Dear Holistic Health & Natural Healing Friends,
Feeling bloated, congested, sluggish, recurrent thought patterns, jittery, spacey, angry, withdrawn, depressed?
Consider what you are eating, drinking, thinking, feeling, and practicing in your life. Spring is arriving-time to simplify and cleanse!
Each organ and physiological system has its own peak cleansing season. Springtime is peak cleansing time for liver & gallbladder. When the liver and gallbladder are clogged, toxic, not functioning in optimal states of wellness or 'tonified' (yes, most organs have muscles and can be flabby or toned, like other muscles in the body!) we experience varying, states of internal 'disharmony' which then extend into other aspects of our creativity, productiveness, thought patterns, work habits, familial relationships, friendships and more.
In Winter, we often crave extra 'hibernation', indoor or internal activities-particularly, food, down time, and sleep. Maybe we've watched alot of movies, spent a great deal of time on the computer, or put in long hours at work, cooking, driving. However, as Spring arrives, the body, mind, heart & spirit desire new, refreshing, uplifting, cleaner ways of living.
Try these tips to release toxicity, restore your palate, and rejuvenate your being:
*Cut down on coffee & add in green/white/and herbal teas (hot or cold), fresh squeezed juices, lemonades, limeades, ginger drinks, smoothies, water and other cool, refreshing bevvies.
*Increase raw fruits & veggies, whole grains & beans, live & cultured foods like sprouts, natural pickles, kombucha, or plain yogurt (cow, goat, soy).
*Cut down on (or out) heavy dairy, white flours & sugars, excessively, salty, sweet, packaged, canned and preserved foods.
*Add in sour & pungent foods like radishes, turnips, collard greens, beet greens, grapefruits, high quality vinegars (apple cider, brown rice), paprika, cumin.
*Use honey or maple syrup instead of white sugar & corn syrup.
*Use flax, olive, or grapeseed oil rather than vegetable or corn oil.
*Switch up your exercise routine-head outside, stretch more, try a new sport.
*Examine thought patterns and stored emotions--practice releasing the old and incorporating the new.
*Clean your house thoroughly, open closets, purge the basement, scrub dark & dusty corners.
*Consider adding a new, spiritual element into your life like a calming meditation or zen fountain.
Remember, the healing work we practice in the Spring also, leads to greater energy, strength, fulfillment, joy, and harmony in the Summer.
Blossom forth!
Peace, Love & Healing,
