You mentioned canned and frozen foods. Would that include something like a can of plain organic beans and a bag of organic frozen spinach? Or do you mean more processed canned and frozen foods? Just trying to wrap my Kapha head around the eating part of this. Thanks for the video 🙏 easy to watch and listen to. Will have to watch more now 🙂
Hi Rocco! Great question! There is a little gray area in this. Mainly when I mention frozen foods and canned goods I'm talking about precooked-frozen meals, soups, stews.. canned beans could also be included. Flatly, yes anything canned or frozen with have less ojas then its fresher counter part. However, convenience plays a role in what we're able to make and consume depending on our schedules so if frozen vegetables and canned beans are the only way for you to consume, then yes eat the frozen veggies and canned beans. None of us are perfect, so don't be too hard on yourself. For the canned beans, be sure to give them a good rinse before adding them into a meal or eating them. **If you're imbalance and want to work on rebuilding ojas, then I would not recommend eating any canned or frozen goods. But if you're healthy, moderation is OK. Beans are best bought in bulk, soaked overnight, and appropriately spiced while cooking for best digestion and highest ojas energy. :) One of the reasons I love Ayurveda so much is because it challenges us to become aware of our food, body and how we uniquely function from different food and practices. It also works towards strengthening our connection to not only our food, but the natural world as a whole and our own individual self. :)) Let me know if you have any questions! I rambled a bit there at the end haha
Clareminded, that’s great, thx! I’ll try to get used to cooking them. I didn’t really know about any Ayurvedic principles until I read Conscious Eating by Gabriel Cousins. Looking forward to learning more. And rambling is good when it evidences your passion and excitement! 🙏
Never had a word for it, but I can always tell by looking in the mirror in my own eyes, Do I look bright and sharp and alert, or do I look dull, sluggish and disconnected from myself
Ojas is protected when we are able to live in the present moment with pure, detached awareness. Also you should add planet ayurveda’s herbal services in your life for better health.
charlie hanna 😂 orgasms are great! Just moderate ;) or recycle and absorb to circulate the energy rather than allowing it to deplete you. Lots of love xx
Chris Lambrou that could totally be! If your feeling a bit to stable and stuck or lazy you could have an excess amount. In that case wrk in strengthening your Prana and tejas. Maybe some breath of fire and eating light fresh salads. Happy Ojas :)
Hannah Widmer great question! It can always vary with the seasons, but typically sesame is best for vata, coconut for pitta, and sunflower or mustard oil for kapha
Wow, Indians should be knowing this. But not all of them know this now. Infact, people have forgotten Ayurveda's importance since British rule.
Yes, learning more about Ayurveda's history throughout India has been a blessing. I'm grateful to have found it :)

Sex is prohibited when your ojas is low. Brahmcharya must be followed.
Very informative my friend! Inspired to bring in some more cooked veggies and keep orgasms to a reasonable amount haha xx
