Episode 400: Simple Rituals for Autumn Equinox
This week we celebrate episode 400 (!!!) with a seasonal conversation about the autumn equinox and its meaning in feng shui practice. We explore the shift from expansive yang energy toward quieter yin energy and share three practical rituals to help align your home and habits with the season. We discuss why this turning point matters in both nature and home practice, then offer three simple rituals to help you gather, simplify, and reset for the months ahead. Tune in for practical, seasonal ways to align your spaces and energy with the rhythm of the year.
We cover:
The equinox signaling the transition into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere
The seasonal change and its connection to feng shui fundamentals, including the five elements, the bagua, and the movement between yin and yang
Autumn as a season of harvest, gathering, preserving, and preparing for winter
The metal element energy as a symbol of contracting, refining, clarifying, completing, and letting go
Three simple feng shui rituals to welcome the autumn
…and much more!
