Trouble Waking Up in the Morning? 6 Ways to Overcome Inertia
The morning blahs? The typical remedy? A cup of Joe, right? Or better yet, a caffeine timebomb in a can!
But why do they occur? And how can energy science guidance help us?
Betweeen 0600 and 1000 in the morning is a Kapha time This implies a sluggishness, a degree of physiologic inertia that occurs during this time of day Unfortunately this is the time that we are all waking up so this poses a problem
This sluggishness becomes even more accentuated during the Kapha season of winter when it's cold and easier just to stay in bed, just re-setting the alarm four or five times
At times the energy pattern of Vata is provoked and anxiety may occur making it difficult to move out of bed The Pitta energy pattern when provoked may cause aching of muscles and joints leading to enhance the already lethargic state
So what to do? The key is MOVE and below are ways to overcome the physiologic inertia
The secret to getting up at a time when the mindbody is ready to get going is go to bed early
Preferable time for getting up is 5am before the Kapha sluggishness hits
Having a morning routine is helpful to get the mindbody moving
Exercising by 6am further accelerates the movement
Eating little or a small breakfast of fruit lends to lightening the mindbody for the morning
Warm and spicy foods are preferable nutrition during the winter months
I can't overemphasize the need to move even though we don't want to What's going on energetically is reducing this Kapha provocation that's going on That is, the slow/dull, stable/static, cold, heavy, liquid, and oily qualities that predominate during these hours of the day and season

The Biologic Energy Time Clock
The energy patterns of Vata Pitta and Kapha are observed everywhere in Nature We observe Kapha dogs, Vata hummingbirds, Pitta lions These energy patterns are involved also in how we view time
Between 6am and 10am is a Kapha time heavy, cold, slow/dull time; ? heavy breakfast
Between 10am and 2pm is a Pitta time hot,sharp/penetrating time; best for day's big meal
Between 2pm and 6pm is a Vata time cold, light, mobile; good for activity
Between 6pm and 10pm is a Kapha time heavy,cold,slow/dull time; good for winding down
Between 10pm and 2am is a Pitta time hot, sharp/penetrating time; body detox time
Between 2am and 6am is a Vata time cold, light, mobile; emotional detox time
These vibrational frequencies that are bolded are most prominent in Nature's physiology but we mirror them ourselves physiologically as well
Do you notice that you are hungry around noontime and late at night? Do you eat breakfast at times when you are really not hungry? Do you feel sharpest in the afternoon when working on projects?
Tomorrow, understanding and coping with the morning blahs energetically

Saving the Planet Through Nutrition
My friend Jeff Korhan referred me today to George Carlin's routine named Saving the Planet
Carlin makes the point that Mother Earth has survived and will continue to survive despite us! We can't hurt Mom
And a mother supports her young tenaciously, unselfishly serves them, gives them what they need to survive
Always
It's the children that mess it up It's arrogant to think otherwise, says Carlin
What does this have to do with nutrition?
Mother Earth will take care of herself We don't have to worry about her
Mom may just have to say one day that the human species was an interesting experiment that didn't work out very well
We need to worry about ourselves and our own health and stop projecting our own ill health on Mother Earth
And the beginning baby steps are to start eating according to our mindbody makeup, avoiding food incompatabilities, and paying attention to our digestive system's health
Then we will have come a long way toward saving ourselves Not Mother Earth

How To Avoid Winter Blues
SAD (seasonal affective disorders) are common and thrust people from colder climates to move to warmer ones during the winter
Here are some tips to avoid the winter doldrums
Eat according to one's mindbody nutritional formats PV, PK, VK
Avoid food incompatabilties
Use of a churan to improve digestive fire by increasing the spices in your meals
Pay attention to sleep patterns, rising early in the am and going to bed early in order to make getting up in the am(5-6am) possible
It seems that these tips seem repetitive and that's because they are!
Why is this?
Because energy science lifestyle choices consistently work for "all health conditions" no matter what they are
How could this be?
Because the energy science dictums are based on the fact that health begins to occur for us when we put ourselves into the rythms of Nature
It's just that simple Since we are part of Nature, expressions of Nature, when we become one with Nature, we evolve the healing of our own physiologies
This works for nutrition and our rest patterns

Happy Thanksgiving From Energy Science Nutrition
A day of gratitude and celebration with family and friends
To remind us of all that we can be grateful for
For when we become grateful we lose sight of all our problems, failures, and incompletes
Then we can get in touch with what is really important in our lives
And forget our tiny selves
And remember our greatness
That's what gratitude does Beyond the food nutrition
We nourish ourselves and all those around us
Now that's real nutrition
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
