Ashwagandha—The Best Supplement for Stress Support ๐Ÿ’ƒ

A Brief History of Ashwagandha Ashwagandha  is a key herb in Ayurvedic medicine, a healing system that has developed over the last 3,000 years. Ayurvedic medicine is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease.  Ashwagandha  fits perfectly into this model. In Ayurvedic medicine, the root and leaves of Ashwagandha are the most valued "rasayana," or substances that possess rejuvenating properties. For over five thousand years, Ashwagandha has been much revered for its longevity-promoting and revitalizing properties. Modern science has now documented these benefits and many more.

A Compassion Practice for Opening the Heart ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

This week, as I was taking time for self-study, I started to think about the effects of COVID-19 and noticed that most individuals are more concerned with themselves than with the effect this situation has on others, our community at large. It was heartbreaking to realize how dealing with so much fear has caused many people to close their hearts to compassion.  As I thought about this at length throughout the day, I remembered how many philosophies propose that compassion for ourselves is the  first step toward compassion for others. While this may seem counterintuitive, it actually makes a lot of sense — the more we show kindness and love to ourselves and allow others to love and show kindness to us, the more we are able to give these gifts to others in return. I came across a beautiful guided meditation on the Mindful website that I want to share with you. You can visit the recorded version here ( https://www.mindful.org/a-compassion-practice-for-opening-the-heart/ ) or yo...

Healing Through The Sense of Sight ๐Ÿ‘€

We’ve developed an incredible foundational knowledge of the building blocks of life, the mind/body characteristics of the three doshas, and the empowered choice-making that is available to us through this ancient system of health and healing. Now it’s time to explore exactly how to apply Ayurvedic principles and practices in real time. Ayurveda teaches that we have exclusive, 24/7 access to five distinct Gateways to Healing—also known as our five senses. Everything we see, smell, hear, taste and touch carries a unique vibration, creates a unique imprint within the world and within our own physiology. Therefore, each thing becomes an opportunity for inviting balance or imbalance. Yum or yuck. Harmony or discord. We can consciously choose to expose ourselves to sensory experiences that will not only promote balance and harmony overall, but help to temper an overactive dosha and its corresponding stress response. Just as our doshic imprint is divided...
