Sarvani Ayurveda

Happy December! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and the Official start to the Holiday Season! The days are shorter, nights are colder and the snow has started to fall This means its officially Kapha Season! Kapha is comprised of Earth and Water and represents our strength (immunity), structure and lubrication in our physiology. Kapha's nature is sweet, loving and easy going which is perfect for the season... Even though it tends to be anything but! Kapha is thi...ck, heavy, dense and oily. When in excess these qualities turn into ama, which is the buildup of undigested food or substances, thoughts and experiences that manifest into toxins in the body. These toxins attack or latch onto the weakest areas of our body. This time of year slows down our Agni (digestion) as the cold and damp makes our digestive fire weak. It's common for our appetite to be not so strong, especially when we wake up. Try a nourishing and agni boosting breakfast of Stewed Apples and/or sipping on your favorite hot tea throughout the day! love CCF Tea (Coriander, Cumin and Fennel) as it helps to rid the body of toxins and replenish all the dhatus (tissues). These are a few great ways to get our digestive fire revved up and fueled for the day!

My name is Alexis Santos, and I am honored to be able to share a little of my journey with you. In June of 2017 I graduated from New World Ayurveda, which is established by one of the Country's most profound and knowledgeable Ayurvedic Physicians, Dr. Paul Dugliss M.D. I have not just had the privilege to learn from one of the best, but also shared that learning experience with some truly incredible people from all backgrounds. My fellow classmates were Doctors, nurses, mas...sage therapists, energy workers, yogis, those in business and finance and even cooks. What I find so beautiful about Ayurveda is no matter your walk of life, anyone truly dedicated and open can learn this great knowledge and use it not only to better themselves but their community.

Karma is the Law of our Soul

Believe it or not, Yoga is a branch of Ayurveda and not a seperate system or science. That is because Ayurveda is the science of life, and Yoga is the unification with pure consciousness or Purusha. This unification with Consciousness is the essence of Ayurveda. But Yoga is not just physical actions or movements like that of your favorite Yoga class, but in essence the word Yoga is defined as what is unifying us with Pure Consciousness. Amazingly, modern science recognizes th...at there is in fact a unified field of Consciousness, otherwise known as the Quantum Field. Physical Yoga is just one form that prepares and activates the body and energetic centers or Chakras and Nadis for tuning into higher states of consciousness. There are Vedic Astrological Yogas that form with the unification of different planets, houses and signs for the development of Karma. There is also the Yoga of sound or Nada Yoga which is the use of Sanskrit Mantras or Beej Mantras, sound waves and frequencies from instruments such as singing bowls or gongs (check out Shakti Meditation and Sound Healing!) to unify the mind with pure consciousness. All forms of Yoga are meant for the development and transcendence of the Soul Have a Transformational Tuesday!

Amidst the uncertainty, take a moment to b r e a t h e . . We are all trying to navigate these unprecedented times, and I personally can say that like most of you I have teetered between moments of clarity, calm and gratitude to stress, worry, anger, and fear... Within one day or really sometimes within the hour . .... In these moments, we have several options. Allowing the mind to conquer us or us to conquer the mind. I feel so grateful for my spiritual practices. Meditation has allowed me to recalibrate my nervous system, ground my mind and thoughts and tap into deeper states of consciousness and find peace and clarity. With that said, it is called a practice for a reason. The more you practice, the better you feel, the more easily you can "tap in" and clear your mind of the noise. For those who have never meditated or have struggled with getting into the practice, the best way to start is by breathing. When feeling anxious, worried or scared our breathing becomes shallow or vapid. This deprives our body of oxygen, which along with many other factors negatively impacts our nervous system creating a vicious cycle of physical, mental and emotional suffering. . . Take a deep breath in, feel the fullness in your lungs, the beating of your heart, the pulsating sensation throughout your body and pause. Exhale. Repeat. . . Breathe in. Pause. Exhale. Breathe in calm, exhale fear. Breathe in love, exhale anger. You will be ok, I will be ok, we will all be ok. I am commiting to sharing with all my personal practices, recipes and Ayurvedic remedies and modalities to recharge and reset as well as what personally brings me joy and happiness these days. . . What is something you're doing that helps you feel better or recenter? Feel free to comment below

While cold and flu season is still rampant, I know many are worried about the impact of the Corona Virus. The best way to protect ourselves starts with a strong immune system. Common practices like getting plenty of sleep, a healthy diet and exercise are all great ways to boost immunity. The unfortunate reality is even the best of us can use an extra boost, and chyawanprash is the perfect way to to super charge our bodies and rebuild ojas AKA our vital life force Chyawanpra...sh is an Ayurvedic herbal jam that acts as a Rasayana or rejuvenative. One of it's most prominent ingredients is Amalaki, a fruit containing the highest amount of naturally recurring Vitamin C of any substance! Not to mention the over 27 different herbs and spices synergistically blended in this ancient formula to boost immunity and increase energy and vitality This Chyawanprash from @lotusbloomingherbs is one of the best on the market, and my personal favorite! I take a teaspoon on a empty stomach in the morning, and when I'm feeling particularly worn down prior to bed. Lately I've been taking it twice a day and notice myself craving it! This delicious, sweet and nourishing jam is an easy way to give ourselves that extra boost we need! Benefits of Chyawanprash include: Builds ojas by supporting healthy immune response Supports healthy function of our respiratory system Increases strength and vitality Rejuvenates tissues throughout the body Stokes agni or digestive fire * This is not a paid ad for @lotusbloomingherbs but a sincere recommendation *

* Friday thoughts * How many of us experience bliss or happiness on a daily basis? Where in society or our education system do we learn about cultivating self awareness or understanding the difference between consciousness and our emotional experiences? The answer is, we don't. The ancient sages of the East had a deep understanding of the importance of developing consciousness and the integral connection between our mental and emotional state and our physical being. When our... sleep, diet and daily lives become stressed and our bodies resources depleted, our mental and emotional being becomes afflicted. What are your thoughts? How often do you experience bliss, happiness or even a sense of peace or contentment? More importantly, what do you do on a regular basis to deal with the stress of our crazy, hectic lives? Wishing everyone a nourishing and rejuvenating weekend
