These are the words I’m hearing from practically everyone I speak to or am in contact with at the moment . One person has had a “crazy week” and worked until 2am one morning. Another person is so busy with the “back to school ” period and family stuff that she won’t have time to attend my upcoming seasonal workshop. One of my subscribers told me that she moved recently and is very busy with all of that, and another is so busy that she “cannot take the time to look after [her] own health at present”.
What’s happening? Is it just that this time of the year is one when there’s just a lot to do?
According to Ayurveda, this period we are moving into – Autumn – is associated with the Vata force - which governs the principle of movement. It’s the force which directs nerve impulses among other things. Do you have lots of ideas, are you in a hurry to start or finish things, are you feeling anxious about all you have to do?
I know where you’re coming from because I’m there too. But I know it’s really important to pace myself to make sure I start autumn with the energy to get through the winter, when everything slows down. Around this time I’m even more careful about what I eat and drink and how I treat my body.
What are you doing to get through this “crazy” period?
