Weโ€™re always told what poor digestion looks likeโ€ฆ bloating, heaviness, discomfort.

But hardly anyone talks about the signs of a healthy gut - the ones that tell you your agni is steady, your mind is clearer, so your whole system stays in harmony.

Itโ€™s a kind of inner ease - waking up light, feeling clear after meals, having energy that doesnโ€™t crash by noon, and a mind that feels just a little calmer and clearer.

Comment below and tell me: Whatโ€™s one sign you notice in yourself when your gut feels genuinely healthy?

Travel gets you from place to place, but ritual brings you home to yourself.

My arrival rituals help balance vฤta, calm the body, and reclaim the space. Then the exploration and fun can begin without all the frantic energy.

โœง clear the room: smoke, sound, or silence
โœง sip fennel or ccf tea to soothe digestion
โœง massage warm oil into the feet
โœง breathe deeply and let the system settle with Vayu Mudra: tip of the index finger is placed at the base of the thumb. Thumb covers the index finger. Sit with conscious breathing for 10 mins

Make this a habit post taking a flight to bring about a balance in your system!

Which of these resonate with you on arrival after a flight? ๐Ÿ›ฌ

Donโ€™t make wellbeing complicated!

Ayurvedaโ€™s daily habits are time-tested tools for real balance - physical, mental, metabolic and energetic.

Airy, Fiery, or Heavy? Decode Your Gut Imbalance.

In Ayurveda, your Agni, or digestive fire is as unique as your fingerprint.

When it burns evenly, you feel light, clear, energised, and emotionally steady. When itโ€™s disturbed, the earliest signs of imbalance appear - long before disease does.

Each ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) expresses imbalance in a different way:
๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ (๐—”๐—ถ๐—ฟ + ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ) โ€“ bloating, irregular appetite, constipation, or anxiety.
๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐—ฃ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ (๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ + ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ) โ€“ acidity, burning digestion, loose stools, or irritability.
๐ŸŒฟ ๐—ž๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ฎ (๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ต + ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ) โ€“ heaviness, sluggish digestion, mucus, or lethargy.

Your gut reflects the rhythm of your inner elements. When one goes off-beat, everything feels off. Knowing your gut tendencies helps you rebalance through food, rhythm, and lifestyle. The secret is to notice the signs before they become symptoms. Prevention begins with awareness.

Modern science calls it the โ€˜gut-brain connection.โ€™
Ayurveda calls it Agni - your metabolic fires ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

When your Agni is happy, you feel happy: your hunger, elimination, energy, and even your mood fall into rhythm.

Letโ€™s explore the signs of a happy gut according to Ayurveda:

1๏ธโƒฃ A normal timely appetite: a pleasant sense of hunger not feeling โ€˜hangryโ€™

2๏ธโƒฃ A clean pink tongue - no white coating

3๏ธโƒฃ Easy and regular bowel elimination - ideally once or twice a day

4๏ธโƒฃ Good taste perception, enjoying the vibrancy of your food.

5๏ธโƒฃ Stable health: steady weight, normal blood pressure, strong immunity, and restful sleep.

6๏ธโƒฃ Clear Burping without the taste of previously eaten food

7๏ธโƒฃ A balanced agni brings a calm mind and clear perception.

8๏ธโƒฃ An enthusiasm and love for life.

Count how many of these get a thumbs up from you?

Halloween has passed, Dรญa de los Mu***os is here, and somewhere between the two lies Samhain โ€” the ancient Celtic turning point that marked the end of harvest and the start of the dark season.

I love this time of year, the thinning veil, the slowing down, the invitation to digest whatโ€™s been and prepare for whatโ€™s coming. Ayurveda feels the same: autumn is Vata season, windy, dry, restless. It's a time to ground, nourish, and tend the inner fire (Agni).

So this week, Iโ€™m brewing my autumn apothecary: ginger for warmth, tulsi for calm, flaxseed for grounding, cinnamon for flow, and ghee for glow.

The real magic of this season isnโ€™t in costumes or candles. Itโ€™s in how we care for ourselves through change.

Did you know your shoes can carry over 400,000 Did you know that the soles of your shoes can carry hundreds of thousands of bacteria and that up to 90โ€“99% of them can transfer onto your floors? Is that enough to make you remove your shoes in your home? Or in my case also when you visit me at my clinical practice, something that i cannot compromise on!

What may seem like a casual 'shoes off at the door' rule is actually a deeply rooted practice in Indian tradition and many other cultures, especially when entering temples and sacred spaces.

Hereโ€™s why it matters:

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ ๐—›๐˜†๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ & ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต
Shoes carry bacteria, toxins, and allergens into our living spaces. Removing them protects your floors and your immune system, especially important if you have children who play on the floor.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—–๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†
According to Vedic thought, shoes bring in rajasic and tamasic energies from the outside world. Taking them off helps maintain the sattvic purity of the home.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ ๐—›๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ
Just as we remove shoes before entering a temple, we honour our homes with the same reverence. Itโ€™s a sign of humility and respect.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€
Walking barefoot indoors improves posture, strengthens foot muscles, and supports natural balance and grounding.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ ๐—˜๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜† โ€“ This small ritual aligns us with the earth element (prithvi), supporting a deeper connection to nature and self.

What if your home wasnโ€™t just a space to reside but a sanctuary?

โœจ Are you team shoes-off or shoes-on at home?
What are your thoughts? Honest opinions- no judgement? Let me know๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

After the highs of gorgeous summer weโ€™ve been blessed with, itโ€™s normal to feel:
๐Ÿ‚ Sluggish digestion & bloating
๐Ÿ‚ Dips in mood and energy
๐Ÿ‚ Overheated or run down
๐Ÿ‚ Vulnerable to seasonal colds

In Ayurveda, Autumn is the natural season for a ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ - releasing what no longer serves, strengthening immunity, and preparing your body and mind for the darker months ahead.

โœ”๏ธ Balance hormones & mood

Itโ€™s all about grounding meals, Ayurvedic rituals, herbal support, and a reset that feels deeply nourishing (not punishing).

Itโ€™s been a year of spiritual acceleration - big energy shifts, deep lessons, and stepping fully into sovereignty. A year of learning that nothing is permanent.

Weโ€™ve been taught to measure life in yearsโ€ฆ but years donโ€™t tell you how alive you are.

Ageing well isnโ€™t about chasing youth, itโ€™s about living deeply, with purpose, vitality, and presence.

Birthdays arenโ€™t just milestones. Theyโ€™re invitations: to reflect, recalibrate, and release what no longer serves.

This year, Iโ€™m asking a different question: How alive am I?

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Wellbeing

I help clients on a personalised journey of wellness. Most health issues stem largely from stress and/or issues of the gut and my work is focused on disease prevention and health promotion by addressing these root causes. I work predominantly with clients 1-2-1 in London but also work with clients across the globe.

I take clients through an ayurvedic consultation where we establish your dosha type or correctly known as your โ€˜prakrutiโ€™, look at your current state of balance, digestive health and lifestyle patterns. I always say that we should never underestimate the power of the subtle changes. After all Rome wasโ€™t built in a day.

I also work with corporate clients who value the ethos of wellness in the workplace, offering talks, workshops and consultancy. I love writing and sharing useful and practical ayurvedic wisdom - you can follow my blog at: https://www.geetavara.co.uk/blog/
