Summer Nurturing

Simple ways to nurture yourself in during Summer to keep you cool, calm + in flow. 🌊

Morning Cooling Rituals

Begin your day gently.

꩜ Wake early (before 6am) to enjoy the calmest part of the day before the heat rises.

꩜ Splash cool rose or cucumber-infused water on your face; follow with a light application of coconut oil on your skin to protect + calm it.

꩜ Light a soft, natural incense such as sandalwood or jasmine to invite peaceful energy into your space.

꩜ Keep your morning light ~ a short meditation, gentle stretches + slow breathing set the tone for a calm day in flow.

Align Your Rhythm with Nature

Simplify and live seasonally.

꩜ Spend early mornings or late afternoons outdoors, avoiding the harsh midday sun.

꩜ Embrace cool tones in your décor ~ whites, soft greens + sky blues invite serenity.

꩜ Keep the energy in your home spacious + unhurried ~ declutter regularly to allow prana (life force) to flow freely.

꩜ Honour rest: go to bed before 10 pm to stay aligned with nature’s cooling night energy.

Create a Cooling Home Atmosphere

Your home can help balance heat if it feels serene + uncluttered.

꩜ Use natural fibres (cotton, linen) for bedding + curtains to allow airflow.

꩜ Add plants like aloe vera, peace lily, or ferns to purify + cool the air.

꩜ Diffuse essential oils ~ rose, sandalwood, vetiver, mint, or lavender ~ to calm + soothe.

꩜ Keep lighting soft in the evenings; use candles or warm-toned lamps instead of harsh overhead lights.

Evening Wind-Down Ritual

As the day’s heat fades, the body + mind crave soothing rhythms.

꩜ Take a cool shower or bath before sunset. Add rosewater or a few drops of sandalwood oil for an aromatic calm.

꩜ Massage your feet with coconut or ghee ~ this grounds the energy + promotes restful sleep.

꩜ Dim the lights, play soft instrumental or nature sounds + slow your breathing.

꩜ Avoid screens or intense activity before bed; instead, journal or read something uplifting.
