Join the Ayurvedic Workshop for Digestive Health! https://app.omnisend.com/view/602eee70c5e84a3c9ff39484/0

How is your #digestion? This is a topic we speak to very little these days, embarrassed to look at a subject so taboo in our modern and apparently ‘civilized’ world. Yet it is one of the top complaints that we see in our customers and clients, especially amongst young adults who have grown into a workforce where the demands on their attention and energy are extreme, where the availability of fresh, unprocessed, organic food is limited, and where their online lifestyles lea...ve little time for healthy physical activity. But #Ayurveda has always known that the state of one’s digestion is a key reflection of their overall health, vitality and longevity. So we bring you our second #Ayurvedic Workshop of 2021, AYURVEDA FOR DIGESTIVE HEALTH! On Sat. Feb 27th, from 10am-4pm, we will gather together online in the safe holding container of #sangha, held together by the guidance, knowledge and care of @tiffany.nicholson.smith (Ayurvedic practitioner and international #Yoga teacher), to explore the often misunderstood and unnecessarily overcomplicated subject of how we can optimally digest both the inputs of life and food, drawing in and absorbing the most nutrition and eliminating all unnecessary waste. We will focus on how we can restore our gut health to a state of Sama Agni (even or balanced digestion), where we experience only ease in the process of digestion, assimilation and elimination. From the lens of stoking, balancing and maintaining #Agni (digestive fire), we will learn: The 4 States of Agni How digestion dictates the state of our metabolism, immunity, energy, sleep & brain health Ideal diet recommendations for each #AyurvedicConstitution The importance of how we prepare our food and how we eat Daily Rituals + Yogic and Meditation Practices that promote strong Agni Join us and let 2021 be the year that you flush your digestive woes down the toilet!

The Significance of #WinterSolstice Today marks the shortest day of the year as well as the darkest. From here on, the sun will slowly return to the Northern Hemisphere, a sacred and jovial occasion traditionally celebrated with Christmas, this most auspicious day signifying the birth of hope and of light and of heaven on earth. Unfortunately, our culture of consumption has turned even the most glorious day of the year into a commercial venture, and not surprisingly, very ...little homage is payed to this day, Solstice, within contemporary western society. In Ayurveda, the darkness of winter is considered an opportunity to build our stores of #Ojas, the vitality that sustains us through the seasons of our lives and provides protection or immunity against the difficulties that we encounter. Where there is Ojas, one is brimming with life, and when Ojas is deeply depleted, we too lack the sustenance and thirst for life. Drawing the senses inwards (#Pratyahara) and dropping into meditative silence (#Dhyana), is one of the most Ojas-building activities we can engage in. Like a turtle drawings its limbs into its shell, or a bear tucking into its cave for deep hibernation, we too are resurrected when we reconnect to and draw in the nourishment offered through the roots of our innermost-being. Taking in foods and drinks that are heavy, warming and oily also calm our minds and fortify our bodies with vitality. May we suggest that you disconnect from the whims of the #egomind, and take this time today, and into the holidays, to allow silence to replenish and rebuild the very expression of your physical, mental and emotional body, so that you may be a bright light in this world, which needs you now more than ever. As #Saturn conjuncts #Jupiter in a rare meeting, falling into a new elemental energy (Air, #Aquarius) for the next 200 years, may we take it upon ourselves to be know and be embodiments of the light that we long for in the darkest of our days.

Thank you so much Tiffany! I just want to tell you how much I have enjoyed these 20 weeks and 17 meetings. They have been perspective and lifestyle changing for me. I truly do feel gifted to have had your guidance over this time. I look forward to integrating all my Ayurvedic learnings from the Immersion. So many new things to look forward to now and such a renewed perspective with this clearer, more holistic lens on life.... -Ru Henry Doors close for the 50hr #AyurvedicImmersion March 3! Our signature course, led by @tiffany.nicholson.smith, starts that day and will go on for 16 weeks (4 months) of weekly online sessions where you will have the opportunity to glean the foundational knowledge of #Ayurveda, and apply it into your own life or your existing #healing practice. Tiffany offers this course in a very applied manner, offering space for discussion, weekly integrations, online practices, and a private session with her. Dive into traditional #Vedic wellness without even having to leave your couch! LEARN MORE HERE: https://tiffanynicholson-smith.com/online-ayurveda-immersi/

SAVE 20% OFF EVERYTHING IN RASA AYURVEDA'S ONLINE APOTHECARY TODAY ONLY! We had a difficult time deciding whether we should participate or not in the madness that is now #blackfriday. The excessive pressure to consume, the hit that small businesses must take to compete in this arena of giants, and the #rajasic (stimulating) energy that this chaotic bombardment of offers brings into our lives was not necessarily something that we felt aligned with. In response, we have at...tempted to play their game, our way. 1. We will donate 5% of all our sales to @navdanyainternational , for their essential work in the healing and regeneration of our soil, our air, our waterways, our agricultural systems and therefore our selves. 2. We ask that you please #SHOPSMALLTHISCHRISTMAS (or whichever holiday you recognize), and realize that your purchasing decisions shape the economy and therefore, the consciousness and manifested reality of this world. Your choices matter. Remember that nothing is truly free. Someone is always having to swallow the cost of the discount or freebie you receive. Please take this into your heart with appreciation, before you open your wallet. 3. We encourage you to not spend frivolously. Let your spending be #sacred. Let it be intentional, infused with #Sankalpa (sacred intention) and guided by a greater purpose and calling. 4. #PayItForward. As you receive items for a fraction of their retail value, consider giving back a portion of what you saved to a charity that inspires your heart, or to someone in your family or community who is struggling. Show up in this life with the remembrance that all beings simply wish to know love and freedom. On that note...

Every picture you have of someone is late, so it is better you don't have any picture, because the love is always here. Our minds treat each other like objects, but you are more like an evolving subject. It means that there is no end to your being, infinite possibilities are there. Don't think you know what is best for you, just have the feeling that there is a power in the Universe that is totally loving and caring for you. You don't have to be sailing the boat by yourself ...all the time... you can let go a little bit. -Moojibaba Pertinent wisdom as we move into one of the most potentially triggering times of the year. @babaramdass was well known for this ever-relatable egoic-chop: If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family. In the company of those who know exactly how to push our buttons, we have the chance to be shown the dark, shadowed places where we still cling to the lie of separation. See this as an opportunity for further uncovering and the continued shedding of our personal attachments. Make use of this time to discover: where do we abuse? Where do we enable? And why? How does Iove express in a difficult and patterned situation? Does love sweep the same habitual tendency under the rug one more time? Does it use the language of shame and blame to express one’s needs and further embed disconnection? Or does it see clearly, express tactfully and set boundaries appropriately? Even amidst the challenges and seeming polarization that we collectively face, this moment can be a powerful gift for our inner growth, if we are open and willing to have our own mental concepts and arrogance undone. Blessings to all. See more

Why gift Ayurveda? The beautiful gift that Ayurveda offers to us is it’s revelation of our true nature, underneath the conditioning of personality, body, mind, time and environment. Although Ayurveda is said to be 5000-7000 years old, the truth is that Ayurveda is in fact timeless. Being the #scienceoflife, Ayurveda exists beyond time and space, and therefore permeated this manifestation even before it was understood and transcribed by the ancient Rishis so very long ago.... With the uncovering of our true Self, we embody the power of knowing that we, as pure #Source, as #pureConsciousness, are the real and most powerful medicine that we could ever seek. Ayurveda offers us the lived understanding that what we seek is not outside, or even apart from the core of who we are. All the answers are at our disposal. So, when you give the gift of a @rasa_ayurveda product, an online course or an #AyurvedicConsultation by @tiffany.nicholson.smith, you are empowering your loved ones to realign with #MotherNature & their own nature, with the potential to shed the layers of false identification, of personhood-calcification, so that they might uncover the secret of secrets; that their soul essence is exactly the cure they were seeking all along. There is still time to shop our #apothecary in time for Christmas delivery within Canada. We encourage you to make your purchases TONIGHT (Dec. 16) or TOMORROW (Dec. 17) to ensure your gifts arrive by Dec. 24th. And we thank you for your support, kindness and love this holiday season. Jai Ayurveda rasa-ayurveda.com
