Ever tried to explain the taste of an apple to someone who’s never had one? Or describe a sunset to someone who’s never seen one? It’s pretty impossible, right? Meditation is exactly the same! You can read all the books in the world, but until you experience it, it’s all just theory. This is why we’re going on an adventure together, where experiencing meditation firsthand is our number one goal. Don’t worry about “getting it” just yet; just let yourself feel it. When you see our special emoji crew 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏽‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏿‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏽‍♀️, it’s your cue to pause, close your eyes, and dive in. Take a minute, five, or even ten – whatever feels right for you. Ready to bite into the apple of meditation? Let’s go! 🍎🌅

Ayurveda Recipes: Spicy Pumpkin Chai

Autumn is a season of deficiency and change, provoking higher stress levels. Your body needs help weathering the changes of autumn. Nourishing, seasonal foods like pumpkin and nervines like nutmeg make you feel calm and stable. Pumpkin and nutmeg are both mild sedatives, so they work beautifully together to reduce stress.
Choose an evening in, sipping steaming Pumpkin Chai over constant socialization. Wearing yourself ragged keeping up with October’s social calendar can result in compromised immunity for flu season come November. Focusing attention inward frees up energy to help your body prepare for winter. According to Ayurveda, keeping your nervous system stable through fall is your No. 1 tool for maintaining strong immunity and staying healthy.
Ingredients
2 tbsp GHEE
2 tbsp RAW SUGAR
1 c PUMPKIN
1/2 c ALMOND MILK
1/4 tsp CINNAMON
1/4 tsp GINGER (DRIED)
2 pinch NUTMEG
2 pinch CLOVES
1 pinch SALT (MINERAL SALT)

1. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Baking makes the skin peel easily.
2. Chop and mix the pumpkin with the almond milk and spices and puree in a blender.
3. Bring to a boil in a saucepan and serve warm.
