According to the ancient texts of Ayurveda, "All diseases begin at the junctions of the seasons." When we push against the essence of each season--going to bed late in the winter, eating sweet, heavy foods in the spring, or neglecting our skincare in the summer--we fall out of sync with nature and optimal health.
Drawing on more than a decade of experience, Chopra-certified teacher Susan Weis-Bohlen guides you through simple yet profoundly effective shifts to take a more holistic approach to your health, in line with traditional wisdom but adapted to modern lifestyles. In this book you will find:
-An Introduction to Ayurvedic practices, including meditation, breath work, chakras, mantras, yoga, and aromatherapy and essential oils
-A dosha quiz to assess your mind-body constitution
-A practical guide to the seasons explaining their relationship to each dosha
-Personalized Guidance to build a daily routine for each season
-Food as medicine recipes like Golden Milk for Sleep and Good Digestion and Spring Detox Soup
An essential guide to year-round health, Seasonal Self-Care Rituals will lead you through healing rituals and natural remedies to support your ideal body weight, increased focus and mental clarity, a healthier gut and microbiome, improved stamina, better sleep, and emotional wellness.
