Are you ready for JUNE and ALL that it brings?
With the arrival of June and the Summer Solstice, we step into Pitta season—a time dominated by the elements of Fire and Water. During this period, heat manifests externally in nature and internally within our bodies.
June is also a month of profound pivoting:
- The sun shifts: The sun pauses at its highest point on its axis and begins its slow journey back toward the Southern Hemisphere.
- Our routines change: Parents and students pivot as the school year ends and transition to the next grade.
- Our health shifts: Rising temperatures can easily aggravate chronic health conditions.
This month also launches many new paths, whether they are journeys of the heart, healing transformations, or summer travel plans. With so much shifting at once, it is easy to feel out of balance.
Here at Open Flow Medical Massage, Ayurvedic principles & treatments take center stage to help you navigate this busy month with care by following these 7 steps to stay cool, energized, and balanced.
