| While the sun is getting weaker, we are invited to slow down and move to a more simple, rejuvenating lifestyle routine. Autumn is Vata time (air element), making us feel dry in the body and scattered in the mind. So, it’s wise to use these few weeks of transit to establish sustainable, simple practices that will support us physically and mentally. Here are eight tips to adjust your lifestyle for the autumn months: 1. Ground. Ayurveda recognises autumn as an air-dominated time, so grounding can help you digest better the food and life itself. Eat warm food with lots of root vegetables, add spices, and cook with good-quality oils like sesame, olive, and ghee. Drink warm water throughout the day. Please take a look at the recipe page on my website. There are lots of delicious meals. Kitchari and golden millet soup are wonderful for strengthening the fire of digestion. 2. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Simplifying your life is the mantra of Resayana, the ancient rejuvenation protocol. If you want to help the body move from survival to thriving and regenerative mode- simplify! Before you take on any project or commit to anything, ask yourself: Will it simplify or complicate my life? Simple. 3. Earthing. Walk barefoot in the morning, which connects you to the earth’s frequency (the great Tesla said if you want to understand the universe, think frequencies). It’s also one of the best ways to lower inflammation, boost immunity, and improve cognitive health. 4. Declutter in body. Autumn is the best time for a good cleanse. You can follow a protocol you resonate with or join us for the 5-day live online Autumn Cleanse Retreat, October 3rd- 7th. I’ve included the details below. You can also work with me one-on-one to support you on the mental or physical detox process if you wish. 5. Declutter in mind. Like the trees that begin to close down their food production and the leaves that are starting to fall, we can use this time to declutter the house and our bodies so we can enter the winter months with a strong immune system and have the mental space to reflect on what you’ve achieved and what didn’t work for us this year. 6. Adjust sleeping and rising patterns- It’s not yet hibernation time, but ideally, you want to ease into changes; rest more, start to dim the light a bit earlier in the evenings to regulate the serotonin melatonin release, hence better mode. |
