ONE - Prepare Your Pantry

Autumn and winter are times of rest, but it’s also important to maintain your physical and mental well-being. As part of your ritual, prepare your body for the colder months by stocking up on nourishing foods—root vegetables, warming spices, and herbal teas. Make a list of your favorite comfort foods and make a trip to the store just to buy these items and nothing more. Be intentional about this shopping experience. Once home place these items in an area where they are accessible and bring you great joy and comfort. This might be a great time for a pantry cleanse. Maybe place some cinnamon sticks or star anise in an open container so that your pantry is invitingly fallish.

TWO - Exercise & Wellness Practices

Autumn and winter months are wonderful for creating indoor exercise and wellness practices. Consider starting a daily practice of yoga, Tai Chi, floor Pilates, dancing, or a moving meditation to help keep your body active and your mind calm. This preparation phase is about fortifying yourself, ensuring that you have the energy and resilience to thrive during the colder months. A mere 10 minutes twice a day will make a huge difference both physically and mentally.

THREE - Create a Cozy Space

As the days grow shorter and colder, create a cozy space in your home where you can retreat and recharge. Fill this space with soft blankets, candles, and comforting scents like cinnamon or cedar wood. This sanctuary will serve as a haven for rest, reflection, and relaxation throughout the autumn and winter months. Whenever you feel the need for warmth and comfort, return to this space to rejuvenate your spirit. Add books and a journal to inspire and comfort your imagination.

FOUR - Light a Candle

Honor the season’s transition by acknowledging the passage of time from summer to autumn and winter. On the evening of the full moon, light a candle at sunset keeping in mind the symbolism of light in the darker autumn and winter months.

FIVE - Acknowledge & Recognize

After lighting your candle, spend a few moments in silence, acknowledging the shift in energy and setting a personal commitment to embrace the autumn and winter season with grace and gratitude. This act of recognition helps you to connect with the natural cycles of the earth, grounding you in the present moment and preparing you for the introspective journey ahead.
