My 4 Steps to healing: Become Wise

During my self-discovery, I also discovered the power of Functional Ayurveda for profound healing. Ayurveda, meaning 'knowledge of life,' encourages us to trust in our own bodies' wisdom and experience.

Ayurveda Winter Wellness: Balancing Kapha & Vata for Seasonal Health

Ayurveda Winter Wellness: Balancing Kapha & Vata for Seasonal Health

The first snow of winter carries a magic of its own—the crisp air, the scent of earth beneath fresh powder, and the quiet stillness that signals a new beginning. Just as the seasons shift, so too do the rhythms of our bodies.

In Ayurveda, winter is primarily considered Kapha season, with its cold weather, increased moisture, and hibernation-like energy. But in places like Colorado—where winters are also dry and brittle—Vata qualities are just as present. The stillness and isolation of winter can aggravate both Kapha and Vata, making it important to follow a supportive seasonal routine.

Detaching from Illness: A Buddhist Practice for Healing

When we face illness—whether a sudden diagnosis or a lifelong condition—it can be difficult to remain positive and trust the process of healing. The mind naturally attaches to labels such as “I have diabetes” or “I am overweight.” Yet from a Buddhist perspective, these identifications can actually strengthen our suffering rather than support our healing.

Abhyanga: The Ayurvedic Practice of Self-Massage with Oil

In Ayurveda, self-massage with oil is called Abhyanga, a practice that nourishes the body, calms the mind, and cultivates self-love. In Sanskrit, the word Sneha means both “oil” and “love.” When you anoint yourself with warm oil, you are not only moisturizing your skin — you are offering love and care to your entire being.

This simple yet profound daily ritual helps restore balance to the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, making it ideal during seasons of stress, dryness, or heightened heat.

Mindfulness of the Body: A Daily Practice for Awareness & Healing

In our busy world, the body often becomes the last thing we pay attention to. We push through exhaustion, run from one responsibility to the next, and overlook the signals our bodies send us. It’s no wonder so many of us feel overworked, tired, and disconnected from our physical health.

How often have you discovered a bruise or soreness and couldn’t remember where it came from? Or reached for pain medication without stopping to ask why the pain was there in the first place?

This is the cost of living in a constant state of distraction. But through mindfulness of the body, we can restore awareness, compassion, and connection with ourselves.

As autumn arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, the air grows crisp, the leaves fall, and Vata season takes center stage.
