Ayurveda in Vata Season: Rahu Shadows, Sattvic Food & the Medicine of Attention

Quote from Episode:

“We have to protect our focus—like our life depends on it, because it does.” — Bridge Ochoa


Show Notes:

Hot-and-scattered September has a signature, and Ayurveda calls it Vata season. In this New Moon reflection, Nicholas and Bridge trace how eclipse energy (Rahu), altitude, dry winds, and screen overload stir anxiety, sleeplessness, and overconsumption—and what to do about it. They name food as first medicine for fall (pumpkin, squash, roots, ghee in moderation), plus sattvic routines that regulate the nervous system before the hacks: breath, movement, simple meals, earlier nights. They touch on Pitta-driven skin flares (folliculitis, dermatitis) and offer a gentle home tip: a chickpea-flour face wash for light exfoliation and astringency. There’s a nod to Dhanvantari, and an invitation to try a 24-hour observation practice—witnessing thoughts and cravings without judgment, then choosing opposites to rebalance. If your mind feels windblown, this episode is a steadying exhale.


Side Bar: Dhanvatari was brought up because I said Ayurveda 3 times, and I wanted to know who would show up because I did... We used to have scary stories about murderers and ghosts that show up when you say their names.. haha
