Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and tranquility in your life

through anxiety release exercises and supportive tools created to slay your

anxiety. Autumn being a season of transition can herald signs of imbalance like

nervousness, insomnia, constipation, erratic digestion, and suddenly dry or cracked

skin to anyone sensitive to change.

As the autumn season is dry and light by nature, it's provoking to vata.

So it's valuable for anyone suffering from stress or anxiety to know that this is the season that can be most challenging.

Aravader's richly supportive science offers some beautifully simple ways to protect yourself,

calm your mind and nourish your nervous system.

In this podcast I'd like to share a few that you can add to your day to help you transition smoothly through

the autumn months.

Give yourself time to wake up before the world starts rushing around. Vutter types are sensitive to change.

If they can rise before the busyness starts

and take some quiet time to breathe and sip a warm drink,

they'll feel more settled throughout the day ahead.

Routine is important to Vutter as it has a stabilising effect.

Try and start your day at the same time and with the same brief self-care routine as often as you can.

The key words for balancing Vata are warm, wet and oily.

Remembering this will help you adopt a supportive diet and lifestyle throughout the autumn months.

Warm showers or baths, after a gentle oil massage with some sesame oil,

help to protect your skin and joints from the dryness that is typical of autumn.

And also nourish and protect your nervous system.
