This is part two of a Q & A session all about food and daily immersion of Ayurvedic practices.

Join Angela in this solo episode: Evening Rituals. It's so beautiful to bookend our days with both morning and evening rituals because those transitions from sleep to wake and then wake to sleep are potential places for magic to happen in our lives. As a follow-up to the previous Morning Rituals episode, Angela shares simple evening rituals that take 5 minutes or less.

In this episode, learn more about:

• Ayurveda follows the path of moderation, and transitions are a huge part of that

• The more that you do this, the more those moments invite you in and you can just surrender to them

• Examples of 3 simple rituals that take 5 minutes or less

• A reminder to leave tech out of the bedroom (or at least on airplane mode!)

• An invitation to choose 1 of the 3 simple rituals and practice it consistently for 1 week

If you would like more support on these rituals and the overall transitional times of life, please check out The Simple Ayurveda Collective here: https://simpleayurveda.com/membership/

Have you ever wondered what's on an Ayurvedic intake form or what exactly a practitioner is looking for in your answers? In this episode Angela explains the details and why you might learn something about yourself just from looking at your own responses.

This episode comes from a training in the upcoming Simple Ayurveda Alignment Mentorship, a six-week guided group class with opportunity to add on a personalized 1:1 consultation. It will run as a live group beginning April 5th and running through May 17th, then offered as a self-paced course.

Angela would love to help support you on your Ayurvedic journey! She also has some amazing guest teachers who will be joining and providing support:

• Justicia - 30 min body-alignment based yoga flow

• Shivani - EFT practice

• Sonja - yoga nidra on agni (supporting digestion)

Join Angela and guest Brandy Searcy in this episode: PUFAS Explained.

In today’s episode, Angela and Brandy Searcy are talking about cooking oils and oils used for self-massage (Abhyanga) in the context of essential fatty acids. With so much recent controversy around omega-6 and why you should avoid them in your diet, Brandy shares the truth about these fatty acids. Spoiler alert: you need both of them for your health.

Learn more about:
• why omega-3 and omega-6 are both necessary for your health
• which botanical and vegetable oils are rich in each of these & how to use these oils in your diet
• what factors into an oil’s shelf life
• what ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 to target in your diet

Brandy Searcy's a pharmaceutical formulation development scientist who truly discovered Ayurveda in 2020 when she decided to cure Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Having been diagnosed with this autoimmune thyroid condition in 2018, she wasn’t happy with living with Western medicine’s approach to this condition and picked up Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum’s book “Healing the thyroid with Ayurveda.”

Intrigued by many of the connections Dr. Teitelbaum made in this book, specifically the way of looking at your body holistically rather than individual wheels and cogs to be cut and chopped and reassembled whenever one part malfunctioned, Brandy decided to learn more about Ayurveda.

After implementing some of the dinacharya recommendations and her diet (specifically eliminating raw and cold foods), she began to noticing such profound differences in the way she felt she fell head over heels for Ayurveda enrolling in an AHC program while taking courses offered by Dr. Vasant Lad and incorporating Ayurvedic principles into the skincare offered at Rain Organica.

A map is a representation. It’s a tool that can be static or fixed- like a piece of paper that you hold in your hand; but it can also be dynamic and changing- like your phone’s GPS. 

The ancient texts of Ayurveda are written records. That part is fixed. But how we use them has always been dynamic and changing.

Ayurveda Encompassed is a navigation system that combines specific maps and tools to support you in accessing new depths of your innate wisdom so that you learn to flourish in the seas of this new paradigm we’re all sailing in.

Learn more about:

• Curiousity as a pathway for more depth and wisdom in our lives
• The map that can deepen your understanding of physical symptoms so that you can resolve the original conflict
• The root cause of dis-ease beyond what you think of when it comes to agni and doshic balance
• Modern tools that help us understand nuance in Ayurvedic wisdom
• Transitioning from a hierarchical paradigm to a more harmonious, unity driven society

Understanding your natural gifts, talents and tendencies gives you more awareness in how to create alignment at work. Recognizing doshic tendencies in your boss, co-workers or employees will help you understand their thought processes and priorities so that you approach them from a place of understanding that will help you improve your communication and work relationships. This episode dives into the specific tools of using Ayurveda in the workplace.

Understanding and applying Ayurvedic concepts can help build a solid foundation for a deeper relationship with your mind, body and intuition.

The energies of the doshas are spread throughout the day during certain times. We can use this to our advantage by creating a daily rhythm that aligns with what’s already occurring in nature.

Join Angela in this solo episode: Ahimsa, Ayurveda, Veganism and the Gray Space.

This episode comes from countless conversations with yoga students, fellow practitioners, those on social media, in person classes, etc. It's something Angela has been curious about in her own life since beginning to practice Ayurveda 14 years ago, and she has been learning and getting to the root of what the teachings do say. There is some pushback from those who view Ayurveda and yoga through a particular lens. This is a hot topic for many people.

Wherever you stand, this is the Gray Space: where Angela chooses to live without being rigid and black & white in her thinking no matter what it is. It's important to her to zoom out and see things from all perspectives and empathize. This conversation was a former place of shame for Angela, and why she feels like she HAS to talk about it.

This episode encourages you to look at context when you're in conversations with people about Ayurveda, and ask things such as:
Who are you talking to?
Where are they at in their life?
What’s the next best thing?
What *is* ahimsa in this moment?

And then to begin to soften in any area where you feel rigid. Please share this episode with others and tag Angela on Instagram at @simple_ayurveda . The more that we're in this Gray Space and accepting of others, the more that we soften into this place of compassion and true ahimsa, the better the world is.


In this episode, learn more about:
• A simple introduction of what ahimsa is to start to think about it or revisit it
• An overview and explanation of who traditional Yogis were
• What Ayurveda is and what it's purpose is
• The history of yoga and how it became so closely tied to the concept of Veganism
• What is said in the Vedic texts about animal products
• Recognizing the Gray Space and consider the difference between discomfort and harm
• and more!

Join Angela in this solo episode: Living with Chronic Illness.

Tune in as Angela shares real life support for living with chronic illness going into what helped her process and work through her chronic illnesses and still come out the other side joyful, content, and accepting of what is, even the moments that are not joyful. Her hope is that this inspires you to understand that healing is a practice that we can’t always make sense of, that healing is a journey not a destination, and that day-to-day life is the spiritual lesson.

If you are not one with a chronic illness but you have someone in your life who does, perhaps this is an invitation to really let go of judgment when they're not there for you or they're not doing what you would expect. Just recognize that we all have struggles and not everyone's vocal about it.


In this episode, learn more about:
• Frustration at the linger aspects of chronic illness
• We can’t blame ourselves for having chronic illness because we don't’ know why we have the karma
• Softening victim mentality through acceptance + surrender
• Healing is a journey, not a destination
• The importance of allowing yourself to feel the emotions, then finding a way to process and move through them
• How it’s okay to understand you have different needs than most everyone else
• Embracing humor and accepting the quirks around living with chronic illness
• and more!
