Week of November 2nd

For Vata types, the time change feels like losing your anchor. Your whole day feels off— forgetting what you were about to do, losing your train of thought, starting three things and finishing none. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you feel scattered and restless, moving but accomplishing nothing. Your mind won't turn off at night, or you wake at 2 or 3 a.m. with thoughts already spinning.

Your Vata nervous system— already naturally variable— loses its grounding when the rhythm shifts.

In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why the time change scatters your already-mobile nervous system and give you a simple Evening Grounding Practice to help you adjust quickly.

Your prescription this week is to do your 10-Minute Evening Grounding Practice between 4:30-6:30 p.m. daily— because giving your variable system this consistent anchor is what finally calms the scattered anxiety.

Listen now to learn:

• Why Vata types struggle most with the time change— your nervous system needs external cues to stay grounded
• The Evening Grounding Practice that anchors your scattered system through warmth, pressure, and routine
• The critical importance of doing this at the same time every evening to recalibrate your body clock

Your Turn: Do your Evening Grounding Practice every evening this week at the same time. Notice what happens to your sleep, your breathing, that spinning feeling. Tag @myarvasi on Instagram and share what shifted.
