Spring Has Sprung
Spring has sprung here in Phoenix. We have had a good amount of rain. The days are warming up filled with lots of buds and greens sprouting from the earth.
Welcome to February
We are continuing our exploration of the health indicators that our mind and body provide to give us insight to the state of our wellbeing.
Sweet Slumber
Sleep is critical to our wellbeing. According to Ayurveda it is a keystone to our health. Sound and restful is one of the three pillars of health, the other two being food and sex. When our sleep is out of whack, it bleeds into every other area of our life. The consequences may be both short and long term. We become short tempered, anxious, distracted, depressed and eventually our health will decline. This leads to a host of problems including obesity, heart problems, diabetes and even an early death. When our sleep is balanced, along with the other two pillars, we are steady, stable, clear headed and have plenty of energy to live our dharma, or our life’s mission.
