From an Ayurvedic approach, a cleanse or a detox is about moving toxicity out of the physical, mental and energetic bodies by bringing nutrients in- physically, mentally, and energetically. The focus is on satiation, not deprivation.
It is most powerful to make lifestyle changes gradually to ensure that you are able to sustain new habits and enjoy the deepest possible benefits over time. This will be an entirely different approach to the way we think about detoxing or creating new habits.
Devised through my own cleansing and detoxing experiences over many years, the approach I’ve found most effective and the one I want to share with you, is all about nourishing and listening to the body to create new habits over time. We will explore different, gentle Ayurvedic techniques for nourishment, cultivating body wisdom, removing toxicity, and building vitality. You will take what works for you and leave the rest behind. I have found these habits personally to reduce inflammation, increase energy, improve sleep, improve clarity in thinking and decision making, and boost creativity and JOY!
Simple recipes, digestive spices, herbs, and ayurvedic rituals and practices will be featured each week. Recipes will be balanced and delicious, protein and nutrient rich, and one pot. You will not go hungry!
You will learn about the doshas and make choices independently for your specific mind-body type about food, spices and practices that are best for you. These new understandings and habits can improve sleep, boost energy, soothe fatigued adrenals, heal the digestive and lymphatic systems, and clear toxicity on mental and emotional levels as well.
We will take a slower approach that creates longer lasting changes by shifting our biochemistry and letting the body/brain axis communicate to us when it’s time to shift whatever is causing us to feel stuck, lethargic or unhealthy.
We will create a loving presence for the body and nurture it back to wholeness. This approach is not about will power, it’s about changing biochemistry and letting the body and intuition to lead the way.
