1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this episode of Espiritu Coffee Chats, hosts Arlene Salcedo (founder of Luna Soul Wellness, spiritual mentor, healer, and Ayurvedic practitioner) and Valerie Urrutia (owner of Surge Coffee) dive into the wisdom of Ayurveda to explore Vata season—the transitional time from late summer into fall and winter. Arlene shares how Vata season, governed by air and space, influences our body, mind, and emotions. From allergies and restlessness to scattered thinking and anxious energy, this season can leave us feeling ungrounded. But Ayurveda provides us with timeless tools to restore balance. Together, Arlene and Valerie walk you through practical daily rituals such as: ✨ Ayurvedic cleanses to clear the body after summer’s intensity ✨ Abhyanga oil massage to soothe the nervous system and nourish the skin ✨ Grounding foods like root vegetables, soups, and stews to bring warmth and stability ✨ Breathwork practices (box breathing, alternate nostril breathing, Ujjayi) to calm and focus the mind ✨ Spiritual rituals—journaling, moon gazing, candlelight meditation, and ancestral connection—to honor the deeper meaning of the season This episode will leave you inspired to slow down, ground yourself, and embrace the spiritual invitation of Vata season: to release what no longer serves and prepare for renewal. Thought-Provoking Questions for Listeners How does the changing season affect your energy, mood, and routines? What would shift if you slowed down and created more grounding rituals in your daily life? Which Ayurvedic practices—food, breathwork, or body rituals—could help you feel more rooted this fall?
