Harness the energy of autumn with these rituals

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

The leaves change, the wind blows, the days get shorter, and everything smells and tastes like pumpkin spice, which could only mean one thing: autumn has finally arrived. Although nostalgia for the end of summer can make it difficult to accept the change of seasons with open arms, there is no reason to worry, once we tell you the spiritual meaning of the equinox and how you can work with the autumn energy, you will understand how revitalizing this astronomical event can be.

What is the spiritual significance of the autumnal equinox?

On September 23 we welcomed one of the most anticipated seasons of the year, the one in which you can wear beautiful, knitted sweaters and drink a hot chocolate while watching the leaves fall, that’s how we talk about autumn, but more than its comfort and aesthetics, autumn has a great spiritual meaning.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, an equinox occurs when the center of the Sun crosses what is considered Earth’s equator from space, ushering in autumn.

Simply put, the autumnal equinox is balance, which represents the harmony between light and dark, and encourages us to seek balance in our own lives, finding the middle way between extremes. It is a perfect opportunity for inner growth, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing change with an open heart.

How to work with autumn energy

To connect in nature, what is better than a meditation session under the stars?

We recommend you relax in a field away from the city lights and meditate to immerse yourself in your mind clearing your mind and resting your body.

But if you want to take advantage of the magical energy of autumn, we leave you a couple of rituals that you can do to receive this season in the best way.

Meditate and visualize

As you meditate, ask the universe to refresh your energy, and visualize yourself as if you begin to shed skin to a new one, one that will help you navigate the fall season and protect you from strong winds. Once you finish your viewing session thank the universe.

Connect with nature

If you have access to a forest, park, or green area now is the time to connect with Mother Nature.

As you walk among the trees, let the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest envelop you, choose a tree or plant that resonates with you, and spend time in silent meditation, seeking guidance from the tree’s spirit, or connecting with its energy.

Have a tea


To perform this ritual you will need:

  • 2 cups of milk of your choice
  • 2 black tea bags (optional)
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons of the sweetener of your choice.

Note: During the preparation, it is important that you have your intentions clear, as we discussed earlier, think of a new awakening, a new page in your book of life, and give thanks for everything that has been cultivated and what is about to perish and flourish.

Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat, until it begins to bubble around the edges of the pan.

Add the 2 tea bags to the hot milk pot. Wait 3 to 5 minutes for the tea to steep, then remove the bags.

Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sweetener. Beat to combine, stirring over medium heat, until the mixture is very hot and ready to serve.

While you drink your blend, take the opportunity to relax your body and let this concoction cleanse your aura and put you in tune with the energy of autumn.

What is face tapping and how it can improve your mood

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

If you still don’t know what face tapping is, it’s time to start doing it.

This technique, which consists of gently tapping your face while saying affirmations, has many benefits, and although it sounds strange and looks weird, it helps calm stress and anxiety levels to improve your mood.

What is tapping?

Tapping is a technique that mixes Chinese acupuncture and some elements of modern psychology. It consists of giving small taps with your fingers in different strategic parts of the body while saying positive phrases about yourself. It is a quick tool to regulate our mood and calm our anxiety because it only takes a few minutes, and the results are almost immediate.

It is ideal to be able to do it ourselves, we only need our fingers, to know the specific points and the phrases and thoughts to say to release our emotions and feelings.

How to tap?

As mentioned tapping is relatively easy, you need 3 to 10 minutes to see results and feel calmer.

The first thing you need to do is recognize how stressed or anxious you feel at the time, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is not stressed at all and 10 is super stressed.

Then you must give yourself small blows under the little finger, where your hand joins the wrist, that fleshy part, while you give yourself the blows you must say your affirmation three times … An example is: “Even though I am stressed, I love myself, I accept, and know that everything is going to be okay.”

Then, you must tap five to seven times, before moving on to the next place, and repeat another phrase, an example is “I let go of all the stress” or “I allow everything to flow”.

The points to touch are:

  • The head
  • The eyebrows
  • The side of the eye
  • Under the eyes
  • Under the nose
  • Chin
  • The collarbone
  • The chest
  • Under the armpits

Repeat this sequence of strategic points and blows, until you feel calmer and that number on the scale from 1 to 10, decreases.

Tapping is not the solution to all our problems. Although it is a tool of great help to reduce our stress day by day, and we can do it as many times as we want as long as it does not harm us, remember that it is always important to see a specialist.

Now that you know Tapping and how it can help you improve your mood, it’s time to put it to the test and see how you feel calmer and more relaxed, after tapping yourself and repeating your affirmations.

The effective workout of Sofia Richie that yes or yes you have to do

Sofia Richie is prioritizing her health in any way she can!

The model, 24, shared a 15-minute workout routine to TikTok to show how she stays fit amid her busy schedule. She welcomed the camera into her home gym as she and her certified fitness and pilates trainer, Elizabeth Vidor got to work.

Dressed in an all-black fit and her hair slicked back with a thick headband, the exercise routine for the lower body consists of three 45-second sets of rope jumping, which include some leg crossings, she then moves on to weighted medicine ball slams, where she picks it up off the floor in a squat and holds it above her head before throwing it down and doing the move again. Afterward, we see her enjoy a break by taking her Stanley Tumbler in an aesthetic and elegant charcoal gray tone.

The next round is chest presses with her hips up in a bridge position as she squeezes a pilates ring between her thighs, raising her hips off the floor while lifting weights. She doesn’t give the number of repetitions for this, but she quickly goes into an ab exercise where she holds a weight and alternates touching each heel to work her obliques. This is followed by a series of side-to-side crunches while holding the weights and a sprint exercise in place.

Richie’s finisher is mountain climbers, which leaves her curled up on the floor when done. Her trainer laughs from behind the camera at the exhaustion a 15-minute workout can cause.

6 poetry books you have to read

All That You Deserve – Jacqueline Whitney

This book has brief comforting thoughts/ideas, some might think what is the use of reading a book like this? But for us personally, we feel that this book brings comfort on every page, it’s like you’re reminded of every little thing you knew about yourself but kept forgetting.

What Kind of Woman – Kate Baer

Kate talks about real-world topics, and her social commentary is beautifully written. She sees themes related to motherhood and marriage through a lens of raw and honest emotions, moving from joy to pain, to passion, to fear, and everything in between seamlessly, often in just a few lines or stanzas.

The sun and its flowers – Rupi Kaur

Rupi Kaur is one of the most popular poets of our time, and for good reason. In “The Sun and Its Flowers” she explores themes such as love, loss, and self-discovery. Her poems are like rays of sunshine on a cloudy day, full of positivity and joy.

A whale is a country – Isabel Zapata

Through various investigations and hard data, real particular stories, and reinventing reality, Zapata starts from all this to poetize nature: whales, horses, bears, dogs, gorillas, and others. She makes an original and very poetic creative exercise where he denounces our dealings with nature and how magical, lyrical animals are by themselves.

Devotions – Mary Oliver

This collection is a good introduction to her work, published in 2017, a couple of years before her passing. The book presents more than 200 of his poems arranged in reverse chronological order, the most recent first. Her poetry is full of awe at the simplest things, her sense of the oneness of all things, and her desire to be one with them. Some of our favorite poems are “Praying,” “Why I Wake Early,” and “The Gift.”

New Names for Lost Things – Noor Unnahar

This book combines Noor Unnahar’s powerful poetic voice and signature collage-style visual art into a book of very personal reflections on loss, inheritance, and what lies behind the non-linear path to becoming who you ought to be. Some of our favorite poems are: “The Hunted”, “Pockets” and “My mother asks about love” and one of our favorite quotes is: “You were so protected once – it almost made you ungrateful.”
