Autumn's cathedral sunlight spectacles

Owner from Balance for Life

Hi Neighbors
Its getting colder and definitely autumn weather windy with the taste of winter in the air. A time also called "fall". Literally everything falls in this time. The leaves, the temperature, the angle of the sun. Following the joys of summer and the riches of harvest time, with autumn begins the decent, the turning inwards. As the angle of the sun drops closer to the horizon line it lights up dust particles in the air creating a sense of "cathedral" lights in the air. Something spectacular and dramatic in autumn's natural creation. I took a photo this morning at 7pm which inspired me to post this.
As some trees loose they leaves exposing bare branches and fields are bare creating a sense of space. Space to breath. We might feel the urge to let go of things, tidy up, create space and quietude. We might like to focus inwards more.
Take time to look after your self. Nourish your body well. Eat what is locally harvested at this time. Take more time to prepare and cook meals at home. Soups ...I love soups. Lentil soup, pumpkin soup, veggie soup, Tom yum soup ahhhhhh! Perfect to warm up and feel good inside. Sit at the fire (put the phones away) and talk to each other. Great time for all kinds of teas.
A hot detox bath to fend those nasty winter colds with ingredients that one can find in any kitchen:
1 cup Epsom salt
1 cup baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
(can make the water yellow or brown but it's a great detox bath to get rid of any winter illnesses)
Soak for 20 min to 30 min and take time before you get dressed in clothes as you will sweat about 30 min longer after your bath. Snuggle up in your cosy bathrobe, drink plenty of water or herbal tea.
By the way...at 'Balance for life" we have a heated massage table to keep you cosy and comfy during autumn and winter or any time you wish. :-)
