The inner chaos gremlin? She may not always have the best delivery, but she puts us back in touch with our instincts and our fire. (She just needs to work in close collaboration with our more adult, wise, heart-centered Self to be truly effective 😉🔥.)

                                                  Summer makes us want to worship the sun – and it Summer makes us want to worship the sun – and it makes sense. We like feeling warm, golden and satisfied. The sun is literally life-giving! 🌞 In addition to ruling our agni (i.e. our inner fire, also known as our metabolism) the sun gives us ENERGY: ambition, passion, clarity and that unmistakable glow. Of course we want to bask in it!⁠
⁠
The key to basking in summer’s warm glow is to take care so that we don’t end up overheated, fire-engine red and hungover.⁠
⁠
To balancing the fire element in summer, aim to:⁠
⁠
🏋🏽‍♀️ Avoid intense exercise during peak sun (10am-2pm)⁠
⁠
🧘🏼‍♀️ Cool down any hot, fiery intensity with slower-moving exercise and breathing techniques⁠
⁠
😴 Sleep on your right side to cool the nervous system⁠
⁠
🕶️ Slowly acclimate to spending time in the sun and avoid peak UV exposure; get morning or late afternoon sun when instead (sunrise and sunset are ideal times to soak in the light!)⁠
⁠
Are you ready to harmonize your routines, nutrition, herbs and spiritual practices with nature’s rhythms, and support other women in doing the same?⁠
