Unfortunately, many humans missed out on the integration of this daily ritual. Other living beings in nature got the memo. They are being pampered daily, and so they deserve to be.
Fortunately, due to the rise of Ayurveda in the west, self-massage is now beginning to return to our innate daily regimen. Full article here.

It encompasses our entire world – nature, the body, mind and spirit. Ayurveda is how to live your life in harmony with nature, with the cycles of nature. Leaves turn red then fall off trees, tides rise and fall with the moon, and whales migrate. Everything in nature is tied to these cycles, and so are we. Read the full article.
