Welcome, Fall! This Saturday (9/23), the Northern

Welcome, Fall! This Saturday (9/23), the Northern Hemisphere will experience the Fall Equinox--equal amounts of day and night, light and dark. Over the years, I've honored this earth-centric holiday a number of ways, which I'm happy to share with you for inspiration.
.
These 3 rituals can help us practice balance—note I did not say "arrive at a state of balance." The equinox shows that the moment of perfect "balance" is fleeting, mere seconds, meaning that life is actually made up of all the moments we move toward and away balance.
.
How is that showing up for you recently? Are you holding back because things aren't perfect yet, or putting all your energy toward a goal that will offer temporary happiness? Use this equinox to untangle yourself from the myth of balance, and strengthen your spirit's ability to ride the waves.
.
1. Ceremonial cacao—This deeply nourishing plant supports balance in the mind and gut. Prepare your favorite cacao drink from Root & Nourish, or simply heat 1 tablespoon cacao, ½ teaspoon cardamom, ½ teaspoon ashwagandha, and ½ teaspoon reishi powder in 1-2 cups milk for around 8 minutes. Before you take a sip, hold the mug in your hands, close your eyes, and deeply inhale the aromas. Let them waft all the way down through your legs and feet, and feel the energy draining back into the earth, where it will be stored and harnessed during the season ahead.
.
2. Nadi shodhana pranayama—This version of alternate nostril breathing uses visualization instead of the traditional hand mudra. Try it this week as part of your morning meditation, or during savasana.
.
3. Recycling love—Take this moment to honor whomever and whatever is no longer in your life the way you once knew them to be. In the spirit of nature’s ability to release and renew all matter, whether it’s our exhalations feeding the plants or the ocean’s exhalations feeding the atmosphere, find some material item from the being you knew before and repurpose it. Giving it new life will help their energy continue to live on in your present—and future.

'Tis the season for kitchari! This ultra-healing Ayurvedic meal is a staple in many seasonal resets (including mine, starting October 12). But kitchari by another name is rice and beans—and international staple. In my latest blog post for Banyan Botanicals, I developed vata-, pitta-, and kapha-friendly rice and beans recipes to eat anytime—or when you just can't take another day of kitchari.
