What is a Seasonal Change About?
Rtusandhi = climatic transition
Ayurveda describes a two-week period for this gradual transition, but honestly in New England, I find its more like a month of the old back-and-forth.
A spring “cleanse” doesn’t have to include dieting measures but can be used more as a time set aside to observe, and flow with, this transition. To take stock of habits, to recharge, to refresh.
Cravings change, and we notice. Our gravitation towards external activities and relationship to exercise are likely to shift. It’s a natural and beautiful thing to flow with the seasons, and we’ll be doing it together over a ten-day period in the Spring Community Cleanse in a few weeks. Yay Ayurveda for teaching us how!
