The Harvest moon has appeared, heralding the official arrival of autumn this week.
Autumn is a pivotal time of transition. As summer fades, fall invites us to acknowledge the fruits of our labor, savor them, and begin to turn inward. This season encourages us to:
Celebrate the harvest and enjoy nature's gifts of vibrant fall foliage
Sip warm herbal teas to support lung health and clarity
Complete long-term projects
Reflect, explore, and breathe deeply to help our bodies and minds transition into the new season
Autumn embodies the art of letting go. It's a time when many reflect on past experiences and prepare for new beginnings. This introspection often involves:
Releasing regrets
Reassessing outdated goals
Reevaluating relationships that may no longer serve us
For students and educators, autumn marks the start of a new academic year—a time to let go of the old and embrace fresh challenges and opportunities.
In nature, we see this principle at work as fallen leaves decompose, enriching the soil and fostering future growth and renewal. This cycle resonates deeply with many, serving as a poignant reminder of life's impermanence and the beauty inherent in change and release.
As we enter this season, Desta Therapy's counselors can support you as you embrace the lessons of autumn: the value of reflection, the importance of letting go, and the promise of renewal that follows.
