It’s starting to look a lot like fall….for most everyone except SoCal. We’ve been roasting for a month!🥵
The Autumn Equinox comes on the heels of a new moon! The perfect time to reflect, set intentions, and cleanse the body/mind/spirit from the past seasons energy.
I’m not big on cleanses and detoxes. Mostly because they don’t seem to agree with my system. However, looking through an Ayurvedic lens, cleansing to balance is a wildly different approach to detoxing than traditional methods.
This week, I am choosing to eat a purely Sattvic diet.
🌿Nourishing, Whole Foods
🌿No chilis, onions, garlic, caffeine
🌿No animal products (except homemade ghee)
🌿Sattvic over Rajasic and Tamasic foods➡️I’ll include a little snapshot of how each of those gunas plays a role in our being.
🌿Daily Dinacharya and Abhyanga
🌿Supporting digestion and hormone balance
🌿Working to soften and raise vibrations
Just a few things really 😅
This weeks menu ⤵️
Kitchari
Cassava Rotis with Saffron, honey, and ghee
Warmed, spiced fruit (apples, berries, nectarines)
Ginger Turmeric Tea
Steamed Vegetables with Chickpeas
Quinoa Pancakes with warmed fruit and honey
Etc….
Cleansing is not for everyone especially in the way it’s portrayed on fitness apps or insta feeds. I am simply taking a step back to evaluate my body…see what it needs…and show up for my systems in the best way I know how.
So if you find yourself listening to your body, take the next steps to connect and heal in the way that serves you.
Happy Fall friends!
