Seasonal Self-Care Rituals
Eat, Breathe, Move, and Sleep Better—According to Your Dosha
Table of Contents
About The Book
According to the ancient texts of Ayurveda, “All diseases begin at the junctions of the seasons.” When we push against the essence of each season—staying up late in the winter, eating sweet, heavy foods in the spring, or neglecting our skin in the summer—we fall out of sync with nature and optimal health.
Chopra-certified teacher Susan Weis-Bohlen guides readers through simple yet profoundly effective, remedies and rituals—including food & drink, meditation, yoga, essential oils, chakra alignment, mantra, and breath work—to support your ideal body weight, increased focus and mental clarity, a healthier microbiome, improved stamina, better sleep, and emotional wellness.
Seasonal Self-Care Rituals is an essential guide to year-round health.
