Soul’s Holiday

Solitude is the soul’s holiday, an opportunity to take a breather doing for others and to surprise and delight ourselves instead.
To create little islands of solitude in daily life for relaxation. The more you are relaxed the better you can receive.

It’s a challenge to let ourselves slow down and look at the inner world and what is going on there. In moments of prayer or meditation, or simply in stillnes we breathe more deeply, see more fully, hear more clearly. We notice more, and in the process, we return to what is sacred.

Carving out a little solitude can make a world of difference. So go ahead–give yourself a break.

To Solitude,

The Ancient Healing Spice

Cinnamon is a spice commonly used in cooking that comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree. When the bark is removed, it’s called a cinnamon stick.

Cinnamon has also been used as medicine in traditional healing. You can grind up fresh cinnamon sticks to make tea, to cook into your food or sprinkle on oatmeal, soups, rice dishes or desserts.

In Ayurvedic terms, cinnamon pacifies Vata and Kapha doshas. It has a sweet, pungent, and bitter rasa, taste and is excellent for digestion, strengthening the heart and warming the kidneys.

However you apply cinnamon in stick or in powder form, cinnamon is sure to spice up your life!

Turmeric- The Golden Spice

In ancient Ayurveda, herbs are seen as the spiritual essence, the Kundalini of plants. Plants and herbs carry within them the wisdom of cosmic intelligence, and the healing vibrations of nature.

According to Ayurveda, humans and plants have had a spiritual connection. To incorporate turmeric into your daily routine and life you can in every-way. Turmeric is known as the spice of LIFE. It purifies the blood and the channels of the body. It improves the skin’s complexion, bringing circulation and nutrition to the skin. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and balances all the doshas, but it balances Pitta the most because of its blood-cleansing and liver-cleansing properties.

You can use 1 tsp of #turmeric per day in some form, whether in tea, on the skin, or in the diet. Add some in as you are making breakfast or sautéeing veggies in coconut oil to place over quinoa. Boil some turmeric in coconut milk with honey before bed. So many possibilities that improve health and well-being. #love, #krishna
