Tips for healthy living:
Take hot baths. According to the system of Ayurveda, taking a hot bath is one of the most relaxing things we can do to calm our nervous system. I love taking baths and often put lavender oil in my bath water, light a couple of candles, close my eyes, and simply let go. Also, going to one of Northern California's many natural hot springs is a magical way to experience the healing and renewing effects of water.
Let thy food be thy medicine. I recently watched the movie, "Forks over Knives" which was a very powerful documentary about how our food choices directly affect our health. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning how to eat healthy along with understanding how to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, weight gain, and other ailments. You can watch the movie instantly on Netflix.
Be grateful for all that you have in your life and stop kvetching. Our attitude, without question, affects our mind state, which affects our health. When we've gotten into a complaining mode, my husband Jeffrey and I will make a pact to not complain about anything to each other and if we do, we call each other on it. It's amazing how that shifts our attention to everything that we have in our lives that is good and how blessed we are. It's worth giving it a try. :-)
To your radiant health!
Namaste,
Arella
