Feeling Vata vitiated.

Woke at 3am to wind gusts 🌬️. Drifted in and out of sleep until my alarm abruptly interrupted my dream of eating pastries and sipping coffee at a French cafe.

The energic qualities of wind are the same as Vata dosha and include being dry, light, mobile and cold.

Introducing opposite energetics (warm, moist, heavy, stable/grounding) will balance a vitiated Vata dosha

Morning routine today:

Sip warm water

Restorative yoga

Tulsi tea + French apple tart

i am working on a vata imbalance. on the moisture side, i have introduced abhyanga and on the stillness side, candle gazing. ❤️🙏

Nice. 🙌

In Ayurveda the opposite of dry is oily. Abhyanga is great for balancing out the dryness of Vata. And bonus points because oil is heavy and grounding. I do self-abhyanga a few times a week.

I'll try some candle gazing this evening...thanks for the reminder.

So many great self care options in Ayurveda 🙏

it's amazing! i finally went to a professional and the reading was magic, i feel so seen and so at ease realizing the oddity and perfection of my vata kapha combination
