The holidays are a time for celebration and joy, b The holidays are a time for celebration and joy, but it’s easy for digestion and energy to become off-kilter with stress, over-indulgence or overwhelm. Ayurveda offers us simple ways to stay grounded AND nourished during times like these:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Honor your agni. Choose warm, lightly spiced and wet foods that support digestion and keep your agni kindled.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Digestion-honoring habits. Sip ginger tea, stop eating at the first burp and avoid cold drinks to help your body assimilate nutrients and digest heavy foods with more ease.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Bring in the gratitude (like, REAL gratitude - get those thankful vibes flowing!) When we eat from a space of love, connection and genuine thankfulness, Ayurveda teaches that digestion improves naturally. In other words, we are not just what we eat, but HOW we eat. ⁠

POV: You stop waging war against the parts of you POV: You stop waging war against the parts of you that you’ve been fighting against and suddenly… everything syncs up.

The need to endlessly “fix” dissipates. 

(And you end up feeling a lot more WHOLE as a result.)

This is where true healing begins.

Nothing inside you is wrong. 

Nothing needs to be kicked out. 

Just welcomed back in. 

Send to a friend who needs a reminder that the thing they’re struggling with most within themselves…is the exact thing that needs MORE love, forgiveness and compassion. 💗
Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeli Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeling calm 24/7.⁠
⁠
It’s about giving your nervous system accurate information about what’s happening right now, so it can respond appropriately instead of reacting from old, undigested experiences.⁠
⁠
We can support that process with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, through what we eat, how we move, how we breathe and how we live out our daily rhythms.⁠
⁠
Vata is deeply tied to the nervous system And the biggest secret to grounding Vata? → We slow things down. ⁠
⁠
In our culture, peak Vata season lands right in the middle of the holiday season, exactly when we all have the most to do. So this is THE most important time to ground + regulate.⁠
⁠
