Today marks the halfway point between the Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere. Believe it or not, we’re at the declining half of the summer season. It’s a powerful time of year for transition and also an opportunity to take inventory on our energy, resources, and abundance before the season changes. The last few weeks of summer and early weeks of fall are considered the harvest time. It’s time to collect, enjoy, and store the fruits, vegetables, and goods that we’ve worked so hard to grow all year. The summer to fall transition can be the hardest transition of the year because we’re moving from the biggest and expansive season to an inward and slower season.

Happy Fall Equinox for those in the Northern Hemisphere! We have been transitioning the last few weeks to get to this point with the Earth element energy that is grounding, stable and centering. You may have noticed yourself feeling more tired and exhausted the last few days. This is your body’s way of slowing down the pace. We have finally arrived at the two Yin seasons for the year. Fall and Winter represent the Metal and Water elements, which means quieting and healing the deepest parts of ourselves, down to the bones.
