This is awesome!🌟 Definitely feeling all of it!🍃🍁 I appreciate the reminders to transition gradually because my tendency is to go all in! Thank you, Monica!😃💚 Can I ask how do you know when the perfect time is for a Fall cleanse?

[@heymonicab]

YES!! Me too for some reason - really intense this fall. So NOW is a great time to do a fall cleanse - kitchari. Let me know if you need guidance on that!! XOXO

[@isa9ashley]

[@heymonicab]

Right on, sister!! Transition a little bit! I'll be back in a week or so with FULL ON vata guidelines, when the time is right :) XO!

Feeling it! And already having the cold that sometimes happens between seasons. :-( Vata season snuck up so quickly up in the PNW!

[@heymonicab]

Remember the warming spices, Jessica! Cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, cumin, fennel...all are so good to use in foods and teas to help warm you from the inside! Big hugs your way!!

I love your energy Monica 😊 I’m finding Ayurveda so so interesting. I live in NZ (but from UK) so I’m Southern Hemisphere and moving into Spring not Autumn 💚 It’s hard for me to still get my head around this, I have a November birthday so I’ve always been used to a birthday in the Fall but now it’s practically Summer. I’ve lived here 2 years now.

[@heymonicab]

OHHHH I have help for you too! Here's a kapha seasonal guide for ya! Someday can I come visit you in NZ?! I've always wanted to go there!! Thanks for your note and keep practicing Ayurveda! Here's the guide: bit.ly/2r4sA6W XOXO

Love your happy energy as always! I’m in Alberta Canada and it was summer one week and the past five days it’s been snowing. Winter really causes me a deep sadness and when it comes this early...skipping fall (though hopefully we will get warmer again soon for a bit)...what does one do? Jump right into Vata/Kapha? I think I’m Kapha Body Vata mind and trying to lose excess weight but a lot Kapha foods cause pain. I love Ayurveda but still have a tricky time personalizing it.

[@heymonicab]

OMG snow already!? Maybe fall will come back - make it's just flukey and you'll get your crisp fall air. I mean, that IS a quick transition. Overall, the common quality is cold. If you keep warm in diet (spices), body (steam showers + oil massage), and embrace exercise that is warming and grounding (weights, yoga, barre), that will help., Also...find something that lifts your spirit!! Art class? Jewelry-making? Cooking? Etc., Hobbies and being surrounded by great people can help lift your spirits. Re: personalizing it, start with the seasonal practices and observe what works for YOU. Repeat/adjust based on how you feel...but get started in some way. Hope that helps! You can get through this! XOXOX!!!

Hi Monicab! Super useful video delivered very simply as usual. :) Can I request you to pls comment on how to have a natural labor ayurveda style?

[@heymonicab]

OH that's a good one! Labor is soooooo individualized! I would say, depending on the person, go the best route YOU feel comfortable with. I can post/write on that for another topic - it's a GREAT one!! Thank you for suggesting, Shivani! Big hugs to you and bebe!! XOXO!

[@cindybenzinger]

Hi Monica B, could one include Ghee as a Vata balancing oil? and would a tablespoon in hot water be a good idea? Than you so much for these videos, awesome tips

[@eugenielebbos3265]

Feeling it!

[@heymonicab]

Oh yeah! Me too! What are you going to work on first?! I'm cutting stuff OUT - dealing with the overwhelm. How about you, Eugenie? XO!
