Journaling Prompts for the Autumn Equinox

Denise ElysaAutumn Equinox, Seasonal & Energetic Updates Leave a Comment

Have you connected with the Autumn Equinox energy yet?

Are you stuck in a perpetual state of inner Spring + Summer? Constantly in production mode and never taking a season to rest, release, rejuvenate?

How can we fully give ourselves to the cycles of production with the vitality that is required for an abundant harvest, if we never embrace our seasons to rest and recover? If we never let go, how do we make space for the new to sprout and grow? If we never tune inward, how many old seeds have we planted that we haven’t even noticed have come to harvest?

There is so much that we miss when we remain in continuous inner Spring and Summer, and yet, the world is constantly asking us to.

If you joined me for The Seasonal Pause: Autumn Equinox last night then I trust that you’re already feeling deeply attuned and aligned with the potency of the energy available to us at this time. However, if you didn’t, you may feel held by your own processes, and perhaps these journaling prompts may support you in that. (If you’d like to connect with this energy in a deeper way through guided meditation, intuitive guidance, oracle card reading and more in addition to these journaling prompts, check out the recording of our live Autumn Equinox event here. If you’d like to join us in the future, the Winter Solstice event is already available for Early Bird discounted registration here.)

Take a moment to get comfortable, make sure you have what you need to feel at ease (blankets, bolsters/pillows, a cup of tea?), and set yourself up in a space where you can truly tune into your self and won’t be disturbed. Ground yourself in the ways that align for you, and invite your Higher Self in to guide and speak to you through this journaling exercise. So much love to you as you move through this period, and I hope the following prompts will feel supportive, and exactly what you need. As always, take what resonates with you and leave the rest behind.


What did your life look and feel like 6 months ago, 12 months ago, or over the past 9 years?

How do you want to feel in your life moving forward?

Do you notice your own cyclical nature? How do you feel towards it?

Do you feel pressured to stay in perpetual Spring/Summer? What is this serving?

How would it FEEL to allow yourself to soften into Autumn? What comes up for you around this?

What does your Higher Self want you to know as we head into the season of letting go, harvesting and preparing for winter?

What seeds were previously planted that are now asking for your attention or coming to the time of harvest and abundance?

What is it time to let go of that is no longer serving you?

What seeds are being planted in your life and way of being now?


Stay tuned through my mailing list or the Group Offering’s page on my website, for future sessions of The Seasonal Pause – next up, Winter Solstice.
