~A reading from Wild Mercy by Mirabai Starr

~Why we need to understand our primal biomechanics/nervous system

~That point just before death

Late winter in the Northern Hemisphere is a kapha- Late winter in the Northern Hemisphere is a kapha-vata crossover season - still cold, but increasingly damp and heavy as the water and earth elements begin to rise. Ayurveda teaches this is the moment to stay warm while gently stimulating circulation and clearing stagnation, so we don’t carry winter’s sluggishness into spring.⁠
⁠
Southern Hemisphere beauties, you’re in late summer/early fall, so follow hydrating and grounding Ayurveda guidance instead of late-winter protocols (tons more on our blog for you, the link is in our bio 😉).⁠
⁠
The sweet spot right now is warm and slightly bitter foods and gently stimulating lifestyle rhythms. Kindle agni, move your lymph and lighten up, without depleting your nervous system.⁠
⁠
Late Winter Self-Care Checklist:⁠
⁠
• Dress warmly even on milder days to prevent mucus and stagnation.⁠
• Get adequate sleep but avoid heavy oversleeping.⁠
• Prep for an Ayurvedic cleanse - it’s a great time to “clean out” your body, mind, home or closet!⁠
• Start dreaming up spring projects and creative plans.⁠
• Add more aerobic movement (walking, dance, fluid yoga, cycling).⁠
• Prioritize daily sunlight and fresh air for natural vitamin D.⁠
• Dry brush (only if vata is balanced) and/or practice warm abhyanga.⁠
• Sip tulsi tea to support immunity and clarity.⁠
• Leafy greens, radishes, broccoli, basmati rice and well-cooked legumes are allies.⁠
• Favor warming spices like mustard seed, garlic, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper.⁠
• Fenugreek is your friend - warming, bitter and drying.⁠
• Ginger is warming and activating helping kindle agni while steadying vata.⁠
• Consider chyavanprash for deep rejuvenation.⁠
• Hydrate with warm water and keep skin plump with a gentle mist.⁠

I love the metaphor of ojas as the body’s natura I love the metaphor of ojas as the body’s natural honey; it is the delicate and refined essence we produce from the plants and other vital essences we take in. Ojas is the force that enables us to sustain that change over time. ⁠

Think of it as your psychophysical container or shield. These days, everyone needs a little more support in the realm of ojas. ⁠
