The equinox happens twice a year — when we enter spring and when we enter autumn. During this astronomical event, the sun crosses the celestial equator meaning day and night are about the same length in hours.
As seasons change, nature, animals, and the planet transform accordingly — and humans do too. Chinese medicine teaches that seasons play an integral role in our lives and overall health.
Living in harmony with natural cycles creates flow and alignment. When we attune ourselves to the universe's natural rhythms, life tends to feel more balanced and purposeful.
Spring equinox invites us to plant seeds — literally and metaphorically. To begin new projects, set fresh intentions, and emerge from the introspection of winter.
Autumn equinox asks us to harvest and release. To celebrate what we've grown and let go of what no longer serves us. To prepare for the quieter, more reflective months ahead.
We are not separate from nature. We ARE nature. When we honour these cycles within ourselves, we stop fighting the current and start flowing with it.
