Fantastic Fall: Harvesting A Healthy Autumn!

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

Fantastic Fall: Harvesting A Healthy Autumn!

 

As Fall is escorted in today, I will be taking the following week

to discuss many healing alternatives for the Autumn season.

 

The Autumnal Equinox occurs when the sun appears to move across the

equator from the Northern Celestial Hemisphere to the Southern

Celestial Hemisphere. The other point where the sun crosses the

Celestial Equator is the Vernal Equinox during Spring. As the sun is

on the Celestial Equator at the Autumnal Equinox, it has a

declination of 0°. The right ascension at the Vernal Equinox is 0 h.

Since the Autumnal Equinox is diametrically opposite to the Vernal

Equinox on the Celestial Sphere, the Autumnal Equinox lies at 12 h of

right ascension. You should then remember the equatorial coordinates

of the Autumnal Equinox as 0°, 12 h.

 

As an expression in nature, this is the time when crops are

harvested. Leaves are changing to brilliant colors as they float

gently to the ground. Gathering and elimination are the traits of

this season and can be seen in nature as well as human health.

 

Fall is good time to take a good look at our health and our

lifestyle. Start by looking at the life around you. Are you living in

chaos? Is your home in a shambles? Is there clutter everywhere? You

may want to consider starting with a good gathering and elimination

session. Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement, can help you to

find order in your life.

 

The temple, our physical bodies, are the only thing we have to carry

the soul. When our physical bodies are not in proper working order,

everything around us ultimately suffers. Our good health is all we

have that stands between us and the aging process. The longer you

keep your physical body in optimum health, the longer you have your

temple to keep your soul on this plane. Detoxification is the best

way to keep the body at its most ultimate working level.

 

By enjoying a healthy, nutritional diet, getting good quality sleep

and moderate exercise this can keep our physical form at it's best,

always. Take the opportunities that are offered. Make the

opportunities that are not. Find your priorities of life and give

them merit. This is the best season to do this. This is the time when

we have the greatest energy to utilize the power we are given!

 

 

Improve Your Health Right Now

 

Would you like to improve your health? Better your life? Be who you are suppose

to be? We sometimes stray from these very simple facts that can make our lives

the most fulfilled. Consider these ideas:

 

1. Visit your Alternative healthcare practitioner at least once a month.

 

Alternative medicine is one of the most comprehensive medical systems in the

world today. This medicine looks at the entire individual on a functional

systemic basis that integrates all components of our mental, visceral and

emotional bodies. See your local practitioner for preventative and maintaining

good health as well.

 

2. Eat Nutritionally Sound Food.

 

A balanced diet with the appropriate amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fats and

water is essential for sustaining a well fueled body which will allow you to do

everything in your life to it's greatest potential.

 

 

3. Exercise and Move Your Body.

 

Movement has been shown to ease depression, increase flexibility, keep muscles

toned and help us to gain better balance. Movement also increases endorphins.

The " happy " chemical in our brain that allows us to think clearer, function

optimally and feel great!

 

4. Get " good " sleep.

 

Everybody is different with the amount of sleep they need. The one thing that is

most important is not necessarily the quantity of sleep but the quality we get.

A sound night's sleep allows our entire body to regenerate, replenish and

rebound back into a day that is full of life and energy.

 

5. Welcome the Power of Nature.

 

" Going back to our roots " can also mean becoming in touch again with nature. The

power of the sea, sun, trees and plants have an energy they are willing to share

with us. All we have to do is pay attention!

 

6. Learn to Love!

 

Take the time to pay attention, appreciate and love the one you're with. Be them

friends, family or your partner, learn to love unconditionally and without

expectation.

 

7. Strengthen your Support.

 

Your family and your friends are the ones who are there for you when you need

them the most. Take the time to listen to them, share stories, show appreciation

for what they do for you and what they do for people around them. Tell them. Let

them know you. Learn to love them for who they are, not what you want them to

be.

 

8. Stay Spiritual.

 

Giving thanks to the Universe/Ultimate Power/Godhead is powerful. Religion is a

bridge to spirituality. You don't have to go to a church or synagogue in order

to be spiritual. Spirit is everywhere. Spirit is energy and it is in all things.

The best part is being aware of it.

 

9. Keep Growing and Laughing

 

Keeping the brain stimulated is one of the best ways we can fight off the signs

of aging. Stay curious, creative and learn something new about the world. It is

essential to keep maintaining a playful spirit and to keep the mind sharp! Find

laughter throughout the day. See things on the lighter side of life. I promise,

it will bring great joy.

 

10. Honor Who You Are.

 

You are the most powerful, successful and happiest. You deserve all that you

desire and should honor all that you are. Find the complete and satisfied soul

inside yourself. You are without a doubt, an amazing person. Take time to honor

that.

 

 

 

Happy Fall!
