Hi everyone!!

Incredibly excited and honoured to share that I will be doing a brief talk on Ayurveda at the Ibiza Spirit Festival.

My talk is @ 12:30 > 12:50 and I will be covering Ayurveda Wellness. It will be a brief intro to Ayurveda – the sister science of Yoga and the three unique mind-body types, so you will get an insight into which one you are – your true nature!
I will also be sharing invaluable self-care tools and practices for creating more balance, harmony and flow in your life.

I'll be around later to answer any questions you may have.

Ibiza Spirit Festival - 28th April – all profits go to local charities

Opening Ceremony at 11:30

I hope as many of you can make it as possible as it really is a truly amazing and inspiring day for everyone.

Also available for workshops and retreats, PM if interested :)

Many Thanks 🙏🙏xx

IBIZA SPIRIT FESTIVAL 🦋

Michelle Kilgour brings the wisdom of Ayurveda to the Ibiza Spirit Festival. This ancient system of health and healing offers profound wisdom on how to achieve and maintain mind-body balance. As the sister science of Yoga, Ayurveda teaches us that when we align with nature, our true well-being blossoms.
In her talk Michelle will show you how to achieve this through holistic lifestyle adjustments that include: self care, mindfulness, supportive foods and natural remedies.

GOOD MORNING IBIZA!! ☀️☀️🌴🌴☀️🌴🌴❤️❤️
And a very Happy Sunday!!

Feeling truly blessed to be waking up to another day of soul-nourishing endless blue skies ! ❤️❤️😘😘

After a week of some rain and high winds, it's finally calmed and going to be a pretty hot one today! 👌🏻👍🏻😍❤️☀️☀️

How are you spending your Sunday ??

Ahhh look what I stumbled upon this morning at one of the organic stores here in Ibiza.
RAINBOW Carrots!! 😍😍❤️❤️😘😘🌈🌈💚💚💜💜💛💛
Way too excited about using these beauties in some Ayurvedic cooking! Wondering how they are going to cook and taste but I am 100% up for the challenge!! Im definitely thinking purple carrot cake, if all works out!! 😜😜 Nature never fails to amaze me with her incredible colours! ❤️ would love to Know if you've tried rainbow carrots ?? Xx

Happy Spring and 1st of April everyone!! I personally love this time of year!! As the earth starts to wake up Again, This is the time to emerge from the cocoon of winter and reawaken, renew and let life blossom !! 🌸🌸❤️🌺🌺💐💐🌼 Who's ready to shed the old and welcome the new ?? # # #

When the temperature drops and grey clouds loom over Ibiza, it can only mean one thing!! .......
Keeping cosy with Endless cups of warming Chai tea to see us through!! .
Since "opposites balance" in Ayurveda, hot drinks Like chai are the perfect antidote to cooler or dull/rainy days!! 👌🏻👌🏻❤️😍xx

What's your go to for keeping warm on cold, dull days?

state of mind ❤️❤️💗💗☀️☀️🌴🌴🌴😘😘😍😍
Counting my blessings to be soaking in THIS view and dose of healing energy this beautiful Sunday afternoon 💗☀️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻xx🌸🌸
How are you nourishing yourself this weekend ??

GOOD MORNING, BEAUTIES!! 🌸🌸❤️☀️☀️😍😍😍 These gorgeous white anemones are springing up in a friends garden here in Ibiza so I had to capture this early spring beauty!!
Take a moment to bask in the beauty that surrounds you today!! Wishing you a magical Friday!! # # #

Amazing sunset skies over the hills in Rocca Llisa this evening!! ❤️😍❤️🌴🌴

GOOD MORNING, IBIZA!! ☀️☀️☀️🌴🌴❤️❤️ Starting the morning off right with a hot lime and ginger water!
As far as morning rituals go, there is one essential practise that is incredibly simple yet effective (and one of the first things I always tell my clients about )
First thing upon waking, simply squeeze half a fresh lime or lemon into a cup of hot water (add a slice of ginger in if you wish) and drink!!
Incase you didn't already know, some of the pay off's of this ancient Ayurvedic ritual includes improved hydration, digestion & elimination, immunity, complexion, altertness and more!

Just to note;; that energetically, lemons have a "heating" effect on the body while limes have a "cooling" effect, because of this, if your more of a "pitta/fire" body type or "imbalance" with inflammation & heating issues like heartburn/ reflux especially, then cooling limes may be a better choice for you! ......
If you dont already have this healing tonic in your morning routine, I highly encourage you to give it it ago and see the benefits for yourself!! 👌🏻👍🏻🌸🌸❤️👌🏻👌🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Wishing you a Happy and balanced !! Xx
☀️

Soul warming root veg stew with all the herbs is what's for dinner!! 👌🏻👍🏻😍❤️ I used the other half of the beautiful local organic squash from yesterday and added carrots and potatoes , added some ground turmeric, fresh rosemary, sage and a few dried curry leaves , threw in a few veggie stock cubes in a BIG pot and let it cook on low for a few hours until it's all tender and delicious!! 👌🏻😍😍😘😘👅👅
Enjoyed this with a side of warmed spelt flat bread topped with lots of melted butter!!😍😍
Simple yet comforting and SO much flavour!!! 👌🏻👍🏻❤️❤️ xx

What's warming you up today ??

MORNING MEDITATIONS with my little fluff nugget are my favourite!! 😘😍❤️😉 especially keeping cosy while we do!! This is what most of my early mornings look like and would honestly not have it any other way!! 😘😘 Incredibly lucky to have the morning sun light coming through the window too, on most mornings here in Ibiza, to make it that much even soul-nourishing! 😘❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
So much gratitude for another day in Ibiza and getting to bask in the morning light!! ❤️😘🙏🏻
Wishing you a beautiful xx

Winter Squash, I love you!!!❤️😍😍
Hacking into this incredible local winter squash from one of the organic veg shops here in beautiful Ibiza.
Look at that colour though!!! Just cannot get enough!
This vibrant beauty will be going into a soul-warming veg casserole for dinner tonight! Mmm mmmm!!!
Have you noticed how Nature provides exactly what we need, at the times we need them the most ?? We just need to listen and tap into her seasonal bounty.

Who else is a winter squash fan ?
Hope your having a gorgeous Tuesday xx

Happy Day of Love everyone!!❤️❤️

Just lovingly reminding you to fall in love with taking care of yourself EVERY DAY, (as well as this Valentines day, of course!!)

On that note, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite and most essential self-care rituals which I would not be without!!

I find that having some kind of devoted space or focal point in my home which contains simple, beautiful things that feel special or sacred to me - makes me I feel like I am stepping into my own "personal sanctuary", every time.
This really helps and supports me in grounding, relaxation, meditation, or whenever I just need an extra lift.
It doesn't have to be a luxurious alter, either, if that doesn't feel right to you.
Some fresh flowers, a candle + a piece of my favourite Sandalwood or jasmine incense is guaranteed to help bring me back to my center.

I would love to know how you are practicing self-care this valentines day ?

Sending extra love and sushine from Ibiza, to you all !!❤️❤️🙏🙏

A "SATTVIC" state of mind ... Mornings for me look a lot like this .. Rarely do I go a day without having some interrupted "me time" to go within.
Before I leap into action (yes that's right! (no phones or computer ) I work on cultivating "Sattva" in the mind. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For me that looks like, a 15-20 minute meditation practise, some pranayama, morning mantras and prayers. ••••
"Sattva" can quite simply be interrupted as calmness, bliss and purity of consciousness - our true state of being .
Ayurveda explains that we must try to cultivate Sattva in our everyday lives - for healthy, harmonious and balanced body and minds! ••••
P.s Forever in love with these Beeautiful mala beads made out of pure sandalwood🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍❤️
Was lucky enough to have found these on a last trip to South India, a few years ago .
•••
Do you have some kind of a calming "sattvic" morning practise ? Let me know below as i would love to know xx

Wishing you all a wonderful week # # #
