Om Maitri Ayurveda

Guru Purnima is a special and auspicious time which is set aside for offering respect to our chosen mentors, teachers, leaders and gurus. A time for honoring those who have inspired us and for whom we can thank for the wisdom and clarity that is present within.

This time always gives me pause to reflect on the many mentors who have inspired my life. Although somewhat unconsciously, I have always had a mentor in my adult life. It is just in my nature, I guess, to want to learn and grow in every possible way and I’ve been most open to learning from people who inspire me by their morals, their clarity and their devotion to personal growth.

I give thanks and love to the many men and women (and mostly children!) who have been my greatest teachers and mentors throughout the years. While some stand out as especially meaningful, I have a gift of surrounding myself with the most incredible, wise, kind and inspiring sorts of folks.

How blessed I have been in this journey.

It’s summer season! I’ve always had a special relationship with the sun ☀️. I grew up in the southern desert of Utah and while potentially not ideal for my doshic constitution, the heat of summer speaks to me!

The truth is, though, what truly and sincerely speaks to me is the seasons and the joy and harmony that comes when I live in close synchronicity with them. I’ll be honest, I don’t love salad. But I’ve learned that there is a very specific time of year when fresh veggies are the only thing that seem to satiate me! And this is that time, thank goodness. Join my email newsletter list by DMing and enjoy my favorite spring roll recipe, along with the most delicious almond dipping sauce!

Summer is the pitta time of year and the foods most in alignment are cooling and moist; think cucumbers 🥒 and watermelon 🍉. With these foods we can increase our hydration, moisten our skin, and cool the body from the inside out.

Foods to enjoy:
• sweet fruits
• melons
• papaya, apples and avocados
• cabbage family
• leafy greens, lettuce, celery
• cilantro, coconut, fennel,
• turmeric, peppermint, dill
• cumin, coriander
• sunflower and coconut oils
• pumpkin and sunflower seeds
• tofu and other legumes
• soaked and peeled almonds

Foods to avoid:
• sour or fermented foods
• pungent (spicy) foods
• hard cheese and sour cream
• corn & sesame oil
• garlic, hing, nutmeg, allspice
• alcohol

Attention Educators!!!!

So many of our lovely educators come from the year feeling FRIED and in need of some serious self care and to reestablish balance. This course is designed to offer such support and it includes some super great bonuses that many educators are interested in but that feel out of reach during the school year.

Burnout is just too common among our educators and I am passionate about offering affordable and realistic options for educators to achieve balance and to approach their work in the ways that our beloved Dr. Maria Montessori taught - spiritually prepared! And this means balance of body, mind and spirit. I have created this course with the intent to serve our education community and to offer the abundance of love and nourishment that is so well deserved among our people and with whole body balance as our guiding force!

I will be offering some scholarship funds if this feels aligned but financially out of reach. If enrollment exceeds what I can comfortably host in my studio, we will be at an alternative location.

🫚 AGNI APPETIZER RECIPE 🫚

Agni is the foundation of health. Agni, the digestive fire within, changes with the seasons and stages of life and is deeply impacted by ones diet and exercise habits. Digestive issues occur when agni is not functioning properly and so Ayurveda implores a great deal of energy into having properly functioning agni.

Ideally, we feel hungry at regular meal times, eat at the same time each day, feel energized after a meal, and are without digestive discomforts like gas, bloating, indigestion, heaviness after eating and have healthy, regular elimination.

When we eat without the agni being strong, or when we aren’t very hungry, proper digestion does not occur and ama (toxins) build up in the system and other health issues can occur. To maintain a healthy agni, this combination of pungent, sour and salty appetizer can do wonders!

Prepare this just before eating it and eat about 10 minutes before a meal. It can be taken each time a meal is eaten or simply before your largest meal of the day. Continue regular use until agni is strong and healthy on its own and then on an as-needed basis before larger meals, holiday meals or other times when food might be heavy or difficult to digest.

Ingredients:

1 small slice of ginger

Several drops of lime juice

Small pinch of rock salt

Slice the ginger into small pieces. Sprinkle 2-4 drops of lime juice and a pinch of salt on the ginger. Eat 10 minutes before your meal.

Enjoy!

One of the most sacred aspects of Ayurveda’s incredible facets is called ojas. It is my relationship to ojas that brings me back to this medicine again and again, with reverence and awe. It is this vital essence that stabalizes vital life force. It is this milky, warm, white and soft substance that provides immunity, resiliency, vitality - and that brings the great balance and harmony that we all seek. It is ojas that allows us to show up again and again and again to this beautiful experience called life.

I’ve documented more information to help you determine the health of your own ojas, to guide you to developing healthy ojas, and clues about how low ojas might be impacting your life. To receive a link to this article, reply or send me a DM.

As always, if you wish to better understand this incredible science or to obtain more if it in your life, I would be honored to guide you, You know where to find me.

Wishing you an ojas filled day,

Brit

Making new mama a sitz bath today that includes antiinflammatory, antibacterial, anodyne, and uterine and reproductive tonic properties.

Pushing is a major chore for the body and while it might just be THE most empowering moments of motherhood, the ones that make us recognize our strength, our power, our determination, it’s like all the moments that test us and it requires rest and rejuvenation afterwards.

This yummy sitz tonic has rose, chamomile, comfrey, uva ursi, St John’s Wort and Ashwagandha to help mamas bottom heal so she can tend to what’s most important right now.

To the mighty and fierce woman who raised me. Who showed up to the bullies and who took in the friends without. Who loves so hard she can’t stand it some days. Who lives and breathes hope for her babies. Who believes in me when i don’t believe in myself. Who forgives the big feelings that put space between us. Whose heart reminds me of broken clay repaired again and again with golden bright light. Who crosses rivers of madness to hold me again and again.

The momma behind my success and my great yearning to make my own children feel like the most important beings on earth.

I love you, mom. Deeply and securely.
