When we observe nature, we see how life harmonizes with the seasons. Isn’t it interesting how a squirrel knows what foods to store for winter, and your dog knows how to keep cool in summer. What we have done – for the most part is ignored the change of seasons. Just changing our clothes from one season to the next is not enough. Its is also important to look at what happens as we transition in between the seasons. If you are feeling out of sorts, a little more fatigued, have a cold, or allergies, its due to the change of seasons. Illness is much more likely to occur at the junctions of the seasons, when Vata is aggravated. Take a look at why you may be feeling out of sorts – it’s the transition between seasons.

Let me share with you my Ayurvedically balanced Christmas Dinner Menu, in case you are still looking for ideas. Feel free to print out this menu –I have attached links below to all the recipes.
With Thanksgiving behind us but Christmas close in sight, it’s very easy for us to slip into the overeating mindset. The voice in the back of our heads reminds us we are probably full after the first plate, and may not really want dessert, but with all the delicious food in front of us and spirits lifted, we tell ourselves “I’ll just have one more slice”. In Ayurveda, this is known as Prajnaparadha which means ‘crimes against wisdom’ or ‘offence of the intellect’. We know something is not the best choice for us, but we do it anyways. These are the actions that lead us to an imbalance of the doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Of course enjoying food is an essential part of the holidays and we all let our hair down every now and then, but overeating can lead to a few undesirable after effects.
