Brains!

I was talking to RF about Ayurveda and the seasons. Kapha is like the Vegan season, Summer is the Vegetarian season and Vata should be the carnivore season. However, let me make it clear that even within the seasons you will have imbalances of all three doshas. You may be eating a different, seasonal diet, but for some folks they might have to prepare their meals vata style - warm and brothy, never raw etc. Although here in the south were going from spring to summer right now, my vata is still outta whack so pitta is rising and I'm extremely overheated. I have a cold sore outbreak and my acne although much more calm than other times in my life was particularly bad this past cycle. Kapha is the season to slack off, and I admittedly have been. If I had cleansed earlier I may have curbed a lot of these symptoms. Last night I slept with a cold pack on my head, this morning I took a luke warm shower. Today at work I'll probably wrap a wet peppermint infused wash cloth around my neck. Although I do have AC in the daewoo it is no where near powerful and you can tell how much strain it puts on the little crappy engine, so I generally roast when I'm in the car. This will spoil my lunch runs and I'll end up bringing mine in. And hey I'm not complaining about that, I needed something to make me do it!
