Fall Greetings from Ayurveda Seminars

Now we’re into the rainy season in the northwest, bringing increased exposure to upper respiratory infections, exacerbated by the cold, damp weather and reduced exposure to sunlight.  The best prevention is to build good immunity (‘ojas’ in Sanskrit) throughout the year, so your aura more easily repels airborne infection-causing organisms.  

Keeping warm is critical, both to protect from external cold by choosing insulating fabrics such as wool, (a sustainable, bio-degradable fiber), and from internal cold by choosing warming whole foods such as ginger, turmeric, peppers and carrots to mention only a few.  Avoiding cooling influences such as room temperature water and too much sitting is also important.                                                        
Emotions associated with cold quality such as anxiety and depression can increase in rainy, overcast conditions, so warming pranayama practices such as bastrika and kapala bati can help maintain positive, upward thinking.  Have you considered nourishing a generosity practice within your means, such as making secret donations or spontaneous gifting of your excess possessions or time?  Your warmed heart brings confident circulation to your extremities!

Give it a try in the laboratory of your own divine life.

Dinacharya and Panchakarma in Surrey

Is your personal health program up to date?  

Now is the time to consult your local Ayurveda practitioner to help prepare and adapt to the inevitable seasonal changes of life, especially at this junction of the fall moving soon into winter.  Ayurveda views each individual life as a unique gem in the never-ending necklace of life, and teaches that personalized adaptations of classical principles are to be adopted by each one as time moves forward. Some tips:

• SLEEP AND ARISE EARLY

• EXERCISE TO LIGHT SWEATING IN THE MORNINGS (EXCEPT ON MENSES), THEN RINSE OFF

• MAINTAIN WARM FEET

• COVER CROWN, EARS, THROAT AND NOSE WHEN OUT OF DOORS

• FAVOUR COOKED SOUPS AND ROOT VEGGIE STEWS BEFORE 7PM
