May Greetings everyone! I'm dropping in with the monthly overview & a warm welcoming message to our newest members @Valerie K, @Mina Milosavljević, @Lauren Segalla & @Lindsey Crean For our newest members: I invite you to comment on this post to introduce yourself - feel free to share where you're from & where you are in terms of pregnancy, birth, postpartum or birth care provider! Keep an eye on your personal inbox, as myself or Victoria will be messaging you to personally welcome you in as well 💞 Last month, I included some of the Ayurvedic energetics of Aprils season change. May has its own subtle shifts. May is a transitional period where the Earth (and our bodies!) are shifting from ‘Kapha’ (Earth/Water) towards more ‘Pitta’ energies (Fire/Water) Some seasonal support you could incorporate: - Focus on light, bitter, astringent foods. - Add herbs like hibiscus, coriander, fennel, aloe, guduchi and mint. - Dry brushing is fantastic! Oil massages can be done with coconut oil. - Nature Connections: first light in the morning & walks in the evening with your loved ones to regulate your circadian rhythm (this is applicable all year around!) - Watch for ‘heated’ emotions - often a ‘spring fever’ can erupt when there is need for emotional balance - If you are pregnant, be mindful of the ‘detoxification’ fads that ‘spring’ up this time of year. If you decide to do any detoxes, start low & slow - one thing at a time. Luminous Births May Events: 🌺Your Monthly Feature Class will be posted on May 8th - so keep an eye out for that!
