The autumn equinox in Ibiza

The holiday marks the end of summer in Ibiza and the beginning of preparation for the coming cooler weather. Day becomes equal to night. It's believed that this is a perfect moment to look back, analyse the past and draw conclusions.

Different people worldwide celebrate the start of autumn on this day. Traditionally, the holiday is dedicated to the harvest and the end of the fieldwork season. People used to honour older women, gather in women's circles and greet autumn with songs and dances.

How to spend the day

It's better to slow down and put off any vigorous activities during this day. Try to reach inner harmony — do what calms you down, listen to music, practice meditation and yoga. It's favourable to recall all the year's important events, evaluate them, and take a fresh and careful look at yourself and your life. Today, you'd better give up bad habits and start working on yourself.

“The day of the Autumn Equinox is filled with powerful energy. It will help you take the first step into a new reality and let go of unnecessary things,” says the Moonly app founder, Olga Ramora. “To do this, you can perform a well-known ritual — write down everything you want to get rid of on a piece of paper, then burn it and scatter the ashes in the wind. You can also use dry autumn leaves instead of paper.”

Also, you might want to thank the Universe for all the good things you have. Light a candle, look at its flame and think about all the joyful events of the year. Relive these moments by saying words of gratitude to the Universe. Then meditate to tune into the changes the future will bring you.

Rituals

Here are 3 rituals that will unlock your spiritual power and harmonise various aspects of your life:

“The Power of Water” ritual:

Visit the nearest source of water: the sea, a river or a city fountain. Bring an object with you that symbolises your desire to achieve balance — a small stone, a flower or a note. Sit by the water and close your eyes. Imagine that you are standing under a waterfall and the energy of the water is cleansing you, bringing balance and release. Leave your object behind as a symbol of gratitude for the harmony of your soul.

“The Wheel of Life” ritual:

Take several stones or crystals and visualise that each of them is responsible for a specific area of your life. Hold the stones in your hands one by one, feel their texture, weight, and temperature with your skin. Enter a meditative state and lay out a perfectly round circle of stones. In the process, visualise how all facets of your life — work, relationships, finances, leisure, health, dreams — become equally important and manifest here and now.

“The Energy Centers” ritual:

Choose a quiet place where you feel comfortable. Get into a comfortable position, close your eyes and begin the Chakra Balancing meditation. You can find it in the “Energy of the planets” block of the Healing section of the Moonly app. Follow the voice of the guide, focusing on the feelings of harmony and tranquillity that are arising right now.
