Episode 003 Show Notes: Ayurveda with Malia Wright
/In this seriously ENLIGHTENING episode, I interview Malia Wright, an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, all about Ayurveda and how we can simply incorporate it into our daily lives.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old science. The word Ayurveda literally means the “science of life.” Ayurveda is about tuning into yourself, your environment, the seasons, your mindset, how you eat, and more, in order to find the best balance for you. It’s about tuning into yourself and your life to understand how to balance yourself with the energies in this world — Air, Ether, Water, Fire, & Earth.
In this episode, Malia walks us through her journey from her intense “go, go, go” lifestyle to slowing down and discovering — and now practicing and teaching — Ayurveda.
What are a few misconceptions of Ayurveda?
While food and digestion are a large part of Ayurveda — because they are a large part of life — Ayurveda is not a diet or part of diet culture. It’s bigger than that!
Ayurveda can be overwhelming because there are so many tools and “tasks” associated with the practice, but in this episode Malia teaches us how we can simply incorporate it into our daily lives — from drinking warm water with lemon in the morning to meditating to everything in between.
Ayurvedic body/mind type quizzes can be helpful guides, but keep in mind that we are all — by nature — a combination of all 3 doshas, and that while we may be primarily one dosha, we can experience an imbalance in any of the doshas.
What is abundant wellness?
Abundant wellness is really about giving yourself grace, being adaptable, and understanding — and being OK with the fact — that sometimes things are great and sometimes they just aren’t. The feminine form of healing is a great guide toward abundant wellness in that it’s all about being so in tune with ourselves that we 1) learn how to balance ourselves with the energies in this world and 2) understand we are already whole and have everything we need.
What are the Ayurvedic body & mind types (doshas)?
Vata: Air + Ether
Kapha: Earth + Water
Pitta: Fire + Water
