Seasonal Wellness
Isn't it incredible how much we are influenced by the world around us? The time of day, the seasons, and ALL the rhythms of nature affect us. When we live in harmony with the rhythms of nature, we live with optimal vibrancy and health. When we ignore the rhythms of nature, we deplete ourselves and experience disease (literally, dis-ease).
I've created wellness guides for each season for you. The more you work with aligning yourself to the season, the more you return to your intuition, lighting the inner spark that's always within you. These are gentle suggestions - pick one or two that resonate with you and see how it goes. And make sure to read below on how to manage the transition between the seasons.

Minding The Gap Between Seasons
|
The transition between seasons always leaves us guessing. One day, it's chilly and the next day it's hot, hot, hot. This transition between seasons, which typically lasts 2-4 weeks, is a time to be flexible by taking cues from nature's changes. For example, when it's warm, favor more sweet and bitter foods, which are naturally cooling. When it's cold, favor more grounding foods with added spices.
During a seasonal shift, your outer environment (the weather) as well as your inner environment (your digestion and constitution) can fluctuate daily, and sometimes throughout a single day. This can be very unsettling to your body and mind, making it the perfect time to begin embracing more routine. It's amazing how grounding regular meal, wake and sleep times are - your body and mind will thank you! In fact, science is proving that WHEN you eat is as important as WHAT you eat.
