As much as I love the vibrancy of summer,I also get this sense of relief  when the days start getting shorter and darker. It has been another fun and eventful Summer but drinking a warm cup of tea under a blanket sounds appealing too doesnt it?! Autumn is a transitional period and a great opportunity to turn inward and let go of what no longer serves us.  As we transition into Autumn, the season of Vata (Air & Ether), Ayurveda can help us to bring balance and well-being into our lives. Autumn is a time of shorter days, longer nights, and a shift toward qualities of light, dryness, coldness, mobility, subtleness, and roughness in nature.
