It's no secret that when the seasons change so does your attitude. During the Fall to Winter change, you might feel a bit of the blues, while the Winter to Spring change may increase your mood. But did you know that your body feels the seasons changing, too?
The oldest living medical practices, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic (or Traditional Indian Medicine), teach that the body, mind, and spirit change with the seasons. Spring is known as a time of renewal, as you can tell, with seeds sprouting, flowers blooming, and warmth hugging you like an old friend. The King of the Seasons, Spring is the perfect time for cleansing the body and mind, and awakening the spirit in time for the fiery Summer.
Use the renewing energy of the Spring to support your body and mind through a happy and healthy summer. The roots you plant now, in this moist and colorful Season, will provide stability, balance, and nourishment throughout the hotter months when the energy is high and moods are lifted. Honoring yourself during the Seasonal transitions means embracing the growth, freshness, and changes in the body, mind, and spirit.
Help yourself ease into Summer with our Say Yes To You day retreat on May 21.
