Testimonials
“I feel very empowered and motivated. There is a feeling of hope and optimism that I didn’t have before. I also feel like I’m making big strides in some major life goals that are in alignment with my life purpose."
“I started using it, I felt a profound shift. My motivation increased almost immediately, and I’ve found myself getting stuck into tasks I’ve been avoiding for months. There’s a renewed sense of purpose and a fire in my belly to grow my business, take action, and keep moving forward. I’ve also noticed an almost instinctive urge to declutter and let go. Whether it’s clearing physical clutter at home or releasing emotional patterns that no longer serve me, I've been clearing out my whole life in preparation for the start of the new cycle next year."
Autumn upon us
This September feels like a switch has been flicked and the days and nights seem significantly colder and the vibrancy of summer has come to a quick close for us.
However embracing and feeling grateful for the distinctive seasons as we shift ourselves to crisp mornings and darker evenings.
Autumn invites us to slow down and gently prepare our bodies and minds for the colder months ahead.
Personally I will be preparing my body with an annual cleanse to release toxins accumulated and give my body a rest before going into the Winter months, I will share this 7 day cleanse in the next few days if you feel drawn to join me in a body cleanse.
The Autumn Equinox on Monday 22nd September 2025
And as we journey through September, we also meet a powerful moment of transition: the Autumn Equinox. This is when day and night are perfectly balanced, inviting us to reflect on balance within our own lives, to let go of the excesses of summer, and to welcome comfort, nourishment, and grounding as we move towards winter.
What are you doing for the Autumn Equinox?
Natural Effects and Symbolism
The balance between day and night and light and dark is a reminder that balance in all things is possible. The harmony of life lies in the balance of your mind, balance of your emotions and the balance of your body as well as the symphony of nature and its cycles.
We give thanks to the earth, recognising its brilliance of the cycles of nature and the abundance of food that is harvested right for what our bodies need to take us into winter.
In Japan this day is a public holiday known as Shubun no Hi where people visit and clean the graves of ancestors and spend time with family.
Autumn Equinox Traditions and Rituals
You can mark this turning point with simple but powerful rituals
🌾 Gratitude Ritual
Write down what you are thankful for from the past summer months. Place your list under a candle and read it aloud, sealing the energy of abundance.
🍎 Harvest Feast
Cook a nourishing meal with seasonal foods (apples, squashes, root vegetables). Eat mindfully and with gratitude give thanks for the harvest and the nourishment it brings.
🕯 Balance Meditation
Sit quietly and visualise day and night in perfect harmony. Reflect on where you need more balance in your life. Is it between work and home life, activity and rest, giving and receiving, action and stillness.
🍂 Release Ceremony
Write down habits, thoughts, or emotions you want to let go of as we move into autumn. Burn the paper safely or bury it in the earth, symbolising release and transformation.
Emotional and Spiritual Cleansing
Just as we cleanse the body, September invites us to release old energy emotionally:
Open your windows and let the crisp air refresh your home.
Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to cleanse stagnant energy.
Use flower the 2025 Australian Bush Flower Essence to help you through this period of change or the transition essence for life changes and the strength to cope and see the possibilities in the new.
Grounding, connecting to the earth helps us to feel the security of the earth and it harmonises our frequency with the earth. The most wonderful tool if you are feeling anxious or unbalanced.
September sunshine at any chance you get to allow the light to absorb into your body helps us to cleanse our energy.
Final Thought
September teaches us that change doesn’t need to be rushed, it can be gentle, supportive, and deeply comforting. By honoring the Autumn Equinox and embracing seasonal rituals, you gift yourself the chance to enter autumn feeling balanced, cleansed, and held.
✨ This month, focus on balance, gratitude, and small comforting rituals. Your body and spirit will thank you as we move deeper into the season.
