Embracing the Shadow: A Fall Contemplative Practice
Fall is a season of transition—trees shed their leaves, daylight wanes, and we naturally turn inward. In Ayurveda, this is Vata season, a time when dryness, instability, and anxiety can surface. Spiritually, autumn mirrors the work of shadow integration: acknowledging the unseen, the hidden, and the unexpressed within ourselves.
Shadow work can feel intimidating, but it is one of the most powerful practices for healing and renewal. Just as the earth pulls energy inward to prepare for winter, we too can honor this rhythm by facing our inner shadows with compassion.

As we stand on the threshold of fall’s arrival, we are reminded of the cyclical nature of life and the power of transformation. The crisp air, shifting colors, and falling leaves whisper of endings that make way for new beginnings. In the Tarot, this seasonal rhythm is beautifully mirrored in the Ace of Wands—a card that embodies inspiration, creativity, and the spark of something new.
