As a result, we are exposed to less sunlight and Vitamin D deficiencies lead to anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n<p>Nature reflects beautiful examples of change; the leaves on a tree changing to golden hues, only to finally dry up and fall toward the earth, carried away by the crisp, cool wind.<\/p>\n<p>As we are a part of nature, we feel both the excitement and the challenges of change as well as uncertainty in times of rapidly shifting energies. Fall\u2019s clearing away makes room for new beginnings, but let\u2019s face it, this can also feel quite unsettling. For some of us, this can result in an anxious and overactive mind, chilly body, and an overall spacey, ungrounded feeling.<\/p>\n<p>You might experience further symptoms, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low mood and depression<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety and excessive worry<\/li>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<li>Lethargy, sleepiness, and fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Loss of interest in everyday activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Ayurveda, Vata is the energy that is associated with movement, space, and air, which can often become unbalanced during this time of year. These Ayurvedic qualities relating to this subtle body of energy are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cold<\/li>\n<li>Light<\/li>\n<li>Dry<\/li>\n<li>Irregular<\/li>\n<li>Rough<\/li>\n<li>Speed<\/li>\n<li>Changeable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to Ayurveda, \u201clike increases like\u201d and \u201copposites bring balance\u201d, meaning that we can use the opposing qualities to counterbalance something that we have in excess or that we lack. To put this into a clearer context, let\u2019s use anxiety as an example&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The qualities of anxiety include light, mobile, cold, and dry, therefore to establish balance\u00a0 you should avoid foods with these qualities (e.g. caffeine, cold cereal, raw salad, green juice, cold-raw smoothies).<\/p>\n<p>And which foods should you be favoring? Those that contain the opposing qualities of heavy, grounding, warm, and moist (e.g. golden milk, soups, kitchari, stews, porridges, oatmeal).<\/p>\n<p>Another consideration is our innate body-mind awareness; it warns us the autumn and winter months are tough, which leads to your inner programming: \u201cI am going to have a tough time\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the spiritual root cause of anxiety, based on a lack of trust in life and yourself. Anxiety is a fear of the future, the upcoming colder months, as opposed to depression, which is living in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Eager to learn more about this fascinating subject?<\/p>\n<p>In my masterclass \u201cFrom S.A.D. to happy in autumn\u201d you can learn more about it.
