When I was younger, connecting with my intuition w When I was younger, connecting with my intuition was more like an intentional practice of learning about it and studying it.⁠
⁠
Now my intuition is really accessible, and it’s really fast. And it’s also deeply challenging.⁠
⁠
I know very quickly the highest and best move, action-wise. So the task isn’t as much, “is this my intuition? How do I connect to my intuition?” ⁠
⁠
My intuition is already right there. And so is yours.⁠
⁠
The challenge is to actually do what it says. ⁠
⁠
Our ego, or our little self, is so used to thinking and acting like it’s in charge… But our intuition is like, “Hey lady, why don’t you NOT react and just pause instead? What if you don’t know everything? What if you really take a moment to listen?”⁠
⁠
As we age, the most important thing around intuition is this: ⁠
⁠
Do what it freaking says. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes, that’s really, really hard because our reactions are almost instant. ⁠
⁠
But here’s the thing. When you start to learn what happens when you DON’T listen to your intuition - you begin to learn that the cost is usually too much NOT to listen.⁠
⁠
When did listening to your intuition really “click” in your personal evolution or aging process? Share with me down below - I wanna hear your experience.⁠
⁠
If you want to dive even deeper into this convo, check out my latest Spirit Session Podcast episode. ⁠
⁠
🎧 Comment “245” for the link to Ep. 245 Spirit-Led Business Success for Female Entrepreneurs with Angelica Neri where we chat intuition, business, and so much more.
Here’s how to use these different herbs to balan Here’s how to use these different herbs to balance summer pitta heat: ⁠
⁠
🌹TEAS & INFUSIONS⁠
Steep dried herbs in boiling water for several hours:⁠
⁠
• Licorice⁠
• Rose⁠
• Hibiscus⁠
• Rose Hips⁠
• Marshmallow⁠
• Mint⁠
⁠
In the summer, you want to stay really hydrated, and that doesn’t mean just drinking a ton of cold ice water. It means drinking things that hold lubricants in them like licorice tea, rose tea, hibiscus tea, rose hips and marshmallow tea. All of these are cooling and damp and will help plump up the skin full of water (but not in a water-retentive sort of way).⁠
⁠
🌿 HERBS FOR ABHYANGA⁠
Choose oils infused with these herbs and plants over the summer:⁠
⁠
• Neem⁠
• Lavender⁠
• Jasmine ⁠
• Rose⁠
• Helichrysum⁠
• Frankincense⁠
⁠
Ayurveda teaches that staying hydrated and cool is really about having a daily skincare routine whether it be January or July. The cornerstone of Ayurvedic skincare is putting herbal-infused oils on your body every day. Herbal infused oils are natural skin protectants and healers.⁠
⁠
🌸 FACIAL CARE⁠
Make a hydrating facial spritzer with:⁠
⁠
• Jasmine⁠
• Rose⁠
• Lavender⁠
• Frankincense⁠
⁠
You also want to stay hydrated on the outside. This time of year, I’ve got little bottles of spritzers everywhere and I just spritz myself all the time, slightly obsessively. Keep your skin moist. Mist and spritz! ⁠
⁠
Lady, we’ve got one thing that we do here at The Shakti School, and we do it the best in the whole world: feminine-form Ayurveda. Every single year our Ayurvedic Wellness Coach training gets more magical - with more teachers, more students and more women from all over the world gathering to remember what truly matters. ⁠
⁠
🌹 Early Bird registration for our 2027 Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training is officially open. Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL for more information.⁠
⁠
🕯️If you’ve been craving a more feminine, intuitive and nourishing approach to your wellbeing, comment WISDOM to dive into our free Women’s Wisdom + Ayurveda mini-course now.
Remember some of the qualities of pitta: hot, ligh Remember some of the qualities of pitta: hot, light, oily, sharp, intense, and mobile. 

Because of these inherent qualities, pitta-type people will do best with forms of body movement that cultivate the opposing qualities (i.e., exercising in temperate or cool weather, and exercising in a calm and steady way). 

Working out in this manner will help relieve some of the tension, intensity, heat, and irritability associated with pitta imbalance. It will also help get rid of any excess Fire (i.e., stress and acid) in the body, most specifically in the sites where heat accumulates—small intestine, liver, blood, head, and eyes. If you exercise in a way that aggravates pitta, you will actually accumulate more Fire in those body parts. 

Any body type will benefit from using the pitta-reducing routine if they are relatively healthy and it is summer.

Pitta types can tend to be overly competitive and “burn out.” Make sure to hydrate your pitta body with water or other liquids, particularly in the summer time.

Put all of the ingredients except the zinc into a Put all of the ingredients except the zinc into a large glass mason jar. Fill a medium saucepan with a few inches of water and place that on medium heat. Loosely fit the lid on the jar and place that in the water. ⁠
⁠
Let all those ingredients melt together completely, shaking or stirring to get it all blended.⁠
⁠
Once everything is melted, take it off the heat, add in the zinc, secure the lid, shake it up and stir it well. Then pour it into whatever container you plan on keeping the sunscreen in and let it cool.⁠
⁠
This sunscreen has around 35 to 40 SPF naturally!⁠
⁠
And one more thing - if you still love conventional sunscreen and want to keep using it, just avoid any sunscreen that has oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is found in about 40% of sunscreens and it’s been banned in Japan and parts of Europe because it’s been found to be a major endocrine disruptor related to infertility, hormone imbalance and low birth rates.⁠
⁠
Remember the golden rule in Ayurveda: ⁠
⁠
We don’t put anything on our skin that we would not use in our kitchen. 🥣⁠
⁠
Enjoy your summer and take care of your skin! ✨⁠
⁠
P.S. Beautiful person - I wanna let you know that The Shakti School doors are officially open for our next Level 1 cohort starting January 2027. This is more than a certification. It’s a living field of women who become mirrors, mentors, and soul-sisters for your unfolding, and it will absolutely change your life from the inside out.

One thing about Pitta types… they usually have a One thing about Pitta types… they usually have an opinion. 🔥😉

I see pitta as a glowingly hot arrow. She is the heat of transformation. She is the energy of Fire and a little Water. You may have experienced pitta’s imbalanced side when you have had fever, loose stools, skin rash or acne, or the heated emotions of anger and frustration.

On the plane of the mind and spirit, pitta carries the gift of discernment that can cut through the smokescreen, allowing you to see a situation clearly.

You know your mental pitta is weak, for example, if you continually repeat the same life errors over and over again (I think of dating).

You will know your mental fire is getting stronger when you can quickly sift the wheat from the chaff-and do so with grace and kindness. 

When we use our pitta fire for good, we have the ability to see the white-hot truth about ourselves and others. 

When it is out of balance, we become overly critical and compulsive—like those people who insist on rearranging others’ emotional spice cabinets or micromanaging a grown child’s life path.
