How Do You Relax in the Autumn Season?

Relaxing in the autumn season can be difficult especially if you are preparing for the holidays. It can also be challenging if you are changing jobs or in the process of getting a new career. However, relaxation in the autumn season can help you focus on achieving your new career goals, certifications, or your new degree. Studying for several months can stress you out as an adult but it does make you feel motivated knowing you can improve your job skills. Even if you are not changing your career, relaxing in the autumn season can make you accept the things you cannot change and enjoy the new season.

 

Begin by meditating with autumn leaves. Hold an autumn leaf in your hand as you close your eyes. Visualize the dry leaves as you hold the leaf. Imagine each vibrant color of the leaf to be filled with positive thoughts. Open your eyes and feel the warm wind blowing your hair and blowing into your ears.

 

After that, put the dry leaves back in the soil. Next, pick up more leaves as you slowly inhale and exhale. Slowly use the leaves and mix it into compost and for protecting your plants in your garden. Another way is by visualizing the multiple colors on the leaves on your mind and closing your eyes. Visualize the colors and name each color a positive emotion.

Open your eyes. Begin walking and throwing the leaves up in the air. Look at the leaves as you throw them up in the air. You can also do this by sitting or standing up as you throw the leaves up in the air. Continue throwing the leaves as you think positive emotions.

Walk slowly and feel the warm crisp air outside. If you have fall allergies, check the pollen count before meditating outside. An alternative version of meditating during the autumn season is decorating your home with artificial decorative leaves. Make a hot tea with spices or with a tea that makes you think about the fall season. As you wait for the tea, scent your dining room with essential oils.

Use essential oils such as cedarwood, pine, vanilla, orange, cinnamon, clove, sandalwood, or nutmeg in your diffuser to get in the mood for the fall season. Make sure you are not allergic to any of the essential oil scents that you use for your diffuser. Next, decorate your dining table with artificial decorative leaves. Use a battery-operated candle or battery powered LED Fairy lights in the center of your dining table. Drink your hot tea and focus on the fairy lights or on the battery-operated candlelight.

If you are feeling comfortable meditating indoors during the autumn season, you can also dress in warm autumn colors before you meditate. Enjoy the new season by releasing physical tension by stretching, movement meditation, or yoga poses. Imagine yourself feeling calm, joyful, and filled with positivity as you get comfortable with the new season. Purchase autumn incense sticks such as vanilla, pumpkin spice, rose and cinnamon, or balsam cedar. Here are resources for more ways to meditate and to relax in the autumn season.
