Welcome to Autumn! 🍁🍂

Autumn is my favourite season!

The days are starting to get shorter and cooler. Autumn is the beginning of the yin cycle when the daylight lasts less than twelve hours. It's a time of harvest when we gather the colourful fruits and vegetables for winter storage. We also store wood for the fire and get out our warm clothes for the colder, darker days of winter.

According to oriental medicine, the season of Autumn is associated with the element of Metal, which governs organisation, order, communication, the mind, setting limits, and protecting boundaries. It's a good time to finish projects that you began in spring and summer – harvesting the bounty of your hard work. Of course, it's also the perfect time to begin more introspective, indoor projects.

Enjoy all the colour and wonder that Autumn has to offer! 🧡
