Ready for the holiday season to begin? Treat yourself into a grounded vacation with these nurturing tips.

What’s the first thing you do when arriving at your holiday destination? Do you dump your bags on the bed and head straight for the beach? Have you read through all the blogs with “best secret beaches” and “favorite local restaurants” beforehand?

Summer is the ultimate season to enjoy all that mother earth has to offer; the warming sun, the cooling sea, wild nature, being outdoors, festivals, late-night dinners, gatherings with friends and loved-ones. However, Summer is also the ultimate moment to get out of balance. With the sun peaking high, the energy strongly directed outward, short nights and so much to see, do, and experience.

Nature is cheaper than therapy. Ayurveda recommends spending time in nature each day, as it allows you to experience healing, soothing energy. Breathe in deeply, let go, observe your natural state of being. Allow yourself to simply be, feel, merge with your surroundings.
