Blossom in epic expression! Spring is a time of celebration as we emerge from the darkness and into the light. A full moon rises and we draw upon its energies to release what no longer serves our highest potential and focus on the new and vibrant within us. It’s the perfect time to ‘spring clean’ your self-care program including nutrition, exercise, relaxation and spiritual practices. As we shine with possibilities, we embrace the changes of this inspiring season.
10 Mindful Ways to Enjoy Spring

• Improve your nutrition and eat fresh, local and organic foods
• Adjust your sleep schedule to increase your energy levels
• Move mindfully – walk, bike, swim, yoga, dance
• Spend time in nature, absorb its beauty, and notice how its abundance is spread before you
• Breathe deeply and notice the smells of spring
• Have a massage and experience deep relaxation
• Meditate daily from 5-15 minutes
• Take time to notice the changes happening around you
• Explore and take day-trips or go on a retreat!
• Smile and be grateful for all the blessings in your life

Consider kick-starting your commitment to “spring cleaning” and nourish your body and spirit at a day-long retreat. Did you know that San Diego county has its very own organic lavender farm?
