When we think of Fall, many of us think of all the yummy pumpkin-spiced themed food and drinks, and of course Halloween. When we think in terms of what is happening in the natural world around us, Fall signals the start of the Fall Equinox, a portal to a new season of being. This year’s Fall Equinox began on 9/22/25.

In the Yogic teachings, it is said: “The Equinox is the most important day in every human’s life”. This is due to the equinox’s symbolism of preparation for a new season. Though by the time you are reading this article the Equinox will have began, you can still engage in powerful intentions that can honor this cycle of your life. The Fall Equinox is a threshold-a sacred pause to root, align, and reflect on all that you have accomplished.

See below for ways you can embody the energy of Fall:

• Refresh your living space to reflect the changes in nature with Fall-related flowers and ornaments (bonus points if you can collect them responsibly from nature)
• Light a candle and say a prayer or meditate on all that you have harvested this past year
• Start incorporating grounding foods into your diet, such as squash and pumpkin
• Honor this new cycle by consciously thinking of and implementing ways to increase rest as we eventually move into Wintertime

When we align fully with the rhythms of nature, we allow the best versions of ourselves to step forward.  

In what ways will you honor this new season?

I am hosting several classes in partnership with Austin Community College called Intro to Herbalism, Infusions 101 and Taking Impeccable Care of Yourself. In the Herbalism Class we will be making herbal infusions together in class. Participants will learn about indigenous herbs and their uses. In Taking Impeccable Care, participants will leave with a Soul-Care routine based on the Ayurvedic and Alkaline lifestyle.
