Spring newsletter 2013

 

The Vernal Equinox marks the time of year of new growth and ever increasing daylight. For centuries, it has been acknowledged that the expansive energy of early Spring is the ideal time to work on bodily detoxification. While many of us will utilize this time to create internal detoxification programmes, it is also important to focus on giving ones living space a spring clean as well.

Here are some tips for spring cleaning both inside and out:

 

1) Drink warm water with the juice of one half lemon first thing in the morning. This will help the liver to release toxins.

2) Dry skin brush before showering. Starting from the feet, brush on the outside of the legs in large sweeping motions, move up towards the heart, raising both arms up and continuing to brush each arm on the outside down towards the body. This will remove surface toxins on the skin and also stimulate the lymph flow.

3) Only use all natural earth-friendly cleaning products. Standard household cleansers contain various toxic chemical compounds that are dangerous for both humans and household pets. Checkout natural ranges at local healthfood shops or use old fashioned cleansing products such as; vinegar, baking soda and lemons for kitchens, bathrooms and windows.

4) Clutter clear your home. Aim to reduce the amount of stuff that we all tend to sentimentally hoard like; old magazines, cards, kitchenware and old clothes. Pass on to others, or give to charity and feel the lightness of being that follows. Space clearing creates a sense of order and calm in our often all too busy lives.

5) Reduce the electromagnetic pollution (electro-smog) in your home. Cell phones, computers and TV’s are known to emit rogue frequencies that disrupt our bodies own natural electromagnetic field. Make your home a Wi-Fi free zone and feel the difference!
