👉🏽 One of the most profound, yet overlooked spiritual practices? Simply being with our emotions. Without trying to change them, without trying to “fix” ourselves and without trying to squirm away from our feelings. 

Having emotions does not make you wrong. It’s how we choose to be with ourselves in those moments, that matters. ❤️‍🔥
                                                  Did you know the doshas don’t just govern your b Did you know the doshas don’t just govern your body type? They also guide the flow of your day.⁠
⁠
According to Ayurveda, each part of the day is ruled by a different dosha, and whether Vata, Pitta or Kapha is dominant offers us insight into when to move, rest, create and digest.⁠
⁠
When we align our daily rhythm with these natural cycles, life starts to feel more easeful and our bodies more energized and vibrant.⁠
⁠
Honoring the doshas throughout your day is about reconnecting with your body and honoring its sacred cycles.⁠
