Today on the anxiety Slayer podcast, Ananga and I are sharing tips from I Irveda, India's

ancient science of life on how to calm your anxiety in the summer heat.

Welcome back to another episode, Ananga.

Hey Shen, it's so good to be with you.

Summer anxiety is different than the anxiety that we experience the other

seasons of the year. How so? The heat brings a different influence on our body and

on our mind when we heat up we can feel a certain type of

anxiety that's quite restless and often frustrated. Frustrated, self-critical, that's what the heat brings, it brings up that fire, that pitter, energy,

and we have a tendency to do it to ourselves as well to turn in on ourselves and be frustrated.

Aravader teaches that we experience different types of anxiety according to our mind and body type or dolsha,

our set up, our mind body set up.

And I think it can be helpful to talk through those and explore them a bit.

It can lead to some good insights and some humor as well.

Humor for sure as I think about my pit of self and how often I need to get my feet in the

water during the summer.

Yeah. It helps so much. But yeah, anxiety levels vary for each of us

depending on our Docia. And as we mentioned can be influenced by the season.

So during the summer when it's super hot,

Vata, Pita, and Kafa all act a little bit differently.

And Vata is the Doshi most associated with anxiety

and can be feeling scattered,

can rush from one incomplete task or action to another can be really forgetful.
