Dear Subscriber First Name, As we welcome February, I am feeling all the joys that this time of year brings. (YES, joy!). Let me explain… The choice to live here in Maine where we experience allll the seasons, this time of year can often feel empty and heavy, as we leave the Holiday season and sit with the returning Light in this “in-between” space. I know that I start to feel the desire to feel the warmth of the Sun and I start dreaming of a trip to someplace warm! SO, how do I access the Joy I just referenced?? Well, it’s taken me many years to cultivate that ability. My Ayurveda practices and understanding of Yoga have led me to feel the Joy that is inherent within. I feel such relief in the Ayurvedic understanding that this is STILL the Winter season, which is a time of rest, and hibernating! That knowledge feels soooo right as I observe nature around me. We are not meant to be rushing around. Much like the seeds that remain “dormant” in the soil under the blanket of snow, we are also called to rest. Our “germination” time is coming! Much like the definition of germination which is “the process by which a plant grows from a seed to a seedling,” it is our time to ruminate about what seeds we would like to water for growth this year! I find Joy in that process and grace in the knowledge that I am not needing to necessarily implement action yet. That time will come with the expansive energy of Spring!! To support YOU on your path of Joy and wellness, I have many offerings below in Yoga, Massage, and Ayurveda. I am also offering my two week Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse again this year!! I will send an email later this month with all the specifics. For now, mark your calendars for March 24th through April 6th! I had such a great experience last year with our great group of cleanse attendees! This is a cleanse that I, myself, participate in every Spring as a reset for my digestion, mental health, and to clear the heaviness of Winter and invite in the abundant energy of Spring. I do hope you will consider joining me! Reach out to determine if this is appropriate for you!! Wishing you much Joy in this Late Winter Season, Kalyani Nicole
