Adopting a daily ritual is truly one of the most nurturing and stabilising choices you can make for yourself.
Here are 6 Ayurvedic morning practices that will help to calm the nervous system & fire up your digestive system.
✨️ Rinse Face & Eyes -
A splash of cool water is soothing and rejuvenating to the face, mouth, and eyes.
It brings a sense of freshness to the body and mind.
✨️ Move Your Body -
Regular exercise, especially yoga, improves circulation, strength, and endurance.
Exercise daily to half of your capacity, which is until sweat forms on the forehead, armpits, and spine.
✨️ Mindfulness Practice -
This can be meditation, pranayama (breath techniques), yoga, journaling, prayer, or other activities that bring well-being to your spirit and mind.
The more you allow for these types of practices, the greater the benefits
Samadhi Oil can help enahance meditation practice by promoting mental clarity, intelligence, and wisdom.
✨️ Self Massage -
This is a profound practice of rejuvenation and loving self-care.
Perform a self-massage with warm cold-pressed black sesame oil or Vata Oil. After 5-20 minutes, rinse the skin with warm water to remove excess oil
This nourishing oil is particularly abundant in minerals such as magnesium and zinc and contains high levels of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor to serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and emotional balance.
✨️ Nasya -
Applying herbal oil to the nasal passages directly soothes the nervous system.
The oils' calming properties ease stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation, while lubrication relieves congestion, aiding in better breathing and increased oxygen.
This practice supports overall nervous system balance and resilience against stressors.
