Your Alignment with Waning Moon and Rising Sun

In Rejuvenation, our Sun-Moon Cycle designates the beginning of a waning moon to the rising sun of the early morning. In the practice of Ayurveda, we recommend aligning our day’s activities with the rhythms of nature - this means waking near the first sunlight at the horizon. If possible, try to wake up naturally without the jarring of a loud alarm clock. This is easier to accomplish when you've completed your Calm to Rest therapy - Step 5 - the night before, then have gone to bed according to your natural internal clock that guides us in our optimal day to night routines.

Early Morning Rejuvenation

For Step 1 - REJUVENATION is the Essential Mind-Body Balancer. Again, guided by your optimum Ayurvedic Routine - also known as your Dosha clock, you will have been in bed, and perhaps applied the powerful Valerian aromatherapy and Magnesium touch-therapy of Step 5. You most likely will have slept very deeply - and now, in the early morning both your mind and body need an infusion of oxygen, hydration and nourishment - which you will provide for you through self-application while reconnecting with your spiritual center.

Aroma of Cardamom for the Mind

For the aromatherapy to calm the mind, we use the essential oil of Cardamom as our Ayurvedic aroma for Rejuvenation - Cardamom stimulates the heart by opening and soothing the flow of air and energy. It also activates the mind from sleepiness by expanding clarity.

Touch of Ginseng for the Body

For the touch-therapy to nourish the body, we use the extract of Ginseng as our primary Ayurvedic herbal rub for Rejuvenation - Ginseng provides enhancement of both energy and vitality by neutralizing the damaging and degenerative effects of stress

TIME as Your Teacher of Rejuvenation

Our Step Designator - is intended to enhance your Relationship with TIME - to help you gain the extra 0:90 seconds per step for an eventual daily total of 7 1/2 minutes for You to provide for your needs - For early morning Rejuvenation, give yourself a head start by waking up 3 minutes earlier for alone time in the bathroom, or closet, to ensure that you've addressed your needs in solitude, first, before you go face the world.

Affirmation of Your Beneficial Light

We list the Vital Ingredient in our Aroma-Touch Therapy for REJUVENATION as the Love of Self based on the Ayurvedic wisdom that how well you treat yourself is directly related to how well you are treated by others. This wisdom is the basis for our Step 1 Affirmation, "I Rejuvenate myself first upon rising; then my Light will resonate brighter to all I love." Saying this affirmation to yourself supports your smooth transformation from a prolonged rest to a productive day in spiritual alignment.

Rejuvenating Application by Self-Empowering Abhyanga

Let's Walk Through This Together as we actually apply OUR COMMITMENT to mind-body harmony that makes Empowered Wellness all our Destinies - Place a quarter-sized dab of Rejuvenation on the inside of your wrist and hold it together lightly with the inside of your other wrist. Now, Gently repeat after me "I Rejuvenate myself first upon rising, then my Light will resonate brighter to all I Love"

While silently holding this affirmation in your forethought, begin to circle the inside of your wrists together then open your wrists like a book to deeply inhale the aroma of Cardamom and focus your mind’s eye on the flow of air and energy to your heart. Observe when you start to feel the Ginseng in your body where your energy levels begin to rise - perhaps chills on your shoulders or tingles along the sides of your torso - Next, feel the supporting sequence of St. John’s Wort for mood elevation and reducing anxiety, then Brahmi to enhance concentration and heal wounds both physical and emotional and then Ginkgo for improved memory by increased circulation.

With continued focus on the flow of your breath, follow my self-massage process - called Abhyanga in the Sanskrit language of Ayurveda - pivot the wrists so your fingers gently stroke the opposite forearm - then pull your hands together and move both to massage your neck and behind your ears - enjoying the stimulation from your own skin's pharmacy - as you increase alertness - until the Rejuvenation formula absorbs.
