Let’s talk about spring

Let’s talk about spring from an Auyevedic persepective

East Indian Medicine

  • sister science of yoga
  • life knowledge
  • self knowledge

intuitive awareness we have about how to take care of our selves

a rhythm

better understanding

how do the behaviors we have reflect or not reflect what nature was doing

I think sometimes we forget we are also part of nature as humans

We need to be nourished and take of nature as well and

  • food growing out of the ground
  • taking care of it
  • part of nature
  • part of the creations

Springtime is thought of as Mud Season

I never grew up calling it that in Michigan it fits so well here and it actually fits with the 

Ayurvedic definition is 

corelated

Kapha Dosha

the way energy shows up in all things

Kapha is really the combination of

earth and water

when you mix earth and water you get mud

the way it shows up in the season it’s obvious

things growing

water is gonna be nourishing the seeds in the ground soon we’re gonna have

mustard greens

season of

  • congestion
  • excess fluid in the lungs
  • maybe gonna get spring cold
  • can feel a bit stuck in their bodies

good time to grab a partner and join something to do something new

accountablity

That kapha energy can feel like mud in our bodies

But the cool thing is it provides us a lot of endurance

We might be resistance to change

we have a capacity for it right now

in springtime

March 15th, 2018 Arugua ready to eat!

I have sprouts growing already, we just planted and I have tiny leaves that are ready to put on your sandwich or in your soup they didn’t take much to grow at all?! Let’s talk about mustard greens….

I wanna do a tangent here

in Michigan maybe out here in Montana too.

There is this an evasive called garlic mustard.

Do you know about garlic mustard?

No

people are grabbing it and uprooting it

somebody thought it was good

tastes like garlic and mustard

mustard greens you buy in the store have that similar puncency.

pungency

wonderings

Do you know what happens and you bite into arugula?

Is there a sparky ness and does your mouth sort of pucker?

I find the baby arugula is not as bitter as when they grow more?

So it’s a little more palatable?

Yes.

But that bitter taste can kind of it kind of wakes us up

Like you said, it makes you feel alive

Kapha Dosha earth and water there’s no fire in that combo

We need something to be a little sharper in that combo

and mustard greens do that, we need that sharp flavor

I’ve been putting them in my smoothie in the morning

People put

  • ginger in their smoothie
  • cayenne pepper
  • has that same kick

gonna be really pungent

You want to be mindful they have such a strong kick you want to use a bit less of them.

If you are gonna use

  • arugula
  • mustard greens

just switching over

arugula is a bitter green as well. If you are not ready to try something like a mustard green might do something like kale or arugula

Or if you are just starting to incorporate greens into your diet is a good idea because 

is gonna start to clean that gunk that has clogged the channels from winter.

Smoothie recipe

part from my friend Angela Christman  up in Canada!

her High Vibe Tribe!

Basically made her smoothie and then added

first morning I added 2 mustard green leaves

could not drink

  • whole or half an avacado
  • apple
  • need a high powered blender
  • juice of one lime
  • peeled ginger
  • cup of coconut water and almost milk blend till smoothie
  • add
  • applesauce instead of an apple if you have an old blender like we used to
  • powdered ginger
  • tumeric
  • honey

It’s just a way to start incorporating some of these flavors that help us to digest appropriately for the season.

I am happier to talk more about that like we talked about before we hit record

easier to add things then subtract things

not ready to give up the heavier things from winter.

stoke up your digestive fire

process your foods more easily

  • eliminate well
  • move well
  • feel alive

Ayurveda Ayur means life  and veda means knowledge

The interesting thing about sanscripts

  • phonetic language
  • use symbols
  • that we don’t have
