Episode 122

Ayurveda teaches us the importance of seasonal regimes to assist us in maintaining balance and preventing dis-ease during the change of the seasons, when the changes in weather can have a huge impact on us physically and mentally.

With these suggested Ritucharya or seasonal guidelines, we can:

• Maintain balance of the doshas of Vata, Pitta & Kapha
• Maintain balance of the mental gunas of Sattva, Rajas & Tamas
• Boost our immunity
• Prevent seasonal sickness
• Help us to smoothly transition into the coming season

Colette provides general advice on how to modify your diet and lifestyle to match the seasons and prevent seasonal sickness.

Episode 4

Episode #4 Ritusandhi is the junction between the seasons, where there’s confusion in nature and this leads to confusion in our body. Ayurveda recommends cleansing at this time to prevent the accumulation of toxins that can lead to illness and to hit the ‘reset’ button, helping the body with this transition by:

• Nurturing the body with easy digestible foods
• Eliminating stored toxins in the fat cells
• Clearing the blocked channels of the body
• Preventing toxins from accumulating in the body
• Bringing calm to the mind and nervous system
• Tuning into the Circadian rhythms
• Rejuvenating the body/mind post-cleanse
• Restoring balance, clarity and energy!

 In this episode, Colette discusses the Ayurvedic concept of Ama (toxins) and how accumulating ama is the bedrock of dis-ease in the body and mind. She’ll also discuss;

• Signs of ama in your body/mind
• How to prevent ama
• How to treat ama
• The importance of seasonal cleansing to prevent the build up of ama in the body
