Starting September 22nd, we are entering a new phase of the year. We are shifting into the season of Fall. The term "equinox" is a combination of two Latin words meaning "equal" and "night", meaning that we will experience exactly a 12 hour day and 12 hour night to mark the shift of seasons that is occurring. The Earth's axis has tilted and we are experiencing equal amounts of lightness and darkness in the Northern Hemisphere. Here, we experience the balance that is bringing brought into our lives, stabilizing our energy and allowing us to go with the flow. On this day, we can see a visual representation of what polarity is. The lightness and the darkness, within us and around us. The yin and the yang. The masculine and the feminine. Everything is balanced. 

Also on this day will be the beginning of Libra season, which will last from September 22nd until October 23rd. Libra is a sign of balance, which is a theme to incorporate this Fall. It is a time come back down to earth, while still connecting to that version of your highest self. It is a time to sit down and become aware of the journey we are in, accept it for what it is, and what has yet to come. The Fall brings some of the favorite holidays within the year - Halloween on October 31st and Thanksgiving on November 24th. 

To gracefully enter this new season, here are four metaphysical tools that will be your best friend this Fall: 

1. Garnet: This stone is here to assist you in balance and harmony. It is associated with the root and heart chakra. It is a healing stone for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual troubles you may be facing in your life. Since Fall is a season of returning to balance, this high vibrational stone will ground you while also giving you strength. 

2. Palo Santo: By lighting a palo santo stick, it will allow you to cleanse the energy around you and open space for a fresh breath of air this fall season. It is known for ridding negative energy, clearing the mind, and raises vibrational frequencies. It is from South America and is used for healing and sacred rituals. 

3. Smoky Quartz: This is a stone of stability and grounding. It is associated with the root chakra, perfect to bring you back down to earth. It removes stagnant energy, allowing positive energy to flow in and aid in healing. It will take you on. a journey to inner strength. 

4. Welcome Home Oil: Only available at Flying With Air, we have curated an oil for the Fall season with Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Cinnamon, and Apple. All of these ingredients tie in with what Fall is all about, and it acts as a mood enhancer. It is here to remind you of what is feels like to go home for the holidays, or after a stressful day at work or school. 

We are so excited for this new season and we hope you are too! This is the time to make the most out of the next few months of the year. A reminder to be grateful for how far you have come, and what is next.
