Inner Woven Wellness

11/18/2024

May we all channel our energy thoughtfully as we enter the quiet stillness of Winter—a season that invites us to slow down, reflect deeply, rest more, and conserve our strength. This is a time to build inner resilience, readying ourselves for the new projects, creations, and gardens that will bloom when the light returns. During this dark phase of the wheel of the year, we focus on the soil, delving inward, tending to our roots and nurturing our inner fire, all while preparing the ground for what we have yet to plant and bring forth in the future.

There's a time for expansion and a time for contraction.

Just as Rajas and Tamas have their dance in order to find Sattva,
we find our balance between tending the inner world and the outer world.

Both are equally important.

Both beg us to tune into the natural rhythms of what is needed in the moment. 💃🏽

Life lives through rhythms and relationships,
tune into them with care. ☀️🍂❄️🌱🧬🌀

Ghee, a staple in Ayurvedic medicine, is much more than clarified butter. It offers numerous health benefits that nurture our bodies inside and out. Here’s why ghee is a key component of holistic wellness:
1. 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Ghee ignites the digestive fire (Agni), helping to break down food and eliminate toxins, thereby enhancing overall digestive capacity.
2. 𝑬𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝑵𝒖𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑨𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: By improving the intestinal wall's ability to absorb essential nutrients, ghee helps combat nutrient deficiencies, crucial for overall health.
3. 𝑨𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒄𝒚: Ghee acts as a catalyst in Ayurveda, carrying the healing properties of herbs deep into our tissues, increasing their effectiveness.
4. 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝑽𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑶𝒋𝒂𝒔: Ojas, responsible for our vitality and immunity, is significantly enhanced by ghee. Regular consumption promotes qualities like softness, compassion, and a healthy skin luster.
5. 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒖𝒕: Rich in butyrate acid, ghee nourishes and heals the gut wall, reducing inflammation and aiding conditions like leaky gut syndrome and IBS.
6. 𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒌: Butyrate acid in ghee helps prevent colon cancer by fostering healthy bacteria in the colon and promoting healthy cell growth.
7. 𝑳𝒖𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚: Ghee alleviates dryness, nourishing tissues at a cellular level, which helps with dry skin, constipation, inflammation, and stiff joints.
8. 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚: During Ayurvedic cleanses, ghee loosens deep-rooted toxins, facilitating their removal and ensuring a thorough detox.
9. 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒋𝒖𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Ghee aids in tissue rejuvenation, boosting energy, strength, and immunity, especially after illness or during times of depletion.
10. 𝑵𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑵𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎: Ghee enhances intellect, memory, and mental clarity, supporting a balanced and nourished nervous system.
11. 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: With its anti-inflammatory properties, ghee helps manage allergies, arthritis, and autoimmune conditions, promoting long-term health.

💫Let's acknowledge that while we don't create 100% of our reality, we are, in fact, co-creators.

👉🏼Let's also confront the harsh truth: there are systems of harm and oppression alive in this world that are preventing marginalized people from co-creating much of their reality...

🌟I want to highlight that much of our experience is within our own minds and bodies. It is so important to be kind to ourselves, practice trying on multiple perspectives, and tend to our inner terrain.

🔑 The key is to deconstruct our own inner wars and internal systems of oppression and liberate ourselves first so that we may create a better world out there.

As I navigate my inner world, I encounter walls that hinder my ability to love myself and others completely. These walls, formed by judgment, comparison, and assumption, hold me back.

I reconnect with Mother Earth, and I am reminded to embrace and love what is alive in the moment, what is real. It may seem effortless when everything is going smoothly, but life has its twists.

I just wanted to remind you that it's okay to feel frustration, pain, and unease. These emotions also deserve unconditional love to be acknowledged and trusted as part of our journey. The urge to fix and change can pull us away from the present moment. Sometimes, all it takes is a deep breath, fully experiencing our feelings, and accepting them. (Although, at times, this can take a while to recognize or even process, and that's okay, too.)

And then, like magic, things start to fall into place. 🪞💫

🌿Nutrient-Dense Popcorn Seasoning🍿

I love using this organ blend in eggs, meats, and stews... but I really changed the game when I decided to blend it with salt, chili powder, and nutritional yeast to top off our homemade popcorn! 🤌🏻

We received some fresh corn kernels from our local CSA and I've been hesitant to cook homemade popcorn for my first time. After some googling, it seemed to be a pretty easy process and I had to whip up a yummy blend of spices to toss it in!

For 1/2 a cup of popcorn kernels popped, I used:
🫙1/2 tsp mineral salt (more for preferred taste)
🌶1/8 tsp chili powder
🥩1/4 tsp Multi-Organ Blend
🧀Few dashes of Nutritional Yeast

Benefits of this Nutritonal Powerhouse Includes:

🫀HEART: Packed with CoQ10 for cardiovascular vitality

🫘KIDNEY: A micronutrient treasure trove

🔥PANCREAS: Natural digestive enzymes for gut harmony

🛡️THYMUS: An immune-stimulating powerhouse

⚡️LIVER: Nature's multivitamin and metabolic ally

🩸SPLEEN: Rich bioavailable iron sources for vibrant energy

💫Traditional Wisdom Transcended💫

Glandular therapy has roots that span thousands of years, embraced by ancient Hindus, Egyptians, and Greeks. In traditional cultures, specific organ consumption was a healing ritual—liver for the ailing, heart for the weak, and bone marrow for iron-deficiency anemia.

Dr. Weston A. Price, the visionary explorer of global dietary practices, observed that the healthiest communities cherished organ meats as supreme health builders.

Organ meats are a holistic nutritional treasure, teeming with vitamins (especially A and D), essential amino acids, enzymes, and trace minerals often elusive in our modern diets. Glandular tissues, metabolically dynamic, stand as a concentrated source of building blocks vital for hormone production, digestive enzymes for optimal assimilation, and other active components essential for optimal biological function.

🌬️✨ Embrace the Nourishing Power of Nasya Oil in the Chills of Vata Season! 🍃🧊

As the cold winds of Vata season sweep in, I find myself attuning to the rhythm of nature. The cool, dry energy of this season infiltrates our bodies, causing irregular digestion, nervous system imbalances, and a pervasive dryness that touches our bones and tissues.

To combat the cold's effects, I turn to warming rituals. Hot water, spiced teas, and golden yolky milk lattes become my allies, trading in smoothies and salads for more soups and stews. This transition reflects the wisdom of adapting to the astringent dryness of nature, which also permeates our internal landscape. 🏞

During this season, I boost my oil consumption, infusing more Ghee into my meals and incorporating daily CCF tea for digestion and elimination. The dry winds of Vata season call for an indulgent self-oil massage followed by a hot bath or shower—an act of harmony that balances the excess vata. These become my acts of self care that not only tend to my heart but my mind and body, too. 💓

Amidst these winter practices, I discovered the magic of Nasya oil—a true ally for sinuses and mental clarity. The nose, the doorway to consciousness in Ayurveda, deserves special care. Nasya oil becomes my daily staple, cleansing and protecting nasal passages, nourishing tissues, and promoting clear breathing. Its effects are nothing short of transformative:

🌿 Soothing and Lubricating

🫁 Supports Clear Breathing

🧘 Promotes Clarity and Ease

🧠Gotu Kola Supporting Brain + Nervous System

🌼 Skullcap Supporting Relaxation

This Vata season, let Nasya oil be your companion on the journey to inner warmth, clarity, and calm.

How do you nurture yourself during the colder months?

Just as a tree needs nourishment at its roots to flourish, we must prioritize nurturing our own physical, mental, and emotional roots. As a mother, this means taking care of yourself so that you can better care for your children. It's like filling your own cup first before pouring into others. That's really how it works, isn't it? 💞

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this principle emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance and harmony within our bodies and minds. By tending to our roots through proper nutrition, rest, self-care, and mindful practices, we create a strong foundation for overall well-being.

As a mother, practicing this means prioritizing self-care to ensure you have the energy and resilience to care for your children. It's about finding moments to recharge, whether it's through meditation, spending time in nature, pursuing hobbies, or seeking support from loved ones. By nurturing your own roots, you can create a loving and nurturing environment for your children to thrive. 🌳

Remember, just as water nourishes the roots of a plant, self-care nourishes your own roots. The soil beneath is dark, cold, and full of nutrients, dont be afraid to soak them up, ☯️ just as much as you soak in the sun's nourishing rays of light~ allowing you to blossom and enjoy the fruits of your efforts as a mother. Embrace this principle, and watch how it positively impacts your own well-being and the well-being of your family. 🌱🌸
