"We are in a vulnerable period now as we sink more deeply into Autumn. Ayurveda teaches that times of transition between the seasons are lively and more chaotic as the elements shift and move us forward into a new experience unfolding. These periods of transition and Autumn season as well, are to be traversed with special care in order to safeguard our health and overall stability. Time to slow down, eat cleanly and simply, and take an inventory of your life. What is necessary and most important for you to give your attention to right now? What can fall away as you gather your energy inward, moving closer to the earthy, grounded, and enriching aspects of your being."

~Excerpts from Cary Twomey's upcoming book, "Mandala Of The Seasons, Feminine Wisdom For Returning To Wholeness."
