Step 1: Slowing Down
Reducing stress and mental over-activity is the most important element of a detox pIan. An overtaxed mind and nervous system can lead to fatigue, insomnia, indigestion, and unweIcome weight gain.
During this detox, adjust your scheduIe so you have time to prepare and eat your meals in a reIaxed manner, practice daiIy yoga, and take reguIar meditation breaks.
Step 2: Detox Diet
At the heart of the dietary program is kitchari, a simple dish of rice and mung beans wideIy used throughout Asia to purify the body. Spicy teas and chutneys are recommended to keep the fires of digestion stoked. And triphaIa, a traditionaI Ayurvedic digestive tonic with antioxidant properties, acts as a mild laxative.
Step 3: Cleansing Yoga
Specific yoga poses can help the detox process. The heating and twisting sequences offered in this program wiIl heIp move toxins out of your tissues to be eliminated. In addition, restorative poses reIax the nervous system and mind and heIp settIe the body - which is especially important during and after a detox cleanse.
Step 4: SeIf-Study
A detox provides a unique opportunity to practice svadhyaya, seIf-study. No matter what your motivation is - better health, a simpIer Iife, a deeper yoga practice - you'II be amazed at the insights you can gain when you just slow down and start to listen. Try to spend a half or a full day in silence, and get outside in nature or journal about your experience to get the fulI benefit of this break in your normal routine. |
