Life is a series of transitions. Nothing happens ‘all of a sudden’; there is a gradual rise and fall of energy in the process of letting go of one experience to embody the qualities of the next. Like a wave, cycles of energy and time gather momentum until they reach a peak, then release what they have accumulated to transform into something else.
Āyurveda teaches us how to observe the way our body/minds are influenced by the transitions within our environment — the basis of our existence — so that we may practice yoga, the remembrance of our interdependence and unity with all of Nature. In doing so, we can consciously work with the tides of life around us, strategically aligning ‘internal and external rhythms’ to create a healthy and harmonious state of body/mind. When we consciously align with the natural transitions in our environment, we can find vitality, peace and balance.
Āyurveda and Yoga recommend initiating a week or so of dietary cleansing and daily rituals during seasonal change to introduce stability, reset digestive functionality and increase immunity of body/mind.
The wave of autumn is approaching. The rising heat and dryness that have accumulated in our body/minds durning the long, bright Summer days must be alleviated before the cool, dry winds of Fall and Winter establish themselves. Otherwise, a lingering systemic dryness is set in the internal stage that translates to Fall coughs, colds, flus and allergies which leads to weakened immune systems during the Winter months.
This class on the Fall Equinox will begin with a meditation led by Pavanjeet, then unfold the traditional Ayurvedic seasonal cleansing practice, discussing in depth what is digestion and why seasonal digestive support is important for immunity, vitality and energy!
