This is one of the best tips you may ever receive - especially when the fire energy of summer is affecting body and mind.

Fire energy is very action oriented, when it starts to show up as symptoms in mind or body, the invitation is to do the opposite and practice non doing.

This could be meditation- which hopefully you are doing year round - sitting in the forest, by the water or maybe an afternoon siesta. No matter how you do it, balance the doing with non-doing and feel how it brings in cooling and calming to body and mind!

Wishing you a beautiful day, as always reach out if I can help you in your journey!

Intentions without actions rarely manifest as much. For those of you that set intentions with the new moon consider this your reminder to take action - big or small - that support them over the next day or so.

That’s all friends, wishing you all a beautiful day!

The days are getting shorter here in the northern hemisphere, subtle signs that the seasons will be changing soon, however, despite these feelings for fall, we still have a lot of summer season to go.

As I’ve been sharing with you ways to manage the excess fire or Pitta that may be showing up in mind or body today’s reminder is to continue to commit to these practises for at least another month or so until the seasonal change especially if you are experiencing signs of pitta imbalance.

That’s all friends, check my previous posts for more calming and cooling practises or a reach out if I can help you along your journey. Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Do you ever offer yourself a digestive break? Both Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine support mono eating - in varying degrees based on an individuals mind-body constitution - giving the digestive system a chance to reset.

Ayurveda offers us kitchari, which I’ve shared about before, a mix of rice and easy to digest mung beans and spices to aid and ease digestion.

Ayurveda also promotes Kangee, congee in traditional Chinese medicine, as a helpful cure to ails which is what I made for my Saturday brunch.

Try bringing either of these into your diet at least once a week and give your body a meal or a day off. Both dishes are easy to make and recommend for all constitutions (with possible spice differences) As always reach out to your practitioners to find out what’s right for you. Wishing you a beautiful day and healthy digesting!

Yin style stretching is cooling and grounding in nature - the watery yin to a fiery yang - add it in a few days a week and explore how it feels to your mind and body. As always give it consistent effort and some time for the magic to happen. Helpful for pain and stress management, inflammation, bone density, anxiety and so much more.

That’s all friends, wishing you all a beautiful day!

Mother Moon, offers us beautiful cooling and calming energies, perfect for beating the summer heat. If you are dealing with excess heat or fire energy, also known as excess Pitta, give this a simple moon bathing practice a try and see how it feels.

The good news is you don’t have to DO anything (other then be able to stay up till the moon comes up, a bit of a challenge for m 🤣) Just sit or lie down under the moonlight and allow it to do its thing. Close your eyes or gaze at the stars - also great for Vata doshas and imbalances - for as long as feels good and let mind and body soak up these cool and calm energies. That’s it. Ahhhh. Full moon blessings friends!

Can you cool and calm body and mind with simple breath techniques? Heck ya!!

I’ve shared with you before the benefits of alternate, nostril, breathing, or Nadi Shodana, to bring balance within mind and body. We can also cool and calm, or heat and stimulate through breath.

If we apply a single nostril breath through the left nostril, we invite in cooling to mind and body. The left nostril correlates to divine feminine energies, the moon, the parasympathetic nervous system, when activated we invite in these sensations into mind and body.

The practises are not complex, but as always listen to your body and reach out to find out if they are appropriate for you. If you are feeling this summer heat, I invite you to try the single nostril cooling breath and see how it helps you stay calm, cool and collected.

wishing you all a beautiful day, as always reach out if I can help you along the path to mind and body health.

How are you moving with the season? When we are aligning with natures rhythms and the seasons it’s important to pay attention to what may be happening in both body and mind, symptoms, a guide to balance or imbalances happening within.

The primary elements at play during the summer season or pitta season are fire and water, with the fire element being the most common to shift out of balance. Altering your practises slightly to better suit the season can have you feeling better in body and mind.

Today I’m sharing with you a few simple ways to help mind the fire that burns within you through movement practices.

Watch for my next posts where I’ll cover nutrition and lifestyle tips to help you beat the heat during the summer season.

Wishing you all a beautiful day friends, as always reach out if I can help you along your health and fitness journey.

I did a thing last night and wanted to share with my fellow mid-lifers. I’ve played competitive beach volleyball for most of my adult life but have had a little - or not so little - hiatus for a few years. Well this was the year to get back to it, I’m a late start in the season and just had my first match last night. I’m grateful to my partner for her patience as I dusted off some cobwebs and returned to a sport I’ve loved longtime.

As I’ve shared with you before, aging doesn’t have to mean giving up the activities we enjoy but we do have to be committed to our conditioning, nutrition, rest and recovery more so than our earlier years. Even so we may get some push back and soreness as nothing really prepares us for the dynamic nature that is real sport in real time.

For this coach, it was sun salutations, CARS and a little walk to flush the legs and I’m feeling the kinetic energy return. Ready and excited to play again.

All of us are unique and understanding what makes YOU feel better, perform better and recover better may be a bit different but the principles remain the same. Age doesn’t have to be a limiting factor. As always reach out if you need help with mind and body health, be it training for sport or life!! Wishing you all a beautiful day!
