Want to use fall colors to help you feel more centered, happy, and mindful this autumn?
This post is designed to help you understand ways to surround yourself with autumn colors that resonate with you.
I use many of these color ideas to breathe in the beauty of this season.
Colors work at the sensory level and transcend thinking.
Glance at colors that appeal to you, and you'll feel immediate satisfaction.
They may also help you be more fully present from moment to moment, as you engage in daily life.

An effective way to start including fall colors in your lifestyle is to wear them, while you engage in hobbies, sports, and leisure time activities you enjoy.
Envision fire maple, rust,
marigold yellow, burnt orange, sage green, and autumn leaf brown in your mind's
eye. What sensations, ideas, or feelings arise when you use your imagination this
way?
The colors you choose for your home, the ones you pick for your wardrobe, and
those in your work and play environment, have power to bypass reason and
influence your emotions at the cellular level.
Display mums in a large flower pot. Place this colorful autumn hued plant at your front
door or in your front yard to welcome guests.
Paint an accent wall or accent piece in your home or office a beautiful fall
color. Rust or burnt orange, sage green, grounding brown, amber, garnet,
golden yellow, brilliant scarlet, or maroon are top fall favorites.

Pick pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
Get outdoors to hike or mountain climb.
Crunch through fall leaves, hug a tree, collect chestnuts, or gather pine cones.
Paint, draw, finger paint, or use chalk to make autumn leaf or
autumn tree pictures.
Frolic and tumble in a pile of autumn
leaves, with or without your children and pets.
Visit a nature preserve, go birdwatching, and admire the aliveness of all living creatures.
Reserve time to witness an autumn sunrise or sunset. See with wonder and each day becomes a new fresh experience.
Visit an arboretum, plant nursery, or public garden and let the energy from vegetation and crisp fall air refresh you.
Snap fall photos.
Gather a bushel of farm fresh apples and munch on a juicy one.
Cozy up by the fireplace, with a good mystery, romance, or other fun reading.
Slip into your favorite flannel shirt, sweatshirt and jeans, or wear pajamas all day.
Plant hyacinth and daffodil bulbs.
Take family or friends on a hayride.
Dean's soothing voice helps me slow down, nurture my spirit, and
connect to places in my body and mind that need care.
Give the audio mentioned above a try, and please let me know ways listening to it helps you.
Fall is a reflective period, a time to celebrate the harvest, show
gratitude, and recognize endings.
If emotions including grief and loss surface, do your best to identify and name them.
Then, imagine feelings flowing through you and going into
the ground, as autumn leaves do in the fall.
In this season, you can learn to release "dying relationships, situations,
or painful life experiences," to have closure and make room for something
new.
Remember not everyone deals with emotions in the same way or is
attracted to the same colors.
Take time for self-care this fall. There are many color visualizations online that can bring you relief from stress, and provide healing, peace, and joy.
Awaken your senses by observing yourself right now. Look inward as well as
outward to feel and appreciate the wonder of fall colors and the blessings in
your life.
