New Moon Rituals
New Moon Rituals Don’t know how to do it?Here are a couple of tips to get you started 💕 Cleanse your space – I like to use a sage smudge stick or Palo Santo but you can even use an incense stick. Move the smoke around the room in a clockwise direction, ensuring the smoke reaches every corner to cleanse the space of negative energy. Even easier in a roundhouse! Meditate – this is even as simple as placing one hand on your heart, the other on the floor and closing your eyes. Noticing the breath and counting it to 10, then start again at 0. This can be a brilliant thing to do before and after journalling. Journal – now is the time to grab your journal! The New Moon is a time to set intentions for the month ahead. Each moon has a slightly different energy and focus. This month is the ideal time to think about intentions relating to the home and family. Set an affirmation – select a intention and turn it into an affirmation by changing the language to make it something that is already real. Eg my loved ones are happy, safe and well. Visualise – take time now to visualise this intention becoming reality. Take some time each day to come back to it and visualise it again. Previous PostNext Post
Ayurveda and the Doshas…
Ayurveda and the Doshas… The Ayurvedic medical system and way of living has been about for as long as yoga itself, going back over 5,000 years. One starting point is finding out your Dosha. This is decided by your generic makeup as well as personality traits. So part of it is fixed and some of it can be fairly fluid with changes in your lifestyle over time. You may be purely one dosha at this moment in time or a combination of two or all three. From here it will make suggestions as to what may help you find balance in your life. Why not take the Dosha Quiz So… you know your dosha, what now? You may be Vata, Pitta, Kapha or a mix of two or three of them and it may change over time as life and circumstances change. I know personally I am very Vata, but my yoga teaching really helps to balance me out. I can be very much in my head but my slow, calming, soothing and nurturing yoga practices really help to ground me. So it is about getting to know yourself and finding what you can do to help you find balance. If you are very Kapha you may need more of a fiery practice to raise your energy. If you are pitta you may need a class where the teacher tells you exactly what to do so you can come out of your leadership mind and can be guided. But what is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is about learning how to live and work with your constitution and the Ayurvedic principles to prevent illness rather than treating a medical condition once you become sick. This medicinal system may sound very different to what we have today but to me it sounds a lot better. It gets me thinking about the old saying “prevention is better than cure”.
