Nice. 🙌

In Ayurveda the opposite of dry is oily. Abhyanga is great for balancing out the dryness of Vata. And bonus points because oil is heavy and grounding. I do self-abhyanga a few times a week.

I'll try some candle gazing this evening...thanks for the reminder.

So many great self care options in Ayurveda 🙏

it's amazing! i finally went to a professional and the reading was magic, i feel so seen and so at ease realizing the oddity and perfection of my vata kapha combination

Feeling Vata vitiated.

Woke at 3am to wind gusts 🌬️. Drifted in and out of sleep until my alarm abruptly interrupted my dream of eating pastries and sipping coffee at a French cafe.

The energic qualities of wind are the same as Vata dosha and include being dry, light, mobile and cold.

Introducing opposite energetics (warm, moist, heavy, stable/grounding) will balance a vitiated Vata dosha

Morning routine today:

Sip warm water

Restorative yoga

Tulsi tea + French apple tart

politics riles me up. the moment i see a post in support of a specific politician or a specific narrative, it gets me going.

this is my problem.

i am working to be more understanding and more accepting.

everyone is free to buy into whomever and whatever makes them shake. freedom is also freedom of thought. my opinion of your opinion is not one that needs to see daylight or a biological stress response.

this is my problem.

i am working to be more understanding and more accepting.

even as i type this, a little voice narrates a different message of ignorance and laziness.

i do not need this fight. political arguments are an almost immediate activation of ego and identity. i do not need to provoke this. i do not need to feed this monster.

i need to be more understanding and more accepting.

and in this effort, my reactions will become less severe and i can swim more often in equanimity.
