Autumn’s Harvest – how to nourish the landscape of your life, and reap the rewards of your own loving work

What does Autumn signify? A time of shedding and lightening – a time when we can leave behind the burdens of things that are no longer helpful, and when we can get a true, honest insight into who we are, beneath it all. In this episode, Ayurvedic consultant and wellbeing author, Eminé Rushton, guides us through Autumn’s unique energy, with holistic advice to guide us on our way. Filled with soulful reflections on the significance of this time of year – to help you with your own reflections and inner questions – and practical advice to bolster our health, immunity and spirtual wellbeing, this is a lyrical guide to the season ahead. 

 

Eminé shares a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, called Autumn Days, at the end of this episode:

After the summer's yield, Lord, it is time

to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials

and in the pastures let the rough winds fly.

 

As for the final fruits, coax them to roundness.

Direct on them two days of warmer light

to hale them golden toward their term, and harry

the last few drops of sweetness through the wine.

 

Whoever's homeless now, will build no shelter;

who lives alone will live indefinitely so,

waking up to read a little, draft long letters,   

and, along the city's avenues,

fitfully wander, when the wild leaves loosen.
