Springing into Summer
Ever feel like you just need a bit of a pick-me-up in time for Summer? Still carrying some of that Winter warmth on you? Feel like your mind is foggy and you can't seem to think straight?
These are all normal occurrences during the junction of two seasons - a phenomena predicted by Ayurveda over 5000 years ago. And along with giving these predictions, Ayurveda also gave us the cure!
3 Tips To Avoid Overeating This Holiday Season
The above image is exactly how some organs in our body think when we're faced with too much good food! And this scenario plays out in our lives a few times too many - especially around Christmas and New Years when our diaries are filled with work parties, social drinks and family get-togethers. Our eyes are faced with lavish spreads and we're forced to make very difficult decisions - do I listen to my tongue or do I listen to my stomach?
What is Ayurveda?
I thought we'd begin right at the very beginning and understand a few of the key foundational concepts of Ayurveda. Ayurveda literally means 'the science (Veda) of life (Ayur)', and is a wholesome and all encompassing way of looking at health. It incorporates the physical, sensory/emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions within a person, and looks at each as an integral component of an individual's health. This is one of my favourite parts of Ayurveda - that it looks beyond the physical body and into other aspects of the individual's life. So don't be alarmed if you come in for a massage and you get asked questions about your sleeping patterns, bowel movements or what you eat - it's all inter-connected.
