LIVING the Goddess Lifestyle AUTUMN SELF-CARE PRACTICES: Goddess The Lifestyle Way! A BY LISA MARIE ROSATI utumn is a time when nature beckons you to of let go of what no longer serves. Trees allow their leaves drop away exposing their naked branches and perennial plants begin to die down, placing their complete focus on pulling nutrients from above ground into their roots for their winter slumber. Metaphorically speaking, this is our magical work too… it’s the time of year to pull off any unnecessary armor you’ve accumulated and begin to place your focus inward. I believe that the only way home to who you really are is to go inward, and this is the perfect time of year to begin that journey. I use self-care practices to assist me – I find they help me focus on me, ground me and keep me in touch with the magic that’s all around. 32 www.AspireMAG.net | October / November 2016
