SPRING IS THE SEASON OF RENEWAL AND GROWTH

4/7/2017

In nature, spring is a time of renewal and growth. Flowers emerge from the melting snow as the dormant, dark, winter weather is replaced by the cool, damp days of spring. The days become longer and brighter. Snow melts and streams swell with run-off. Our bodies assimilate this excess dampness which can create congestion in the sinuses, lungs and lymph. Spring colds, coughs and allergies are common and may leave us feeling sluggish and foggy. Everyone experiences these seasonal influences to some degree, regardless of their constitution or dosha. Our bodies are working to shake off the lethargy of winter and prepare for renewal.
To assist this process, Ayurveda recommends seasonal cleansing to rid the body of physical and emotional toxins, allowing for growth and renewal of our cells (and thoughts and emotions!). Note that ayurveda seasonal cleansing has nothing to do with mass marketed “juice fasts” or their variations. Rather, an ayurveda cleanse is a comprehensive, custom-designed program that is tailored to the individual’s unique dosha and current state of physical and emotional balance.
The late Kailas, a certified ayurveda therapist offered this beautiful description of ayurveda’s view on cleansing: “Cleansing should be thought of as a ‘full spectrum’ process. There is no point in cleansing one’s organs if one does not cleanse the mind and the heart. The spiritual message of Ayurveda is that the heart is naturally pure and clear, and the mind is naturally free. When we cleanse the organs and the tissues…we should always consider cleansing the mind as well.” When the body, mind and spirit are in harmony, we look and feel younger, more vibrant and happier.
