🍂 Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂
Today is the Autumn Equinox which is a point of balance between the light and the dark, before the nights gradually become longer
I took this little video of the trees today and watching the autumn colours move in the breeze made me pause. As the leaves begin to let go, the trees offer us a gentle reminder: we don’t have to hold on to everything either.
There’s something about this season that invites us to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and release what we’re ready to leave behind. Nature has so much wisdom to share when we take the time to notice.
Autumn teaches us about transition, trust, patience, and the beauty of allowing things to unfold in their own time 🍁
The three main themes of the Autumn Equinox are:
1. Balance — honouring the balance between light and darkness.
2. Gratitude — reflecting on the harvest and appreciating what we have.
3. Release — letting go of what no longer serves us and making space for the season ahead.
The trees don’t hold onto their leaves because they’re afraid of what comes next. They simply let them go when the time is right 🍂 Which is such a potent reminder for me at the moment as I prepare to birth this new little person into the world!
There’s a beautiful lesson in that for us too. The seasons show us that change is natural, rest is necessary and letting go can be part of growing. Its not necessarily about us losing something but instead making space for the new to grow!
So, as we welcome this new season, I’d love to hear from you:
🍁 What are you ready to let go of?
🤎 What are you feeling grateful for right now?
🌿 What do you want to carry with you into the months ahead?
Share one word, a thought, or even an emoji in the comments. I’d love to know what this season is stirring in you, and together we can create a little autumn reflection 💚
Happy Autumn Equinox everyone! 🍂🤎
Le grá,
