Happy Autumn Equinox
Sep 21st, 2008 by Amrita
Today is the day to celebrate the turning of the seasons from Summer into Winter. Day and night are balanced; summer Solstice is the longest day, winter Solstice is the longest night, and the Equinoxes (spring and autumn) are when day and night are the same length of time.
Harvest is abundant at this time of the year (for those of us in the northern hemisphere!) and our bodies and our psyches begin to turn more inward in preparation for winter.
Life in the modern world can distract us from these realities; I find that honoring these days in some way that is personally satisfying is very helpful in my holding awareness of my environment’s impact on my consciousness.
