🌸 It's time to lighten your load!

🌸 Spring is coming!

 It's time to lighten your load!

As we finally emerge from Winter with Kapha in excess, we require assistance in eliminating all the toxic sludge (AMA) of Winter that is congesting our bodily systems.  

Ayurveda is a science of qualities and relates to how we interact with the world.  The characteristics of Winter are wet, cold, dense, slow and hibernation.  We interact with this environment and absorb these qualities feeling sluggish, congested with a slower metabolism we gain weight, have a lack of motivation, a heaviness and dullness in the mind and body, and may experience excessive sleep. 

We need to clear this heaviness and encourage the rejuvenation of Spring! Spring brings movement, water begins to flow again, flowers bloom, birds build nests – it’s a time of renewed energy and positivity.  We need to prepare our bodies adequately to benefit from this interaction so we once again can flow and bloom too!

Here are some suggestions for combatting the heavy quality of winter with the light quality of Spring:

• Add more light soups for dinner including veggie broths (particularly beneficial for those with poor digestion) - aids in reducing Ama (toxins). Kitchari is a wonderful option as it consists of rice and lentils, with spices such as ginger, black pepper, cumin, turmeric.This dish is easily digestible and helps eliminate heaviness.
• Release repressed emotions through activities like journaling, in order to prevent these emotions from festering in your lungs, stomach and liver.
• Practice Pranayama (Breathing exercises)
• Go for daily walks in nature.
• Add aromatherapy:  Inhale our freshly fragrant incense created to invoke feelings of relaxation such as our captivating sacred Rose scent.  As stimulating scent travels through the nose to the brain, dormant areas of the brain re-awaken, clearing away Winter’s cobwebs.
• Have healing bath with salts:  Add our restorative bath salts, with detoxifying minerals, to “draw out” toxins from your body that have accumulated as a result of inactivity during Winter.
• Drink nourishing teas: Our unique tea blends contain the purest ingredients combined to provide the best synergistic benefits to uplift and help detox you for this Spring season ensuring the smooth flow of your internal systems!

Why do a little spring cleaning? Here are just a few of the benefits you will reap.

• Less bloating as metabolism is increased
• Efficient elimination
• Improved quality sleep with the release of serotonin
• Sharper cognition with better functioning of neuro-chemicals
• Anxiety relief and emotional release
• Deep purification and detoxification on all levels
