Self Care

Your body is the vehicle.

Take well care of it.

Listen to it. What can you do to make it happy?

Learn and remember how wonderful it is to feel light and healthy.

Eat well, eat happy. Sleep well. Live yoga, do yoga. lots of it.

Limitless possibilities.

Ayurvedic remedies, or whatever feels "right"

Bring it on, bring on the glow!

Only the present is real.

My body is not in complete balance yet,
getting there.

hormones, body function, really improving.

But there are always those days when the body is just oh so dull, and effects you mentally, immensely.

I feel like it can't get any worse and lose all the motivation that has ever built up.

But I'm back, because things never stay the same. Be patient, things will change and you will move on.

Don't push the self. Give it good care, create happiness, be positive.

And all will come with.

Soup lunches

Successfully finished a workshop on ayurvedic skincare with the doctor - and wonderful friend.

Lots of soups are recommended for healthy skin.

Needless to say though, inner beauty reflects outer beauty.

Summer cooking!

Assisted a cooking class yesterday at the yoga studio.
Beautiful and delicious!

Moong

Cycle and full moon tonite.
Some moong leading up to these days.
Moong(soaked in water overnight) with basmati and quinoa, accompanied with summer veggies such as
Japanese cucumber, togan
Gourd, goya
Both rich in potassium and has cooling, diuretic effects like the watermelon. (Had watermelon juice this morning! )
Other summery dishes like ratatouille and daikon salads!
Can't resist:)

Loving gluten -free life.

Naturally, sattvic choices!
Munching on seedless juicy Chilean grapes.

With the sun setting...

Chopping fresh organic veggies,
Soaking moong beans,
Preparing grains
Tidying up the kitchen and props

Listening to my instinct

And 半身浴習慣スタート!
Encouraging perspiration by taking a warm bath every morning.
(with some radio or meditation)
I really needed this. Looking forward to results.
Glow. Healthy body, healthy mind.

Hot humid days...

The thing about Japan is that its not just about heat. Which means pitta is not the only dosha aggravated.
With the humidity (80% today) theres fire elements + water.
This is the dullness and heaviness you feel in the body along with the heat.
Yes, with PMS too, I definitely feel sluggish too!
But daily routines CAN help.
 
# try waking up at the same time everyday
# detox! this is just regular perspiration & excretion! (Sweat and morning stools)
# eat cooling & lite foods (just listen to your body, im sure your body is wanting a soothing bowl of rice noodles, or juicy watermelons!)
# moderate exercise and work:)
 
Ahhhhh have FUN.
-Yoga in the morning
-Japanese vegetables
-Basmati rice & Quinoa with saffron

Collaging.

Inspirations.
Finding.
Discovery.
