You know that feeling that you have when you are full? Sounds nice, but in reality it isn’t. Especially when you’ve been eating to fullness for consecutive days. And then when you go to yoga and try to move and bend your body. Then it really doesn’t feel good.
You see, I’ve been feeling like my diet isn’t quite right the last few days. So I’ve been trying to eat foods that have been satisfying me these past two months, but they feel too heavy, and still not satisfying. I realized with the changing weather I needed to head to the library to finally pick up my John Douillard book. (This book is ok thus far, but does anyone have a better Ayurveda book? I feel like it is too rudimentary for me.) Anyway, I started reading last night so that I could figure out what is going on in the spring for my vata (pitta) diet.
What I’ve figured out thus far: Spring is kapha time. Heavy and wet. More mucus so I should stay away from dairy oilds (I think). I need to eat bitter foods, less oils and fats… (Those should have been stored up from the winter foods.) So, I need to back off the fats, oils, nuts, avocado, coconut and eat more the bitter and pungent leafy greens. This should change the makeup of my morning smoothie a bit.
Warmer winds and rain,
sleep problems
Diet might need a change.
Time to move
with Mother Earth.
What is next -
Look inside
Find the truth
Not the blame.
