Ayurvedic Cooking, your personalized guide to nutrition and health. In Ayurveda, medicine and diet are seen as a complimentary and vital synergy that creates health or harms health. The diet has a powerful effect on physical health, mental clarity and spiritual progress. It is an integral part of a successful practice. Food such as grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds, beans, herbs, and roots are seen as the vital carriers and balancers of the vital energy (prana) in the body. They believe the power of these foods manifest only when used in proper combinations and in complete conformance with the individual’s unique constitution (dosha). In this experiential seminar you will learn to tailor recipes and menus for your dosha and even learn to cook meals that work for any dosha.
Spring is around the corner and your body demands a new balance.
The trees are warming and the sap is flowing. As winter weather softens and the warmth and freshness of spring arrives our bodies naturally lose some of the weight that was put on as insulation and drop fats, the Kapha constitution that is more active during winter. The liver drops excess bile and toxins and the body naturally turns to lighter fare. You may even lose your appetite for a short period of time. This is the natural time of the year for a short cleanse and fast and many traditions around the world encourage a short spring clean and fast.
Ayurveda considers the spring one of the most important times for an annual cleanse to keep the body in tip top shape. Eating light sour and bitter tastes to natural drop the fat and excess bile from the winter of fatty and heavier food choices. Limit sweets to drop weight and prepare for the spring. Tumeric, ginger, and lemon are good to support the liver and remove excess fat and bile from the body. Fenugreek is a good blood cleanser and consider using beets in your juice.

Travel can help and its close relative pilgrimage can increase your understanding of your place in the world and your path for meaning and importance. Life today is complicated and fast paced. Making time for a journey to broaden your experiences and contemplate your purpose and place in the world is a chance to free your mind and focus on the purpose of your life’s journey. You are guaranteed to make discoveries along the way, about yourself, about the human spirit, and the culture of the land you explore. A “pilgrimage” itself does not have to be for a religious context. Many people make pilgrimages, often to a shrine or place of significance, to experience spiritual enlightenment and deeper understanding of their beliefs. But it also can introduce you to more fun, joy, people, cultures and activities that you have never been exposed to before. It can be lofty or just joyous fun you are the creator of your adventure. You can create expansion, self-discovery, and broadening of your experiences of people, life, cultures and this human experience.
While most people start with some sort of goal or purpose in their travels or especially in a pilgrimage we don’t always get or understand our purpose. At other times we may just start out with wanting to have fun and relax and be surprised by the insights that develop. Sometimes, the purpose isn’t clear until reflection upon completion of the journey!
