5-element altar practice for the fall equinox

Create a seasonal altar that helps you connect with the elements as they change around and within you. Allow this altar to be a sacred space to activate and hold your intention for the coming weeks of fall. Take a little time every day to sit and remember your intention and to offer prayers of thanks and healing for the world.

Place earth elements such as rocks, gemstones, and dirt in the North.
Place the water element in the West.
Place the fire element in the South.
Place air elements, such as incense, sage, feathers, and leaves in the East.
Ring a bell or clap for the element of space, and place any special objects (your intention written out, meaningful jewelry, a picture of the Divine…) in the center.

This video ends with the Purnamadah mantra, which is the invocation to the Isha Upanishad and is a celebration of spiritual abundance. In english it translates as: All this is full. All that is full. From fullness, fullness comes. When fullness is taken from fullness, fullness still remains. OM peace, peace, peace.
