Not everything needs to be rituals, practices and techniques. Sometimes you just need to lay down, get comfy blanket, snacks and your favourite tv show✨

Life lately looks like enjoying the autumn sun, learning and practicing for Yoga Teacher Training, long walks in orange autumn foliage and connecting to earth and grounding practices 🍂

Welcome to the cozy season practices series ✨

One of my first grounding practice is walk in the woods, luckily I have one 2 minutes from my home. Every time it rains I really don’t want to go, but at the end I always feel better after forest walk, even if I’m covered in mud- head to toe 😵‍💫

This is what science says:

Lowers cortisol, adrenaline, and dopamine to calm the nervous system.
Triggers “optic flow” via moving scenery to quiet threat-detection circuits.
Reduces brain activity linked to rumination and mental illness.
Normalizes diurnal cortisol rhythms to match natural day-night cycles.
Boosts immune response through inhaled phytoncides (airborne antimicrobial compounds released by trees), which increase natural killer (NK) white blood cell activity for up to 30 days.
Reduces blood pressure and lowers the heart rate by inducing deep, systemic relaxation.

I mean even if non of this is true, I feel better after the forest, and I would recommend you to go for 15-20 minutes minimum for some greenery, a park, forest, hug a tree in your garden…

This is amazing chemical and bad sugar free late 🍂

Cozy season aka Autumn and Early winter are perfect for this indulgent latte which will help you to boost immunity due to its spices and help you to ground.

Wash and chop pumpkin- put it on 180C on fan oven or level 2 for grill and bake for 25-30 min. Smaller chunks will bake sooner.

While your pumpkin is in the oven mix spices- all in powder form:
Cinnamon
Ginger
Clove
Allspice
Nutmeg
Vanilla

You can mix bigger batch and save for later, if you are doing for just one cup use pinch of each spice.

Put your baked pumpkin in high speed blender until you get a smooth purée.

Assemble pumpkin, spices in a cooking pot and add maple syrup or honey.

Add two spoons of mixture into your favourite milk 🍂
Enjoy warming feeling of this autumnal cozy drink while still respecting Ayurvedic principles ✨

There is something special in chill autumn morning air ✨

Adding my favourite scents to that crisp morning air does something for me. It gives me instant nervous system relaxation and prepares me for the day ahead.

How I do this small ritual?

First, I open all the windows and balcony doors to let fresh crisp air inside, I add distilled water into my diffuser and add 5 drops each my favourite diffuser blends from Young Living, this morning I chose Citrus Fresh which is a mix of Citruses and Thieves which is a mix of Cinnamon, Clove and Rosemary which helps to support my immunity.
I usually light an incense which helps me get into a meditative state, followed with a 5-10 minute meditation.

Repeating that every morning helps me regulate my nervous system✨

Sometimes you just need a bit of inspiration to get yourself into the “cozy season”…

How does the cozy season influences our immunity? Should we do the same style of yoga as we did in summer time?

How can I best support my food choices this autumn? All of that and much more can be found in free Ayurvedic Autumn guide 🍂

I moved quite a lot in my life…
Croatia, Ireland, Denmark and now going to Belgium. Many people ask me how do I manage???

Well… I would say that my nervous system is well prepared 😂 I think for me this waiting to start with the move is worse than actual move and discovering new country.

One think I know for sure is that if you are ok with yourself and if you take this chapter in life as go with the flow, you will be Well 😁

I tend to look forward to discovering a new culture, health food brands, architecture and forests where I can walk my dogs.
Yes I became attached to much things, places and rituals in Denmark, but the only constant in life is change…
So here we go ✨

Comment below, do you think it’s hard to move countries? Did you move countries and left everything behind?

This limbo in between- half packed, living out of boxes, not knowing when will the next steps happen.
After some time in frustration… you just need to give up and go with the flow… ✨🤷🏽‍♀️
