                                            According to the Vedas (the spiritual root texts o According to the Vedas (the spiritual root texts of Ayurveda), your soul has four goals or desires, which the texts call the purusharthas, “that which is for the purpose of the soul.” The Ayurvedic tradition takes these four core human motivations and gives us permission to enjoy and pursue them, while not becoming overly attached to any of them. ⁠
⁠
In this way, we can enjoy pleasure, seek success and purpose, strive for material gain and seek out the practices and mentors that will teach us how to live a more integrated, enlightened, soulful life. ⁠
⁠
By no means will this quick overview do justice to the complex tapestry of what these four motivators are or how we can succeed in their fulfillment, but it will offer a little peek at the four aims that are paramount to our sense of total health and happiness.⁠

                                            One of the keys to good digestion in Ayurveda is k One of the keys to good digestion in Ayurveda is keeping things SIMPLE. Less complicated meals give our digestive fire a chance to rest and truly metabolize the fuel we’re feeding the fire. ⁠
⁠
Peas are light, astringent and slightly drying—aka they help balance kapha’s natural heaviness and tendency to hold onto all the things (mucus, water, emotional clutter... you name it). Plus, they're packed with protein and fiber without being overly dense.⁠
⁠
On top of that, soup is basically kapha’s best friend. It’s warm, light AND easy to digest. Broth and veggie-based soups are the perfect go-to option for spring dinners that aren’t too heavy! Enjoy! 🌿

Sometimes chaos is just a part of the human curriculum - we’re all beginners in this weird and beautiful school of life.

⁠
Quick reminder that this practice is not only about achieving a state of perfect health, getting rid of all your wrinkles or even getting the perfect poo. 💩 The reason that we strive to honor our health, to put IN that which is nourishing to our bodies and to reduce our “ama-generating” habits is so that we can begin to hear the soul’s whisper become clearer and clearer.⁠
⁠
Yes, we could all probably use a two-week Panchakarma (it’s true!), but sometimes, the best thing we can do for our health is to go outside, let the sun wash over our face and get quiet enough to remember our inner knowing for just a few moments.
