NEW JOURNAL ENTRY: "AGNI ~ THE HEARTH OF YOUR BEING"

"In the ancient science of Ayurveda, the concept of Agni holds paramount significance. Often translated as "digestive fire" or "metabolic fire," Agni represents the transformative energy responsible for digestion, assimilation, and metabolism in the body and mind. Understanding Agni and its various manifestations is key to maintaining optimal health and vitality.

What is Agni?
Agni, in Ayurveda, is not merely the physical fire found in the digestive tract but encompasses the entire spectrum of metabolic processes occurring within the body and mind. It governs digestion, absorption, assimilation, and even the transformation of thoughts and emotions. When Agni is balanced, it supports overall well-being, while its imbalance can lead to various health issues.

Importance of Agni
The proper functioning of Agni is crucial for optimal health and vitality. It ensures efficient digestion and metabolism, allowing the body to extract nutrients from food and eliminate waste effectively. A balanced Agni promotes energy, clarity of mind, and a strong immune system."

This cup, chai kulhad, is so much more than a mere vessel. According to Ayurveda, it deepens the medicine and ritual of your tonic thanks to the pure clay it is made of. This is yours for FREE with every purchase of Matrika until this Saturday, 2nd March.

Here are some potential benefits:

🔥Enhanced Metabolism: Ayurveda suggests that clay pots can help improve metabolism due to their ability to balance the pH level of the beverage, which is conducive to digestive health.

💧 Water Purification: Clay is believed to have a purifying effect due to its alkaline nature, aiding in neutralising the water's pH and thereby improving digestion and potentially boosting health.

🪨 Natural Minerals: Clay is a natural material that can leach minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium into the beverage, which can be beneficial for bone health and overall wellness, especially in women who may require more of these nutrients.

❄️ Nourishment and Cooling Properties: The slow heat used in clay cups is believed to provide a nourishing effect to the drink, which is gentle on the system. Moreover, clay is said to have cooling properties, which align with Ayurveda's principles of balancing body temperatures.

🌎 Grounding: Ayurveda tells us that like increase like - the Earth from which the kulhad is made from helps to offer the same grounding or stability through its sweet, clay material.

This kulhad is yours FREE with every purchase of Matrika this week until Saturday. Head to the link in our bio to learn about our Matrika ~ a medicinal ghee tonic booster that increases the potency of your daily drink.

I found this quote yesterday and resonated so deeply with its essence and the way it relates to the way I work I do with Ayurveda and Śrī Soma.

There are many tonics and adaptogenic lattes on the market and many of them pile in as many herbs as they can muster. Sometimes I wonder if the combination of so many herbs could potentially create confusion in the body and overburden it to the point of the blend essentially becoming ineffective. Some clever marketing, a beautiful package and lots of buzz words would convince anyone that they're making the best choice for themselves.

Simplicity in a world of intricacies is my favourite way to cut to the core - to create the greatest and most beneficial outcomes for ourselves and our wellbeing.

Simple eating.

Simple routines.

Simple rituals.

Simple tonic blends that have a single hero herb and a careful selection of supportive spices - this is the Śrī Soma approach to tonic making. Every one of our tonics has a single focus and one adaptogenic herb that has a unique purpose. Every other herb and spice around it has been selected to cradle and support the efficacy of the hero herb so that you can really feel the benefits and faster.

We're proud of the thoughtfulness placed into each recipe and your generous feedback tells us that you all can feel the difference too.

So, this is your loving reminder to: simplify. Do less, be more.

In the relentless whirlwind of modern life, we often find ourselves on a carousel that seems never to slow, a pace not naturally aligned with the ebb and flow of feminine cycles. Women are architects, builders, and caretakers of the world, yet the very structure of our days can pull us out of sync with our innate rhythms. We navigate deadlines and demands with a mettle forged out of necessity, armouring ourselves with a toughness to match beats with a world that seldom pauses for breath.

Yet in the midst of this pulsating dance, there is a whispering strength in the gentle sways of femininity, in the softness we've been told might be our undoing. It’s in the courage of vulnerability, the resilience of empathy, and the healing power of compassion that often might get mistaken for weakness. This softness is a superpower, an underlying force that can change the course of lives and create resilience in the most turbulent of storms.

Embracing our softness doesn't mean shying away from challenges, but rather facing them with our whole selves, nurturing our needs and listening to the subtle shifts within. Prioritising self-care isn’t just a luxurious aside; it’s as essential as the air we breathe. It’s the quiet moment we steal before the dawn, the gentle pause between tasks, the deep breath we take before speaking—to feed the flames within us that grow warmth and light and not just heat.

Cherish your softness, your energy, and your cycles. Let them not be overrun by the world's clock but instead, intertwine them with your daily life. For in this nurturing of self, in preserving the supple grace that is inherently ours, we find an enduring strength that can carry us through every season of life.

Matrika in Sanskrit literally translates to "small mother" or "mother," derived from "mātr," meaning "mother." These matrikas are conceptualized in Hinduism as the personified powers (Shaktis) of different Devas. Each Matrika is associated with a particular aspect of the divine and is recognised as a powerful independent deity.

To us at Śrī Soma, "Matrika" aligns closely with the concept that the feminine is the womb or source of creation, symbolically representing the cosmos as the divine mother. The term draws parallel to 'matrix,' which in Latin means 'womb,' signifying that women, like the Matrikas, are the vessel from which life emerges, embodying the creative force in the universe. The concept speaks to the reverence of the feminine principle as foundational and vital in the cosmic order, celebrating the role of women as creators and sustainers of life.

In the light of the Vedic vision, one can truly grasp the profound significance of women's health for the underpinning of a thriving society. The ancient texts reverently enshrine the concept where women are likened to Shakti, the embodiment of energy and vitality. This perspective mirrors the universe's balance, with the feminine principle being central to creation and prosperity.

From the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, we admit that when a woman thrives in health, the family flourishes, for she is the Soma, the nurturing balm that heals and harmonises the home. As a healthy woman is poised to support and educate the coming generations, she ensures the propagation of knowledge and dharma, upholding the society's backbone. Her wellbeing is the womb from which springs the overall societal health.

"Rasāyana" is a term from Ayurvedic medicine that refers to a rejuvenation therapy or a longevity and immune system booster.

It translates to "Path of Essence"

Rasāyana herbs and formulations are believed to promote physical and mental health, improve longevity, and enhance overall well-being.

Some common ingredients found in rasāyana formulations include ashwagandha, shatavari and turmeric, among others. There's also some more common, household ingredients that offer the same properties like ghee, cardamom, fenugreek and saffron.

Ghee, in particular, is highly valued for its rejuvenating properties. Cardamom and saffron are also commonly used in rasayāna preparations for their beneficial effects on health and well-being. Fenugreek is known for its ability to support various bodily systems, making it a valued rasāyana ingredient as well.

These herbs are used in various combinations to create rasāyana preparations with different health benefits (strengthening, womb support, nervous system rehabilitation and so on).

Have you ever had a rasāyana preparation or been on an Ayurvedic rejuvenation protocol?
