Flow with Autumn

Autumn totally embodies the process of letting go. The harvesting of fruits and leaves falling to the ground is such a natural time release and reflection. Nature is showing us how she naturally lets go with such elegance and beauty. It is also a such a celebratory time to feel gratitude and abundance for another magical Spring-Summer and the Harvest cycle.

We are now heading into a phase that is more receptive, replenishing and creative and you might find it be super rewarding and fulfilling to take a few minutes to look back on the Summer that was and be grateful. Reflect on what went well and what didn’t go well. Then look forward to the next three months. I love how every season is so tidily arranged into 3 month blocks - there is so much we can do in this time and it is lovely to build some super nourishing habits that are tailored around each seasonal transition. So let's use nature's elegant wisdom! If you would like to work along with this idea, I invite you to consider 3 (or 4 max) goals (think tiny goals) so that in July when Winter begins, you can look back and be really delighted about all that you committed to this season. 

Tune in

I invite you to tune into the vibes of recalibration and letting go and ask yourself, what practices, foods, beliefs or dynamics would you like to weave in or let go of. This is such a lovely opportunity to focus inwards on the less externally focused aspects of life and stay creative, inspired and learn new things.

Nourish

It’s important we take the time to nourish ourselves now and over Autumn so that we roll into Winter super nourished and prepared for the colder months, having cultivated good immunity.

Warming and cooked foods

The warmth of the Summer helps us to digest raw foods, salads and smoothies. Some of us have a strong digestive fire and can eat these foods all year round, however if you feel that your digestive system needs support, then as we begin to welcome the cooler weather beginning to transition to cooked and warming foods will help to nourish the body.

Soups, stews, slower cooking methods and warming spices such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, fennel, caraway, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, dill and cardamom as well as the woody/oily herbs rosemary, thyme and oregano.
