Find a comfortable space and allow the light around you to soften.

Light your Autumn tealights and take a moment to watch the flame. Find a heatproof jar and place it on a stable surface away from flammable items

If you have your Forest blend and aromastone nearby, add 2 drops of the blend onto the stone and notice the scent filling the room.

Take three slow breaths

As you breathe out, imagine releasing the busyness of the day.

You have nowhere else to be

Nothing else to accomplish

For now, simply arrive

Take your Breathe Easy balm and warm a small amount in your fingers, massage lightly onto pulse points or your arms. As you apply it, bring your attention to your body.

Feel your feet against the floor

Notice the weight of your body

Feel your breath moving in and out

Imagine yourself like a tree in Autumn, grounded beneath the surface, even as the world around you changes.

Take another slow breath and ask yourself

What helps me feel grounded when life is changing?

Make yourself comfortable and begin your Autumn Equinox guided meditation.

Allow yourself to settle into the slower rhythm of the season.

As you listen, reflect on the journey you’ve taken since the beginning of the year.

Winter’s stillness

Spring’s awakening

Summer’s abundance

And now autumn’s invitation to pause

There is no need to judge the journey

Simply witness it

Play your Autumn Equinox Guided Meditation

When your meditation ends, take your orange calcite crystal and hold it in your hand. Orange calcite is the colour of an autumnal day, it is used for balance and will boost your energy and motivation.

Think about the intentions you planted earlier in the year.

Some may have blossomed

Some may still be growing

Some may no longer matter to you.

And that’s okay.

Consider

• What am I grateful for from this year?

• What has brought me joy?

• What has taught me something important?

• What am I proud of?

• Who or what has supported me along the way?

Let yourself acknowledge the good, even the smallest things count.

Autumn reminds us that letting go is a natural part of growth. Think about something you are ready to release.

It might be an old habit

A limiting belief

A disappointment

An expectation

A relationship with something that no longer serves you.

Or simply the pressure to be someone you have outgrown

Write it down, then take a slow breath and say quietly

“I thank this for what it has taught me, I release what I no longer need. I make space for what comes next”

You can keep the paper, tear it up, or dispose of it safely, whatever feels meaningful to you.

There is no need to force yourself to let go of anything you’re not ready to release.

Sometimes, simply acknowledging it is enough.

Take our your Autumn mindfulness colouring page. As you work, think about the abundance that already exists around you.

Write down five things you are grateful for, they can be big or small.

• A person

• A memory

• A lesson

• A place

• Something your body allow you to experience

• A moment that made you smile

• Something you once wished for that is now part of your life

Let gratitude bring your attention back to what is here.

Return to your candle

Look at the flame and take three slow breaths

With the first, what has been

With the second, release what you no longer need.

With the third, welcome what is yet to come

Think back to the Winter Solstice ritual, you began the year by resting, then you awakened, you grew. You experienced the fullness of summer and now you have arrived here at another turning point.

The cycle isn’t ending, it is beginning again.

When you are ready, extinguish your candle safely and take one final moment to thank yourself for making the time to be here.

The step gently back into your evening, you don’t need to know what the next season will bring.

You only need to trust yourself to meet it

Your Autumn Solquinox box contains Poppy seeds, they can be sown now. Simply throw the seeds where you would like them to grow, they will need a sunny spot.

As you sow the seeds, remember the cycle

• seeds are planted

• things grow

• they flower

• they bear fruit

• and eventually, they return to the earth to grow again

• nothing is wasted, everything becomes part of what comes next

Ask yourself “what do I want to carry forward?”

And perhaps most importantly, “what am I happy to leave behind?”
