Dear Friends,
According to ancient texts, disease takes place in the body only during the change of seasons. For instance, in Autumn the restlessness of nature and climate variation - some days are colder and drier, others warmer and humid - can create imbalances in the body that manifest as nervousness, anxiety, fears and feelings of being scattered. Left unchecked these feelings weaken the immune system and the body is more susceptible to diseases.
Here are some tips to help the body adjust better to Autumn and both repair and prepare for Winter time:
-
reduce sweets and sour foods
-
increase bitter and astringent tastes
-
eat warming and nourishing foods: soups/stews
-
practice Yoga regularly and include breathing techniques with long and smooth flow of air
-
drink lots of water
Seasonal changes invite us to cleanse, to get rid of the irrelevant and toxic in our lives, to nourish and secure the body for the opportunities and changes that are ahead in the horizon. When we cooperate with the rhythms of nature, growth and healing naturally manifest and peaceful and harmonious feelings override all stresses.
Make sure you adopt some of the Autumn tips and do not miss our 6th Anniversary Celebration -Open House, OCT 10 - and all the new classes we have carefully prepared for you. Blessings to all and have a wonderful Autumn!
Love and Light,

Quality of the Month
" Nature rewards cooperation"
"It is through cooperation, rather than conflict, that your greatest successes will be derived"
Cooperation is the main tool nature uses to avoid conflict and reach its best result. Each system and organ in the body also needs to coordinate their functions with one another to find perfect integration and optimal health.
Everything works in cooperation with something else and this constitutes the basis for harmony on both the individual and global level. Indeed, the spirit of cooperation is an opportunity for all to come to fruition and reach their best, as exemplified by nature. Diversity urges cooperation with others, with nature, with mind, with body, and with spirit. The only position of long term strength is cooperation. Cultivate it!
"The only thing that will redeem humankind is cooperation" - Bertrand Russel.
