What does autumn symbolize?
The will soon arrive Autumn Equinox, marking the midst between the longest night of the year, and the shortest. Autumn equinox marks the harmony of these two, where light and dark equals the same. This is the momentum of evaluating balance in your life. Releasing and letting go of what no longer serves you. Making room for new energy to take with you as we are moving into the darker parts of the year.
Autumn is the time to evaluate all of your harvest from this year, it is a time to pause and reflect on where you are right now. What has this year brought so far, and where can you seek more balance in your life? Just as the trees are shedding their heavy leaves to prepare for winter, we as humans also naturally crave to let go of what no longer serves us.
What in your life feels good and balanced? What patterns do you need to let go of, to be where you want to be?
Aligning with the Autumn
My favorite way to reconnect with my inner cycles and changes, is to watch the color palette and landscapes shift as we're moving out of one season, and into the next. There is so much power in aligning with nature at this time of year, flowing with the changes both physically and energetically. Everything from noticing how the woods are changing their tones, to how the warm autumn sun is setting slightly earlier each day. Letting these moments of true nature guide us; and reflect on how the outer energies intertwine with our bodies. By using the cycles of nature as our guide, we are constantly reminded to align our energies with the environment around us, and notice how this affects our needs and inner landscapes.
So how do we align with all this radiant, sacred energy?
I invite you to slow down, notice how you are, and engage with the season that is upon us. Here are some of my favorite ways on how to practically align with the autumn, energy:
Morning ritual - with The Alchemist Set
One of my favorite ways to support my energy throughout the day is by using The Alchemist Set, which contains all seven of the bioenergetic essences — like having a toolbox of support, ready for whatever I may need.
No matter how full my schedule is, I always do my best to begin my day from a calm, centered space. I give myself those few sacred moments to tune inward — to meet myself before I meet the rest of the world. The Alchemist Set has become a cherished part of this morning ritual. Whether I'm starting with a few deep breaths, journaling, or simply applying it after my shower, this simple practice helps me ground into my body and feel into what I need that day. I’ll intuitively choose a blend of essences depending on where I feel stagnant, tender, or in need of clearing.
It’s a quiet, sacred moment that only takes a minute — but it completely shifts the energy of my day. It helps me step into the world from a place of presence and emotional awareness, which naturally brings more harmony to everything I do. Sometimes I’ll even pull one of the beautifully crafted essence cards — each one corresponding to a fragrance in the set — as a gentle guide for the day. These cards are exclusively available with The Alchemist Set, which is why now is the perfect time to welcome it into your practice — as we`re changing the beautiful form of our beloved Alchemist Set.
The Essences within The Alchemist Set will return soon, reimagined in a new form — but each essence will be individually packaged. So for those who’ve loved the set as it is, and for those who’ve felt the quiet call to welcome it into their lives — this is your moment. A final chance to experience it in its original, full expression.
Together, they form a complete system: 7 keys that help us shift stagnation, raise our vibration, and navigate the more hidden, emotional layers of our being.
The oils are also perfect for a quick energetic reset, or for turning an ordinary bath into a nourishing ritual — infusing the water with the healing frequencies of the essences. I love using them in my diffuser too, letting their vibrations fill my home and shift the atmosphere with intention.
Lately, I’ve been especially drawn to Mysterium Coniunctio. It feels incredibly aligned with the energies of the equinox — that sacred invitation to return to balance. This essence supports deep connection to the heart’s true desires, with a warm, comforting presence that gently opens me to softness and self-love. It feels like being wrapped in the wisdom of autumn.
MYSTERIUM CONIUNCTIO: A heart-opener that invites softness, self-love, and emotional healing. Reveals the hidden mysteries of the heart. A merging of opposites. Brings balance and harmony.
I also love combining it with Tabula Smaragdina. Every scent of the perfumes and perfume oils are made with the possibility to combine them. Giving us the advantage to work with different energies and chakras at the same time. Tabula Smaragdina is connected to the throat chakra — our center of truth, clarity, and expression. Together, these two fragrances feel beautifully balanced & harmonious. They hold me in a space where I can speak my truth while staying deeply connected to my heart. It’s a combination I return to again and again for that sense of anchored support.
Forest bathing
My next favorite ritual is spending time in nature. This is an amazing way to align with the seasons. Noticing the colors, what phase the plants are in, and how the air feels. Forest bathing offers several benefits, some of them being; regulating the nervous system, boosting the immune system and enhancing focus and clarity.
Eating with the season
Autumn is the time for harvest, and one of my favorite ways to take care of myself is by making a delicious meal with the seasonal produce. Eating seasonally gives me a deeper appreciation of the natural cycles, and reminds us of all the abundance autumn provides.
Everyday magic
Value the small moments of presence, and make time for yourself. If it's only 5 minutes in the morning as you wake up, or when you're drinking your first cup of coffee. Even if it looks like playing your favorite song as you´re driving to work. Make these moments as enjoyable as possible, treat yourself to start the day with some bliss. For me right now, this looks like having my morning coffee with coconut milk and lots of ceylon cinnamon.
Journaling; here are some prompts that can be helpful to reflect on:
What can I harvest from the year so far?
What keeps me from feeling balanced in my life?
What would I like more of in my life, and what do I want less of?
What patterns can I let go of, to make room for something more aligned with where I want to be?
These are my favorite ways of transitioning into the darker months with ease, to help me prepare for the internal work of winter. Hopefully you can take bits and pieces from this to create your own relationship with the seasons, and get to know how they interact with your needs.
Lots of love,
House of Bothania Family
