Fall Equinox Ritual Cleanse

Fall is a perfect time to cleanse, reboot and revitalize body, mind and spirit. In fact, when done at the fall equinox folklore says it will keep you from getting sick the following season. Prepare for fall by releasing the heat of the summer.

The Fall Equinox this year falls on September 22nd.  This easy -to-follow Fall Equinox Juice Fast is a full body tune-up in just 24 hours (see below.)

Equinoxes are moments in time when day and night are equal. They measure fullness and balance in nature. Honor this moment as a time to balance. We are beings conjoined with nature, not separate from it. Now is the time to acknowledge in ourselves what is plentiful and ready to harvest just like in our gardens.
