Seasonal Self-Care Rituals by Susan Weis-Bohlen
Description
Reap the health benefits of Ayurveda and optimize your seasonal habits with powerful, personalized self-care rituals to achieve permanent weight loss, increased focus, and emotional wellness.
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—staying up late in the winter, eating sweet, heavy foods in the spring, or neglecting our skin 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 readers through simple yet profoundly effective, dosha-specific remedies and rituals—including food & drink, meditation, yoga, essential oils, chakra alignment, mantra, and breathwork—to support your ideal body weight, increased focus and mental clarity, a healthier microbiome, improved stamina, better sleep, and emotional wellness.
Featuring an all-new new dosha quiz measuring both mind and body constitution—Seasonal Self-Care Rituals is an essential guide to year-round health.
My Review
Most of us have been practicing self-care over the last year while in lockdown trying to soothe ourselves from the new stresses we’ve experienced because of COVID. Maybe it’s a daily skincare routine, dieting, clean eating, yoga, or any other fitness routine that fits into our lives.
For me, I’ve been practicing yoga for about 13 years now, get my monthly Birchbox delivery for skincare, and have been meditating every day to get through this new routine. It’s hard with everyone in the house, working from home, and taking care of all the other normal daily rituals to keep the house in order, but one thing I’ve learned is that it’s necessary to take time for yourself. Maybe you don’t know where or how to start and that’s where this book comes in.
You’ll learn new techniques to stay sane, get healthy by eating better, and most importantly turning inward to find what works for you. You don’t have to do everything this book suggests but you will find something that works for you.
