Fall Equinox

September 22, 2024 – In Sanskrit, the word for autumn is Sharad Ritu. In Ayurveda, autumn is also known as the Vāta season, which is characterized by the following qualities: 

Vāta
The Sanskrit word for wind, which is cool, dry, light, brittle, and constantly moving and changing.

Ritusandhi
The autumnal equinox, which is the junction of two seasons and a time to prepare for the new season .

Some ways to ease into fall include: Slowing down, Building strong roots, Eating natural foods, Adding some spice, and Maintaining warmth. 

The autumnal equinox is a celestial event that marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south, and day and night are of equal length. This event is said to represent a balance between light and dark energies, and a time for reflection and introspection. 

Make time for yourself. Enjoy time in nature. Meditate. Journal. Be with your animals.
