Meditation and Contemplation for Fall: Cultivating Stillness in Vata Season
As autumn unfolds with its crisp air and golden leaves, the energy of Vata dosha becomes dominant. Vata is light, airy, and mobile—qualities that can inspire creativity and movement, but when imbalanced, they may lead to restlessness, anxiety, or difficulty focusing. This makes fall the perfect season to anchor your daily routine with meditation and contemplative practices.
Autumn Foods: Nourishing Balance in Vata Season
As the air turns crisp and the leaves surrender their vibrant colors to the earth, our bodies, too, feel the shift of autumn. In Ayurveda, fall is governed by Vata dosha, marked by qualities of dryness, lightness, coldness, and movement. To stay grounded and resilient in this season of transition, we must look to foods that bring warmth, moisture, stability, and nourishment.
This is the wisdom of autumn eating: aligning with the season so your body feels supported, not depleted.
