Happy New Year!
What’s your journey going to look like this year?
Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC works with a large percentage of clients that burn the candle at both ends and don’t understand why they are getting sick.
Life is not a race. We need to stay in the moment, experience and enjoy where we are…being kind to our bodies, health and those around us.
To lead a simpler life is not a step backwards but a step forward in your overall health.
Let 2018 be the beginning of your journey to stop, look and really listen when someone talks to you…also pick one item off your to do list and DON’T DO IT! Do something for yourself like taking a walk in the outdoors (get out of the gym) or sit quietly for 20 minutes and sit with your thoughts.
If you have too much time on your hands and are feeling a bit depressed, try helping someone like an elderly neighbor that may need your assistance. What ever you choose…stay in the moment.
Repeat the mantra with long in and exhales: Slow down and feel
“Blockage is disease/Flow is health”

Almond Milk Chai…one of Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC favorites!
Sweet & hearty, almond milk chai is a rich and decadent treat on any winter’s eve. Aromatic spices bring cheer to the season. Serve at a holiday party as a healthy alternative to eggnog or hot cocoa.
Restore Peace & Tranquility
Almond milk’s cool, heavy sweetness creates a sensation of stability and calm as it nourishes your nervous system. After a night of insomnia, its liver nourishing qualities provide relief from lingering sleep deprived jitters. This almond drink is a great substitute to kick your coffee habit and replenish your adrenals. If the stress of the day leaves you feeling wiped – this drink is liquid comfort food that will help you decompress.
Soothes Your Digestive Tract
The creamy nature of almond milk, ghee and maple syrup soothes your digestive tract when you are inflamed. Almond milk’s cooling nature is a traditional remedy for ulcers and gastritis. Its demulcent, coating properties can also soothe a dry, irritated throat. For those suffering from lactose intolerance, a warm mug of almond chai is an excellent substitute that won’t cause digestive upset.
ingredients
1 c Almond Milk
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Ghee
1/4 inch Ginger (Fresh)
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
2 pinch Nutmeg
Preparation:
Bring almond milk to a simmer, uncovered. Watch closely as milk starts to heat up, as almond milk overflows the pot if it boils. As soon as almond milk starts to simmer, remove from heat and add spices. Brew for 3-5 minutes and serve.
For a fresher, tastier result, make your own almond milk from scratch using this recipe.
Enjoy!!

THE THREE PHASES OF LIFE – By Vishnu Om
#Ayurveda is a preventative system of medicine and health care but also a guide to support you in optimal living.
How we choose to live our lifestyle will determine if we will incur disease or redirect it.
Our lifestyle should be a reflection of our life, and our life should be supported by choices that enliven us versus enslave us.
As we live according to the daily cycle, seasonal cycle, annual cycle, lunar cycle and life cycles, we can recycle the breath over and over again with more joy and less sorrow but ultimately more peace and ease.
Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC encourages you to be the red umbrella when faced with choices. Your health will thank you and so will those around you

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC welcomes the Winter Solstice…
We are all deeply affected by the change of seasons, even if we often don’t notice or acknowledge it. It can affect us in so many ways, from our mood, to our energy levels and even our health and wellbeing.
We experience internal changes. These include craving heavier food, sluggish digestion, drier skin, a need for more hydration, feelings of sadness, melancholy and lethargy, and a desire to spend more time indoors and sleeping. These are all signs that we are out of balance. With some care and fundamental practices we can overcome these imbalances.
Knowing how to best support ourselves during these pivotal seasonal shifts is invaluable to our immunity and overall health. With mindfulness and the science of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, we can nourish our bodies and minds and easily flow with these seasonal shifts.
Through the lens of Ayurveda, winter doesn’t need to be the ‘cold and flu season’, but rather a season to improve immunity – not only in the physical, but also in psychological and spiritual. Immunity is connected with digestion. When digestion is strong and the appetite is good, immunity is strengthened.
Minimize your intake of foods such as raw vegetables, salad greens and cold drinks. Think indoors, by the fire or under a warm blanket, eating warm, slow-cooked nourishing meals.
Here are a few tips:
* Ensure adequate sleep, with six to eight hours a night being the ideal. Avoid over sleeping, as this will promote sluggishness in the body
*Use pure essential oil to clear the air. Eucalyptus oil aids breathing and helps release congestion
*Get your daily dose of sunlight – take walks, gaze at the sun
* Tell the people you love that you love them, give hugs, and bring family, friends and communities together.
