The purpose of alchemizing our pain is not perfect

The purpose of alchemizing our pain is not perfection. In fact, it can be incredibly liberating to free ourselves from the idea that we will ever be perfectly healed—the idea that we will ever NOT have a certain amount of discomfort and suffering in our lives.

I remember having my heart cracked open when I learned about the Hindu goddess Akhilandeshvari, She Who Is Never Not Broken.

She is the keeper of the realm of hearts broken, dreams unachieved, and promises unkept. She is with us when we fall into a snotty ball on our bed, unable to keep the sobs from engulfing us.

She is the opposite of “Move on,” “Just get over it,” and “Oh, come on, it could be worse.” She allows us to be with our feelings until they naturally transform.

She exists within us, constantly gathering the broken pieces of us back into her.

And although she is always broken, her face is peaceful because she knows an important secret: that she is always there with us, coexisting alongside the pain.

And She Who Is Never Not Broken is one of the biggest keys to accessing our true inner glow, in that she allows all the rusted, grimy, broken, roughed-up parts of us to be held in the warm gaze of her message: You can be here.

These double-edged goddesses teach us the beautiful and often painful lesson of the tension of the opposites.

Can you embody these goddesses by holding the paradox of life, knowing that both brokenness and wholeness may always be operating in our lives?

This is a milky beverage that counteracts insomnia

This is a milky beverage that counteracts insomnia and nervousness before bed.

Ayurveda provides nourishing and grounding remedies that help settle both body and mind. 🌀☁️

Warm milk is traditionally used as an ojas-building tonic that supports deep restoration, while valerian helps calm the nervous system, ashwagandha supports stress resilience, nutmeg is used for its gently sedative qualities, and saffron eases the mind toward rest. 🫖

When taken together, you have a soothing ritual that reduces excess movement in the mind and invites deep ease before bedtime. 🌙

You can also enhance the effects of this milky medicine by rubbing some warm sesame oil and a few drops of jatamansi essential oil on the soles of your feet before covering them in socks.

In the latest episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast,

In the latest episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast, I do a deep download on erythritol. You may have never heard of this chemical but it is a sweetener lurking inside so many of the “clean,” “keto,” and even “stevia” products we’ve been told are better for us.

Think bubbly waters, protein bars and powders, energy drinks that are sold as more health-conscious, even the “healthiest” electrolytes on the market.

You may be eating and drinking way more of this than you realize. I was!

This podcast episode is short and sweet and offers a deep dive into both the recent science and the Ayurvedic agreement around it.

I hope it helps us all come back to intelligent sweetness.

Sweetly yours,
Katie 💗

We’re so excited to share that on June 11th, our Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification students will receive a special bonus class with Amanda Ree of Sama Dog Wellbeing. 🐶🌿✨⁠

For the dog mamas in our community, this is such an exciting opportunity to explore the role of Ayurveda in the relationships we share with our pets and how we can support our pets’ individual constitutions. We can’t wait for students to experience Amanda’s warmth, wisdom and unique perspective on supporting animals through a holistic lens!⁠
⁠
In this class, students will learn:⁠
⁠
• How Ayurvedic principles and the doshas can be applied to dogs and other animals⁠
• How to identify signs of Vata, Pitta and Kapha imbalance in pets⁠
• Practical ways to support animals through routines, environment, grounding, and sensory experiences⁠
• Holistic tools to support animal wellbeing like mindfulness practices, flower essences and more⁠

Her work brings together Ayurvedic principles, modern wellness and a profound respect for the emotional and spiritual bond between humans and animals. A lead educator within the Chopra Center for many years, Amanda brings extensive training in yoga, meditation, and conscious living to her work — developing a perspective on canine care that goes beyond symptom management, guiding dog guardians to understand the full picture of their dog's health across body, mind and spirit.⁠

Amanda is also a Canine Wellness Practitioner and Animal Chaplain, bringing a rare combination of ancient wisdom and compassionate presence to the humans and animals she serves.⁠

Ayurveda views premenstrual symptoms as the manife

Ayurveda views premenstrual symptoms as the manifestation of a doshic imbalance. Menstrual symptoms can reflect imbalance in any of the doshas, but typically, the premenstrual period is linked to vata and pitta dosha—things can get too dry, too heated or too emotional.⁠
⁠
It’s especially important to tend to vata dosha during the luteal phase, the couple of weeks that precede your bleed. Tending to vata during this time means grounding, stabilizing and soothing the nervous system. ⁠
⁠
Here are some Ayurvedic recommendations for your luteal phase:⁠
⁠
🍠 Eating For Your Luteal Phase⁠
⁠
• Root vegetables - Carrots, parsnips, beets and sweet potatoes are deeply nourishing and grounding, helping to counter vata anxiety ⁠
• Ghee and healthy fats - Supports healthy hormones and nutrient absorption⁠
• Steamed greens - Leafy greens offer vital nutrients and their bitterness and astringent qualities counter pitta’s heat⁠
• Warm, cooked grains - Steady nourishment for smooth digestion and steady agni⁠
• Soups and stews - Supports digestion and the nervous system at the same time—also beneficial for kapha types and kapha imbalances⁠
⁠
🌿 Supportive Herbs & Spices⁠
⁠
• Turmeric - Helps support the body’s detoxification pathways, aiding hormone regulation⁠
• Ginger - Kindles agni and steadies digestion⁠
• Ashwagandha - Provides essential nervous system steadiness through emotional waves⁠
• Shatavari - Supports women’s hormonal balance; is cooling and moistening⁠
• Brahmi - An Ayurvedic herb known for supporting mental ease and balance⁠
• Cumin - Digestive aid soothing vata (aka goodbye gassiness!)⁠
• Fennel - Cooling digestive support that helps reduce both vata and pitta ⁠
• Coriander - Pitta-reducing to help mitigate irritability and excess heat⁠
• Sesame Seeds - Contain essential minerals and fatty acids that promote hormonal balance⁠
• Fenugreek - Anti-inflammatory qualities may help ease menstrual discomfort⁠
• Mint - Helps to cool and aid digestion, balancing both pitta and vata⁠
