Crystals Habits, and Rituals to help with Transitioning to Fall

As we creep closer and closer to Fall with the beginning of the school year, the start of new quarters at work, and of course the actual physical seasonal changes can create stress in our minds and bodies. While for some the feeling of Fall is exciting and rejuvenating, it is often a source of stress for others, including spikes of anxiety and the beginning of SAD. People mourn the change in the weather, regret what they weren’t able to accomplish during the summer, and struggle as the days begin to shorten leading up to the Winter Solstice. So let’s talk about transitions and how you can support yourself as we go through them!

Fall is the season of transitions and endings. While that sounds heavy or dark, it is actually one of the most necessary times of the year. It allows an easy bridge between Summer and all of our activity and the season of Winter which has us slowing down and looking inward. It also gives us time to appreciate and reflect upon the last year to see all that we’ve accomplished. Fall brings so many fresh starts as well! New school year, new possibilities at work, a fresh harvest of new types of vegetables to harvest, various delightful flavors of coffee drinks, beautiful drives filled with colorful leaves, and a fresh kind of magic in the air. So how can we flow with these transitions? Let’s talk crystals, habits, and more!

Crystals

Aventurine is the stone of new adventures and possibilities. If you are struggling with feeling like you need a fresh start, or maybe you’re current;y in the middle of one you didn’t ask for. Aventurine will help you let go of the past and embrace the future as something new and unwritten. It is also an incredible stone for helping with creating abundance in your life. It helps to open up new doors and opportunities regarding finances like a new job, discovering new clients, or even opening you up to making new connections.

Pink Scolecite acts almost like a Seasonal Cleaning for your energy field. It clears out old energy and absorbs deeper beliefs to allow yourself freedom from your past. By clearing out these old thought patterns, you will be able to see what is no longer meant for you, so you may release it and bring in what is meant for you.

Lemon Calcite helps to clear any negative thought patterns about your self worth or self confidence. This stone is perfect if you want to enter this season with a fresh attitude and open mind about what you can do and create in this new season. Calcites are also gentle healers, so it would be an incredible stone for helping you release stuck emotions before Fall begins.

Labradorite is an incredible stone for helping you with transformation and transitions. It allows you to stay grounded as you go through big changes in your external life. If you are feeling a little like you don’t know where things are going and you need a little guidance, this is the stone for you!

Habits

Have your habits felt harder during the last couple weeks? Maybe it’s the sadness that you can’t continue your summer schedule or your body naturally changing when it wants to wake up or even how much sleep you need. Take a week and pay attention to whatever natural inclinations you feel, and make note of them. Wanting to go to bed earlier? Sleep in more? Feel more drawn to exercising outside versus in the gym? Take these cues from your body and try out something new. These habits don’t have to last forever, they don’t even need to last the season, but adjusting to what your body is feeling naturally drawn to do is an excellent way of living in the flow.

Rituals

When it comes to helping with transitions, giving yourself different tools and practices to use at the beginning of the day to help set you up for success is incredibly helpful. When I’m feeling like I need a little extra grounding during transformations, I love to start the day by clearing my energy with an energy clearing spray, before adding in some protection. For me, this comes in many different forms like crystal jewelry, our Rooted Ritual Oil on my Third Eye, or imagining an energetic bubble on days where I’m really struggling. If you feel like you’re stuck and could use a little more flow, our ritual oil Calliope would be great especially paired with a flowy crystal like Aquamarine or Moonstone to help you let go of control and know the Universe will help you to the exact place you are meant to be.
