As we transition into Fall, the days become shorter, the nights longer, the temperatures shift, and the winds start to pick up strength. The trees and shrubs shed their leaves in preparation for the winter, and their colors change from green to more vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows.
When our body’s internal system matches the vast ecosystem of nature, we are healthy.
We are all interconnected with nature and the environment in which we live. When the seasons change, we are affected both physically and mentally.
Just like the weather and the seasons, your body is constantly trying to adapt and change along with the environment. This includes both the outer environment and the internal environment, your thoughts, emotions, and nutrition.
We can learn ways to assist our bodies in healthy transitions.
For some, the Fall season is about pumpkin patches, hot apple cider, Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities.
For others, it could mean
- Headaches
- The flu
- Colds
- Joint pain,
- Anxiety
- Physiological and psychological symptoms include but are not limited to dry skin, dehydration, constipation, bloating, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular digestion, and appetite, migraines, weakened immunity, increased appetite, food cravings, poor circulation, cold hands and feet, sciatica, nerve pain, fatigue, nervousness, worry, feeling ungrounded, spacey, unsettled, restless and jumpy, as well as having an overactive mind, overthinking, and a change in mood and feelings.
Take a closer look at the symptoms above.
These are imbalances that correspond to the elements of ether and air, which are the most prominent in the Fall Season. When your natural composition has more ether and air, you are more susceptible to these symptoms, with the Fall season adding more of said elements.
To maintain overall health and vitality during this time, you want to balance these elements with the opposite elements of water and earth, which are hydrating and grounding.
The Seasons and Nature can teach you so much about your health and help you align with the Life you Love.
