a sacred space for meditation and reflection.
First, you need to choose a special, quiet space in your home. A table, a corner of a room, or that corner where you feel at peace, where you can put an autumn tablecloth.
Then add dried leaves and seasonal fruit such as apples, pumpkins or chestnuts. These elements represent harvest and abundance.
If you want to add an extra touch to your altar, add candles to create a cozy and celebratory atmosphere, as well as incense to bring a pleasant smell to the scene.
4. Clean your home
Burning incense is the most effective practice to cleanse your home of stagnant energy and renew the space. It is important that when you light the incense, you visualize a clear intention for this ritual.
You will start by burning the incense in one of the rooms in your house and work your way through each one. You have to keep the incense moving, making sure to go through all the corners and nooks of your home.
We recommend that you choose sage or palo santo incense. Both have very purifying properties. Afterwards, you can also seal the Palo Santo to create a barrier against negative energies.
5. Ritual of balance
Finally, the last ritual we recommend is the ritual of balance. It is the way to align your body and mind with the energy of the season. The autumn equinox is the best time to harmonize your interior and exterior.
One way to achieve this balance is through the practice of yoga. Choose a time when you are relaxed and can concentrate. It is important to listen to your body and let yourself flow so that your moment of connection is total!
And with all these tips, you are ready for the autumn equinox!
