A Meditation for Mabon: The Autumn Equinox

Today is Mabon; the Autumn Equinox which is the official beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and the time of the year when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in roughly equal day and night lengths. While the exact date varies slightly each year, this year’s autumn equinox occurred today, at 7:43 AM Central Time.

Mabon is a time to honor the Earth’s bounty and give thanks for the abundance of the harvest as well as reflect on the cycles of life and death, and to prepare for the darker months ahead. Today’s post includes a Mabon Meditation to lead you in reflection through this transition, along with some journal prompts to encourage introspection and assist you in self discovery.

Mabon Meditation

Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Imagine yourself standing in a field, surrounded by golden wheat and colorful leaves. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the crispness of the air. Imagine the sounds of birds in the background, faint sounds of geese as they migrate.

Focus on the abundance around you. Thank the Earth for providing for you.

Visualize yourself gathering the harvest, storing it away for the winter months. Imagine your store rooms filled to capacity and feel the security of knowing your needs will be met.

As you gather the harvest, say the following affirmation: “I release what no longer serves me and embrace the abundance of the harvest.”

Feel a sense of peace and balance as you connect with the natural world.

When you’re ready, open your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Journal Prompts

After your meditation, take some time to reflect on your experience by journaling. Here are a few prompts to get you started:

• What did you notice about your thoughts and feelings during the meditation?
• What did you release during the meditation?
• What did you feel grateful for during the meditation?
• What are you looking forward to this fall?
• What are your intentions for the upcoming season?

Happy Mabon! ❤
