Finding Balance During the Fall Equinox: A Crystal Bowl Sound Healing and Reiki Experience in New England

Hello, and welcome to BODHI Healing’s Fall Equinox Sound Bowl Healing! As we prepare for the shifting season, we want to share a moment of reflection with our beautiful New England community. If you’re here, you’re seeking more balance, peace, and connection—whether through Reiki, sound healing, or simply tuning into the rhythm of the season. Thank you for joining us, and remember, if you have any questions about BODHI Healing, feel free to reach out!

Honoring the Fall Equinox

The Fall Equinox arrives this year on Sunday, September 22nd, marking the moment when day and night are perfectly balanced. It’s a time to reflect on what we’ve harvested—both literally and spiritually—through the warmth of summer, and to embrace the quiet, inward journey that autumn invites.

Here in New England, the transition is palpable. As the vibrant greens of summer fade into the rich reds, oranges, and yellows of autumn, many of us feel that shift in energy. Personally, I always find that as soon as the summer ends, there’s a feeling of “hitting a brick wall.” This transition can be jarring, especially for those of us who’ve spent the summer in a carefree state—spending time with family, letting go of schedules, and enjoying the spontaneous flow of long, sunny days.

But as the soccer practices and school routines start back up, it’s easy to lose our sense of balance. That’s where the Fall Equinox, coupled with the healing power of crystal bowls, guided meditation, and Reiki, becomes a powerful reminder: it’s time to center ourselves.

The Spiritual Energy of the Equinox

The Equinox occurs when the Sun enters Libra, the sign of the scales, which symbolizes balance and harmony. Whether you’re a Libra or not, we all feel this cosmic call to assess the balance in our lives. At BODHI Healing, we like to think of this moment as an invitation from the universe: how can we balance our inner worlds with the demands of the outer world?

Here in New England, we feel that pressure to maintain harmony—especially as our schedules ramp up in the fall. For many, this season brings a mix of excitement and stress, and we often put others' needs ahead of our own. Libra energy can pull us into a cycle of people-pleasing, but this Fall Equinox is a chance to pause and reflect on our own needs, too. How can we nurture ourselves while still showing up for the people we love?

Embracing the Healing Power of Sound and Reiki

At BODHI Healing, we use a combination of crystal singing bowls, Reiki, and guided meditation to help you find that balance. Crystal bowls, with their pure tones, are attuned to the body’s energy centers, or chakras, and can help clear stagnant energy while promoting deep relaxation.

When combined with Reiki—a powerful form of energy healing—the sound vibrations work to restore harmony within, making it easier to release stress and old patterns that no longer serve you. As you experience the sound healing, your nervous system enters a state of deep rest, allowing your body to restore its natural rhythms.

For many of us here in New England, this practice of finding balance between our inner and outer worlds can feel especially important as we prepare for the colder, quieter months ahead. The Fall Equinox is a time to celebrate the light within and around us, and to set intentions for how we want to navigate the winter months.

A Moment of Reflection

Let’s take a moment to connect with our breath—the simplest yet most profound tool we have for coming back to ourselves. Our breath is our life force, the first gift we receive from the universe upon entering this world, and the last gift we offer back. As you inhale, feel the crisp autumn air filling your lungs, grounding you in this present moment. Feel the support of the Earth beneath you, knowing that even in times of transition, you are always held.

Now, gently bring your awareness to the places in your life where you may feel out of balance. Perhaps you’ve been giving too much of yourself to others, sacrificing your inner peace for the sake of outer harmony. Ask yourself: where can I reclaim my energy? Where can I show up for myself and others from a place of balance, rather than burnout? Take some time throughout your day, and the next few days to reflect and journal.
