The Power Of Ginger

In my opinion, ginger is a really underrated herb. It actually has way more healing properties than its more widely used counterpart garlic and on top of that - it supports peace in the mind - while garlic can support irritation, anger and impulsivity. (Now don’t get me wrong, I love garlic as much as the next person but it is very sparingly used in my diet - this being the main reason.)

Ginger works on our subtle energy channels, helps support our prana (breath) and keeps our digestion strong especially in a heavier dish. Read through the slides for some great ginger tips!

If you are experiencing avoiding, burning sensation or angry rashes, it is best to avoid too much ginger until you see an Ayurvedic practitioner to make sure it will not aggravate these symptoms.

Happy Gingering 🫚!

When even your own practitioner gets taken down! My lungs are fighting something and I’m so fever-delirious I could barely follow what the Ayurvedic doctor was saying. I came here to learn and work, and instead I’m being so beautifully cared for with round-the-clock herbs and support.

In this photo I’ve got two lepams on: one on my forehead to cool the fever, and one on my throat to soothe the pain and coughing.

Under this Gemini full moon—with the Sagittarius Sun and all the Virgo–Pisces axis energy—there’s a sense of choice, possibility, and intuitive clarity. Virgo wants order, Pisces wants flow. Gemini brings perspective, Sagittarius brings soul-desire. They’re all mutable signs at the same degree, so yes… it’s a moment. A reminder to choose with intention what we’re leaving behind and what we’re walking toward.

We can’t take it all. We can’t do it all. And honestly, I’m writing this for me. My FOMO, my “yes-person” era, my wanting to taste every cake—none of it is working anymore.

It’s time to drop into the body, connect to spirit or your own consciousness, and ask the real yes/no questions about what truly belongs in your life moving forward. Sit with the decision, not push it, take the time to honor your process through this ( as we are not the same people as we're at the beginning of this year despite how fast it went by!) Muscle testing and noticing how you feel around people or situations can also give you feedback on your yes and no.

As we make our way into 2026 (thankfully!) the lessons of these past few years actually, start to come into greater focus. Instead of focusing on what we don't want, we are able to feel and experience what it is we DO want.

The universe mirrors back to us in positives. It does not understand "I do not have enough," reaches for power and greed nor does it take complaints. As anyone with a gratitude practice knows, the universe responds to thankfulness, appreciation and those who share joy with others freely.

Take the time to pause before calculating your next steps - the nature of fire and Sagittarius as well as all mutuable signs can be impulsiveness. It is important to ground yourself while you map out your path to your goals.

This is the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur—built in 1799 from pink and red sandstone— and was designed with 953 tiny windows so the women of the royal household could quietly watch daily life unfold below. The breeze flowing through those jharokhas kept the palace cool, but it also did something else: it created a space for observing without rushing.

There’s a lesson tucked inside that architecture.
Just like the women who looked out from Hawa Mahal, we’re meant to pause and actually see our days—not just move through them on autopilot. A little moment of noticing, a breath of presence, can shift everything.

This palace reminds us that life is happening right in front of us. All we have to do is look.

Enjoy the holiday weekend and each moment as a gift because let’s face it, this year was brutal!

This is not fog out the window - it is pollution : taken as the plane was about to land in Delhi.

While everyone at home is giving thanks, this is a reminder to the gifts, blessings and privileges one receives living in America.

Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday and very grateful I do NOT have to eat turkey on this day 🌿

Autumn makes everything feel a little scattered — dry skin, light sleep, a busy mind. Small habits can create big comfort for your nervous system. 🍂✨

The planet Mercury (planet of intellect, nerves and skin) is moving through transits with Mars (heat) and Rahu (confusion) this month.

This can destabilize our central nervous system more than normal- ground in routines and put down multitasking to help stabilize your mind, confusion and nervous system.

As the winds shift and the air turns cooler, Vata season returns — bringing with it movement, dryness, and change. In this video, I’m sharing gentle Ayurvedic reminders to help you stay grounded and nourished. From saying no to multitasking, to warming your oils and meals — it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting with balance.
