🥕 As the air becomes cooler and drier, support 🥕 As the air becomes cooler and drier, support your agni with foods that are easier to digest and grounding for vata. Favor foods like:⁠
⁠
• Warm soups and stews⁠
• Kitchari⁠
• Cooked vegetables⁠
• Root vegetables⁠
• Warm grains⁠
• Nourishing broths⁠
⁠
🫚 Start your morning by tending your inner flame. Before coffee or breakfast, try:⁠

⁠
🍠 Embrace the sweet, sour and salty tastes. Ayurveda teaches that each season offers the tastes we need most. During vata season, favor the tastes that bring grounding, hydration and nourishment.⁠
⁠
• Sweet: builds strength and stability⁠
• Sour: supports digestion and awakens the senses⁠
• Salty: nourishes hydration and balance⁠
⁠
🕯️ Turn mealtime into a ritual, and honor consistency. In Ayurveda, the way we prepare, receive and digest our food matters just as much as the food itself.⁠
⁠
• Eat at consistent times daily⁠
• Eat in a peaceful environment without distractions⁠
• Slow down and chew your food thoroughly⁠
• Infuse your cooking with intention and presence⁠

It's coming from an old part of you that learned saying yes was the only way to stay safe, loved or needed.⁠

Healing isn't becoming someone who never feels guilty. Healing is becoming someone who can feel the discomfort, and still choose the loving truth.⁠

Think of ojas (OH-JUS) as the container that holds Think of ojas (OH-JUS) as the container that holds your abundant energy. It is the ultimate energy reserve of the body and mind. It is the purest essence of kapha, and physically, it is related to reproductive, hormonal and cerebrospinal fluids. ⁠
⁠
I love the metaphor of ojas as the body’s natural honey; it is the delicate and refined essence we produce from the plants and other vital essences we take in. Ojas is the force that enables us to sustain that change over time. ⁠
⁠
Think of it as your psychophysical container or shield. These days, everyone needs a little more support in the realm of ojas. ⁠
⁠
Here is a recipe for building and conserving your vital energy (ojas):⁠
⁠
• Go organic—Eat foods that are organic, in season and, when possible, local. ⁠
• Cleanse and purify, then rebuild and renew. Reduce ama before adding heavy, ojas-building foods.⁠
• Avoid overeating—This depletes your digestive fire. ⁠
• Avoid excess stimulation while eating—If you want to build your core vitality, don’t watch the evening news during dinner or eat lunch in front of your computer. ⁠
• Rest—Sleeping eight hours at night is paramount for building ojas. Rest also means taking a break from constant “doing” to relax and deeply unwind. ⁠
• Oil your outer body. ⁠
• Oil your inner body - Yes, that’s right. Drinking and eating more oils boosts ojas. Incorporate more oils such as hemp, flax, avocado, coconut and ghee into your diet. ⁠
• Say no to vampires—Avoid the people, places, and media that disturb your mind and/or suck your soul blood. ⁠
• Spend more time in nature. ⁠
• Rest your mind. ⁠
• Do nasya. ⁠
• Do restorative yoga. ⁠
• Love the one you’re with—any form of genuine love and devotion boosts your core vitality and immune system. ⁠
⁠
If you've been waiting for a sign to begin your Ayurveda journey, this might just be it. 🍯 Early Bird pricing for our 2027 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training ends next month, and we'd love to welcome you into this beautiful community.⁠
