"How you live, how you act in the world, how you respond to situations, all happen because of an inner quality and strength. That inner quality and inner strength is contained in the mind. You become what you think. Thinking and becoming, however, both have to be in sync with each other."

🌷 4 things to focus on during your Spring Cleanse 🌷

The source of this post's content is the blog post by Tiffany Nicholson-Smith from Rasa Ayurveda Website

🥗 DIET 🥗
• During your spring cleanse, focus on incorporating lighter, nourishing foods that pacify Kapha dosha and support detoxification.
• Emphasise fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and light proteins such as mung beans and tofu.
• Perfect time for: Soups, Stews, Whole Grains, Porridge, Vegetables Dishes, Bean Dishes and gently Stewed Fruits, Herbal Teas and Warm Beverages

💤 REST 💤
• Rest is considered one of the 3 pillars of great health according to Ayurveda.
• Prioritise adequate rest and relaxation during your spring cleanse to support the body's natural healing processes.
•Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep to support the body's natural healing processes.
• Establish a calming bedtime routine, such as gentle yoga stretches, meditation, or reading, to signal to your body that it's time to unwind and prepare for sleep.

🌱 HERBS 🌱
• Integrate Ayurvedic herbs and supplements into your spring cleanse to enhance detoxification and rejuvenation.
• Beneficial herbs include: turmeric, ginger, neem, and tulsi, which help to purify the body and boost immunity.

🧘‍♂️ YOGA & PRANAYAMA 🧘‍♂️
• Integrate yoga and pranayama (breathwork) practices into your spring cleanse to harmonize the body and mind.
• Yoga poses that focus on twisting, stretching, and stimulating the digestive organs can aid in detoxification and promote circulation.
• Pranayama techniques such as Kapalabhati and Nadi Shodhana help to purify the respiratory system, calm the mind, and enhance vitality.

🧘‍♀️ Conscious in the Unconscious 🧘‍♀️
- the Practice of Yoga Nidra

⭐️ Welcome to our fourth post delving into the wisdom contained in the practice of Yoga Nidra
⭐️ From previous posts, we have found out about the constitution of the three layers of human mind - the conscious, subconscious and unconscious
⭐️ Yoga Nidra is a technique that enables us to reach the unconscious mind in a conscious way so that we will be able to see our hidden roots and eradicate them.
⭐️ It is a practical way to gradually clean the mind.

🌱 HEALING POWER OF YOGA NIDRA 🌱

✨ Yoga Nidra offers practical benefits that can help each and every one of us
The power of Yoga Nidra lies in its ability to help us manage stress levels in today's fast-paced world
✨ This is particularly important now, as it is so important to equip yourself with a tool for keeping one of the most dangerous threats of modern life under control – stress.

🌀 Stress is one of the most common causes of disease in the current world is stress.
🌀 It is such an accepted part of modern life, that it is often not recognized until the endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive and other systems of the body have already been negatively affected.
🌀 When emotions such as anger, excitement, and anxiety occur, there is a physiological response called, “the fight and flight” reaction in which the heart rate is raised, the digestive system slows down, and the breath speeds up.
🌀 This response is useful in a dangerous situation for a short time; however, this “fight and flight” state has become a normal and prolonged condition for many people.
🌀 This unaware state of stress, taxes and tires the human system eventually resulting in conditions such as high blood pressure, cancer, stomach ailments, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, and anxiety.

This is where Yoga Nidra comes in with its supportive and healing techniques for overcoming everyday stress 💙

Stay tuned for the next week post to delve deeper into Yoga Nidra healing properties! ☀️
