Happy Lunar new year!! Healing starts early. Teach kids early that it's ok to have any emotions including anger. Correct the behavior not emotion. I read a book suggesting that to improve behavior tell them that "you are grounded" and no talking and isolate them. I don't think this is correct way as it also tells kids that whenever they are emotional, we will not listen to you and abandon you in that tough time.
.
Correct the behavior by holding them if they hitting you or hurting themselves. And be loving and caring.
.
Being a mother has taught me so many things but above all taught me what true love is. Unconditionally!
.
All my friends and family giving so much love to my daughter brings huge amounts of joy in me. It's well said that most important medicine is family and community who truly cares. Thank you for giving so much love to my little Shyla 💞

Ginger, known as Adrak, is one of the most important spices used in every culture; it is pungent and aromatic. It has been widely used for its medicinal properties. Now that the winter is here, we would need foods that keep us warm and healthy and ginger is one such super food.

Benefit of consuming ginger during winter:

• It helps in aiding digestion
• It helps in fighting cold, cough and flu
• Helps in reducing joint pains
• Helps in lowering bad cholesterol

What does the Tree Pose symbolize?

Trees have always been powerful images in every culture. They symbolize life, growth, strength and balance, rooting down to the ground and rising up to the sky at the same time.

Physical Benefits: Tree Pose strengthens the thighs, calves, ankles and spine. It stretches the groins and inner thighs, chest and shoulders. Tree Pose increases the range of motion in the hips and deeps the thorax. It helps relieve sciatica and reduces flat feet. It also improves general balance.

"Stage 1: Breaking Up Tamas/ Moving from Tamas to Rajas – Personal Healing

For this transition fire is necessary. We must wake up, act and begin to change. Deep seated patterns of attachment, stagnation and depression must be released. We must recognize our suffering and learn from it, confronting our pain, including what we have suppressed or ignored for years. A new sense of who we are and what we need to do is required. Action (Rajas) is indicated, not only in the mind but involving outer aspects of our lives. We must break with the past, bring new energies into our lives, perhaps change jobs or modify our relationships, or move to a new locale.

Stage 2: Calming Rajas/ Moving from Rajas to Sattva – Healing of Humanity

For this transition space is necessary. We must surrender our pain and give up our personal seeking, letting go of individual hurts and sorrows. Egoistic drives and motivations must be surrendered for the greater good. We must depersonalize our problems and look to understand the entire human condition and the pain of others. Leaving behind our personal problems we must take up the problems of humanity, opening up to the suffering of others as our own. We must learn that life creates suffering in order to help us to grow spiritually. This is a stage of service and charity.

Stage 3: Developing Pure Sattva – Universal Peace

To bring about this transition we must develop love and awareness as universal forces. We must learn to transcend the limitations of the human condition to our higher spiritual nature. Inner peace must become our dominant force. We should no longer seek to overcome our pain but to develop our joy. We should no longer be centered in our personal or collective problems but in developing communion with the greater universe and the Divine powers at work within it. At this stage we move from the human aspect of our condition to the universal aspect, becoming open to all life. This is the stage of spiritual practice. It is beyond all ordinary healing and works to heal our relationship with God or the inner Self."

Relation between five Elements and three basic energies:
The Ayurvedic Doshas—Vata, Pitta and Kapha—are comprised of five elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. Vata is comprised of Ether and Air, Pitta of Fire and Water, and Kapha of Earth and Water. The Doshas are biological energies found throughout the human body and mind. They show up in all our characteristics, from the way we eat and digest to the way we sleep. The balance of these tri-energies is known as state of health and their imbalance is disease.

Home remedies for certain eye conditions:
Conjunctivitis: Amla is an excellent remedy for dealing with conjunctivitis. You can also prepare a decoction from coriander and use it as an eyewash to reduce burning, swelling, and redness.

Burning sensation in eyes: Take a cotton pad and soak it in rose water, milk, or aloe vera juice. Let the cotton pad stay on your closed eyes for about ten to twenty minutes.

Stressed and dry skin around the eyes: Gently rub a drop of almond oil above and under the eyes to keep it smooth and ease the stress.

Redness: Application of a paste of milk and castor oil or sandal and milk is a beneficial Ayurveda eye treatment.

As we journey through autumn—the season of Vata dosha— When the dry, windy environment of fall increases Vata dosha we often notice things like dry stools, gas, bloating, and occasional irregular bowel movements, dry skin and may even have anxiousness, a restless mind, or trouble sleeping,
Here are a few Vata-balancing tips to stay balanced and healthy this Autumn:
– Start with a warm oil body massage before taking shower.
– Sip a mug of ginger tea with a touch of lemon and honey.
– Foot massage to get grounded and present.
– Stay cozy and warm.

Enhance the digestive fire (Agni):
Ginger: One of the best herbs to kindle agni is ginger. Before each meal, chop or grate a little fresh ginger, add a few drops of lime juice and a pinch of pink salt, and chew it up.

Garlic and Trikatu: Make a mixture of 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp trikatu and a pinch of rock salt. (Trikatu is composed of ginger, black pepper, and Indian long pepper in equal proportions.) Take it before lunch and dinner.

Bay Leaf: Steep 1/2 tsp crushed or ground-up bay leaf in a cup of hot water for 10 minutes to make a tea. Add a pinch of cardamom, and drink after meal.

Be present….
.
.
I have been experiencing #burnout :
🔥agitated – sensitive small noise , small changes.
.
🔥can’t sleep – my brain 🧠 was replaying what happened at work, all stupid mistakes I made, things to be done , things overdue…
.
🔥body ache – feel pain on the shoulders, lower back; headache, skin flares…
.
🔥anxiety – I could breakdown to cry in a second…
.
.
I felt hopeless… I didn’t know what to do: I had brain fog in multiple important meetings at work; I couldn’t say no to any of my work requests (I didn’t want to let others down); never requested for days off as I gotta be responsive to my projects, clients coworkers … while my 2year old daughter got pink eye waiting for me to care and company….
.
.
I felt torn. This was burnout.
.
.
I left out my meditation ; dropped out jappa chanting… Left all spiritual teachings behind, my mind attached with all material miseries leashed out like wildfire burning 🔥 me from inside out…
.
.
Tonight , I picked up my chanting malas, sat down in a quiet space and breath out whatever no longer served me… it was a long sigh-out… it was good… it left me with a small space for peace …
.
.
.
Tonight, I am committed to keep chanting and meditation as my daily practice in good time or bad time..
.
.
There is always goods and bads in life; it is part of the bumpy journey… I shall experience and embrace the journey knowing this is the way home…

My 20months old kid got pink eye; My husband @parthyogi was called from daycare asking us to pick her up asap , while both of us are working.

I was worried about my kid but in the same time, I felt #frustrated : I had to drop everything at work – left my work unfinished made me feel unaccomplished. My work is undone.
.
I took my daughter outside thought the sunlight and outdoor vibe would uplift her mood while she through herself on the ground; screaming out of her lung, kicking and tossing in the public- yes, people walking by, saw it. People in the car , saw it. I could literally feel all rays of eyes shooting through me – I felt naked! I felt shamed and I was #vulnerable .
.
My feelings, #emotions were taunting. Frustration turned into sense of failure, turned into helplessness, turning into hopeless.
.
That very moment, I questioned myself if i am even a #mother material. At that very moment, I just want to disappear.
.
Then, I saw this magic scene – my husband Parth who also dropped everything to get our daughter squatted down. He kept a little distance from my out-of- control kid and just be there looking at her without saying anything.
.
He was there, tried to be at my daughter’s height and just looking at her kindly – I can feel his love transporting to Shyla(my kid’s name) through this quiet gaze.
.
Shyla stopped crying.
.
I, standing in the back, tensing all muscles, was trying to figure out what had happened:
.
When I left my work: my mind is still at work. I was frustrated because my mind was still attached to work. I didn’t notice that but Shyla did (sometimes, I am very amazed on how sensitive kids can be, even without proper language skills). Parth, on the other hand, he has always been present. He has always been there for her, for our daughter.
.
I learnt a good lesson today. A lesson that is beyond parenting skills.

.
Thank you Parth 💗🙏

Enjoy watermelon 🍉 before the summer end!
Watermelon 🍉 is my favorite summer fruit. It’s cold in potency and sweet in taste, which makes it a Kapha incasing and pitta pacify 🍉
🌿Here are the Ayurvedic benefits:
🌱 Daha – relieves burning 🔥 sensation
🌱shrmapaha- relieves fatigue

As the Kapha character fruit, avoid having watermelon 🍉 in the evening time or if there is cold, sinusitis on-site .💪🙏
