🥕 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:⁠
⁠
• A cup of warm lemon water⁠
• Ginger tea⁠
• A few deep breaths or gentle movement⁠
• A moment of gratitude before eating⁠
⁠
🍠 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
⁠
Friend, the rituals you’re creating for yourself could become the medicine you share with the world. ⁠
⁠
✨ Comment STARTER and we'll send you our free Ayurveda Starter Kit with three of our favorite beginner resources to help you begin creating rituals that nourish your body, mind and spirit.⁠
I don’t want you to become a “good Ayurveda gi I don’t want you to become a “good Ayurveda girl.” I don’t want you to be afraid of eating tomatoes. 😂 Or carrying around 47 wellness rules about what your mind-body type is “allowed” to eat. Trust me, I tried that route, and it only leads to more of the same. ⁠
⁠
I want you to be so awake to your body and your heart, that you can actually LISTEN to what they are telling you. And after 20+ years of supporting women to access their inner wisdom - I can promise you - your body will always lead you to love. ⁠
⁠
At The Shakti School, we teach ancient Ayurveda for the REAL modern woman: hormones, nervous system, digestion, aging, relationships, purpose and a big side of healthy pleasure.⁠
