Ayurveda con Amrita -
Abrazando la temporada de renovación

Spring whispers are in the air! Longer days, vibrant blooms, and a gentle sounds of bugs in the breeze calling in a new season. Can you feel it stirring within you too?

​

Is Your Body Ready to Bloom?

If you like to watch nature, you would have noticed how it awakens from its winter slumber, so too can you. Here are some signs you might be ready to shed the heaviness of winter and embrace spring's energy:

• Waking up with a clear, refreshed mind.

• Feeling energised and motivated throughout the day.

• A spark of excitement to plan for the future.

• Creativity blossoms with fresh ideas and new seasonal ingredients.

At this time of the year Spring Cleaning is more than just for your home...

Its not all fun for everyone at this time, I know, flowers mean pollen.  For those of us with an undermimined immune system this can be a challenging time for allergies. And in Ayurveda that means boost your immune system with an internal spring clean, the perfect time for a personal cleanse. Imagine yourself like a seed, ready to push through the soil and reach for the light. But cluttered ground (both physical and internal) can hinder your growth.

This season, consider a one day or twenty one day cleanse to shed any winter residue and create space for new beginnings. Here are some practices to help you feel your best.

​

Kickstart Your Day:

• Warm lemon water with a touch of sea salt: Wakes up your digestive fire and prepares you for elimination.

• Hot water throughout the day: Aids in clearing congestion and promoting internal cleansing.

​​

Nourish Your Body & Mind:

• Meditation: Focus on your intentions and what you wish to cultivate in the coming season.

• Exercise outdoors: Embrace the sunshine with invigorating workouts like dynamic yoga.

• Steam or hot baths: Let your worries sweat away while cleansing your skin.

​​

Food for Thought (and Growth):

• Lighten your diet: Decrease heavy, oily and fried foods.

• Embrace seasonal flavours: Introduce more bitter, spicy, and astringent foods like arugula, radish, and fennel (see my Fennel Fronds Pesto recipe below!).

​​

Shift Your Perspective:

• Inversions (yoga poses): Gain a fresh view on the world, both physically and metaphorically.

​​

Spring Forward with Renewed Energy!

This season of growth is the perfect time to:

• Launch new projects fueled by spring socialising fever.

• Unroll your yoga mat and reconnect with your practice.

• Sow the seeds of your dreams and watch them flourish in a moon circle.
