love the rain!

Something so rare for us- the hard constant rains. They are necessary, as the Vata(dry) season is beginning to transition into the Kapha (wet,heavy) season. Use this time to nurture your body and spirit. Cleansing is important as the seasons shift, because we do too! Self massage (abhyanga) with some sesame or sunflower oil a.m. or p.m., a beautiful bath, and warm foods with more spice are beneficial to avoid the heaviness of the coming season. It's okay to be inside for a short period of time. This allows us to be quiet, to read, to cook, to organize and think about direction. It is also the time to begin excercise and more movement. We flow with the transition of the seasons, so just go with it! Love yourself.. the world benefits from that more than you know!
