On Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, my favorite time of the year begins. I absolutely love the holiday season, relishing in the celebrations of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with my family, and all the festivities and activities we partake in. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, Christmas lights, holiday shopping, and the joyful atmosphere with my little one. Football season is also back, adding to the excitement. To top it all off, the weather gets cooler, and it’s time for sweaters and boots to make a comeback! The leaves change color creating such a beautiful landscape. I am immensely grateful for these moments of happiness spent with loved ones. “Magic is in the air” is an understatement when it comes to describing the festive ambiance during this time of year. The family meals, enduring rituals, Christmas carols, and of course, the spirit of generosity that prevails, it all contributes to what I particularly cherish.

The autumn equinox occurs when the sun sits directly over the equator, creating fall in the Northern hemisphere and spring in the Southern hemisphere. Living in the Pacific Northwest in the United States allows me to experience autumn to the fullest. In honor of the start of fall, here are my favorite rituals and traditions.

1. Vibrant Nature Walks: During autumn, the forests come alive with a vibrant display of colors, with leaves transitioning from green to shades of orange, red, and gold. I enjoy taking walks along trails surrounded by trees and fallen leaves, where I can admire the beauty of nature during this season.
2. Practice Gratitude: Autumn is the perfect season to give our thanks for all the blessings in our lives. I like to keep a journal that I use every night as part of my night routine where I write three things that I am thankful for that day.
3. Bonfires: As temperatures drop, gathering around an outdoor bonfire becomes a comforting activity. Coming together with friends and family to roast marshmallows and share stories is a tradition I cherish during autumn. The scent and warmth of the fire, combined with the crisp breeze, create a magical atmosphere.
4. Comforting Meals: Autumn is the ideal time to indulge in warm and comforting dishes. I enjoy preparing creamy soups, stews, and pumpkin pies. The aromas and flavors of these culinary delights become even more cozy during this time of year.
5. Decorating with Autumnal Elements: Adorning my home with autumnal elements creates a cozy and festive ambiance. I use pumpkins, dried leaves, berry branches, and scented candles to add a special touch to my space. It’s wonderful to see how the decor reflects the spirit of autumn and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
6. Get in Manifesting Frequency: The change of seasons is a great time to bring about change in your life. What are some desires you want to bring into your 3D world? Create space for it. Light a candle, mediate, listen to Neville Goddard, script, visualize whatever works for you.

I hope these rituals and traditions inspire you to make the most of the autumn season. Embrace this time to connect with nature, savor new flavors, and create memorable moments with your loved ones. Happy fall!
