Episode 61 -Preparing Your Nervous System for Seasonal Shifts

Written By Kristen Timchak

It is defintely still summer.  But I am beginning to notice the subtle shifts that beckon fall.   From an Ayurvedic perspective this is the perfect time to take stock and prepare for Vata Season.

In this episode of the 'The Nourished Nervous System' podcast, I discuss the transition from Pitta season (summer) to Vata season (fall and early winter) in Ayurveda. 

The episode highlights the qualities and effects of Pitta and Vata doshas and the importance of balancing them to maintain health and vitality. 

I reflect on personal habits and encourage listeners to take stock of their routines, addressing gaps and celebrating strengths. 

Practical tips for grounding and preparing for the seasonal shift are shared, emphasizing self-compassion and community connection.

In this Episode:

  • Understanding Vata Season

  • Balancing Pitta and Vata

  • Summer Activities and Their Impact

  • Recognizing and Addressing Imbalances

  • Personal Reflections and Adjustments

  • Strategies for Grounding and Self-Care

  • Community and Relationship in Self-Care
