This weekend, I’m excited to be presenting the Spring Equinox Celebration & Detox Flow. You can read about this on my blog at this link, https://www.debbimurphy.com/spring-equinox/

All month, I’ve been  presenting Ayurvedic/Mother Nature Tips for Spring Detox  and here are this third week’s. 

Cultivate Intentionality with Meditation

In Ayurveda, every morning is consideredthe sprintime of each day, a time to consider planting new seeds or intentions for the day. Begin your practice by settling in and then choose a word that captures the intention of what you’d like to cultivate this day. State the intention and repeat the words while you breathe in and out.

Cultivate Creativity

Midday practice: Spend Time Outside to Inspire Your Creativity. Better than caffeine in the late afternoon, try a walk outside, bathing in the sunlight and infusing yourself with vitamin D to lift your spirits.Afternoons aren’t always the easiest time of the day to focus on problem solving, so why not surrender to what does feel easy to do, being creative. Space is one of the five essential elements in Ayurveda and is a precursor to creativity. Being in the flow with Nature lets our senses have the opportunity to renew themselves.

On this yoga adventure, you’ll feel the hum of city life in Kandy and Colombo, smell (and taste!) the curry, hike, immerse, dine with locals, spy for leopards and sink your toes into the ocean. You’ll experience Buddhism, ancient and contemporary, and admire the Dutch and British colonial architecture of the past. You’ll ride the rails and wander the tea plantations. Sri Lankan history and culture are topped only by its natural beauty—from verdant forests to diverse mangroves, coral reefs and vast nature reserves. On this yoga retreat in Sri Lanka, you’ll learn why this island is called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Click here to learn more.
