Heart-Opening Winter Elixir

Blog Featured Image (1200 × 628 px)

The holidays can be a season of both feelings of connection and grief. We’ve created this special Shakti School heart opening elixir featuring skullcap, damiana and rose to get you through the waves of beauty, bliss, and pain.⁣
⁣
🌹 Skullcap: Think soothing, stress relief, and relaxation - this nervine is an emotional balance supporter and restores the functioning of the nervous system.⁣
⁣
🌹 Damiana: This aphrodisiac helper pairs well with skullcap for relaxation while also giving a little boost to mood and digestion.⁣
⁣
🌹 Rose: Associated with the heart chakra, rose is said to help heal a broken heart and enhance feelings of self-love and emotional balance.⁣
⁣
Here’s how to make it:⁣

~ 1/4 cup dried skullcap⁣
~ ¼ cup dried damiana⁣
~ 1/4 cup dried rose petal⁣
~ A few cinnamon sticks⁣
~ 1 T gently crushed cardamom pods⁣
~ 1 T gently crushed star anise⁣
~ 1 T gently crushed cloves⁣
~ an orange peel⁣
~ 1/2 c honey⁣
~ Brandy to cover ⁣
⁣
Add all ingredients to a mason jar. Cover completely with brandy (push down everything in the jar so that it’s below the liquid). Place a piece of parchment paper between the lid and the jar to prevent any transfer from the lid or vice versa. Shake daily, storing in a cool place for about a month.⁣
⁣
Enjoy in small servings as a healing tonic for your heart ❤️

What if you didn't need to push harder, do more, o What if you didn't need to push harder, do more, or become some shinier version of yourself to feel well? 🌸

What if your body simply needed the right conditions to thrive?

Ayurveda offers a softer, wiser approach to healing. One that honors your hormones, nervous system, intuition and natural rhythms.

In her most recent live class, Katie dives into the core principles of Feminine-Form Ayurveda, exploring the elements, doshas and how this ancient wisdom can help us cultivate more self-compassion, rest, radiance and vitality.

The thing about Mama Nature is that she's always s The thing about Mama Nature is that she's always shifting, she’s always changing—she’s chaotic even. Yet within this chaos, there's order. ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda can be defined as the understanding of ordered chaos. It’s this beautiful paradox that reality IS chaotic.⁠
⁠
We cannot control nature. But we CAN go to bed and get eight hours of sleep, get up in the morning, take care of my morning daily routine, cook healthy food for ourselves and try to hang out with people that genuinely fill up our cup. ⁠
⁠
We can do all those things, and we can predict that we will feel a lot better than if we don't do those things. ⁠
⁠
This is the essence of Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
It's not about controlling life, but cultivating the daily rhythms that help you meet it with greater presence and grace.⁠
⁠
If you feel a tug to return to the rhythms of our grandmothers’ and learn how to live in alignment with both your body AND your spirit, we’d love to welcome you into our year-long Divine Feminine Ayurveda certification.⁠
