As the air becomes crisp and the days grow shorter, autumn invites us to slow down, turn inward, and replenish our energies.
This season of transition is a perfect time to ground yourself and create space for reflection and renewal. This 3 part series of blog posts shares simple yet potent practices that you can use at home to embrace the essence of autumn and stay connected to your inner balance.
Self-Massage with Warming Oils
As the temperature drops, our bodies can become tense, and our skin can feel dry. Self-massage, or Abhyanga, is a beautiful way to nourish your body and mind during autumn. Using warm, grounding oils like sesame or almond oil, you can soothe your nervous system, improve circulation, and create a sense of warmth and comfort.
How to Practice:
Warm your chosen oil slightly and apply it generously to your entire body, using long, gentle strokes on the limbs and circular motions on the joints.
Take your time, focusing on areas where you feel tension or dryness.
After your massage, take a warm bath or shower, allowing the oil to deeply penetrate your skin.
