Can you feel it? The glistening summer heat is beginning to sway to the breezy winds of autumn change–whispering and tickling our internal signals…time to switch seasonal gears.
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the Fall Equinox delivers to us the brilliant opportunity to slow it all down, take pause and sync up to the dynamically shifting harvest rhythms. This is the time to move “inward”. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite…to flourish and blossom “outward” using the energy, light, and warmth of the sun.
When we tune up to nature’s outward expressions that are also happening simultaneously within our mind-body systems, it makes for a much smoother change of pace–avoiding internal setbacks, imbalances, and stagnations.
The energies associated with Vata; movement, change, and instability are currently moving into high swirl mode. If you have a predominance of Vata or are experiencing a Vata imbalance, this is the time to be attentive to the progressive external and internal shifts that are alive and happening right now. Just as the leaves are crisping up and shedding to the cooler temperatures, our internal systems are becoming thirsty for lubrication, warmth, and grounded flow.
Establishing and enforcing a nourishing daily routine not only brings more meaning to life, but is the key for ALL dosha combinations to acquiesce to the beauty of this season’s spontaneous unpredictability.

Meditate & Soothe
Don’t let the seasonal movement blow wind onto your healthy fire! Remind yourself: “less fire, more light! Create your soothing routine–mindfulness, non-competitive exercise, and avoid biting off more than you can chew. Stay cool, calm, and collective–emotionally & physically!
