31 Dec Ayurvedic Beauty Rituals
‘Ayurveda is like a Mother. She tends to you. Then, she teaches you how to tend to yourself.’
-Angelica Farmer
Ayurveda is known as the original Green Medicine. It is both an Art and a Science, it is both Ancient and current. Ayurveda, the Science of life and longevity gives us a roadmap on how to live a life that is in rhythm with Mother Nature, and in return our True Nature is awakened. Ayurveda celebrates and acknowledges that we are all one of a kind, Divine sparks of creation to never be made again in all of time.
Ayurveda celebrates and acknowledges that our five senses of; seeing, tasting, touching, smelling, and hearing are the gateways, the portals of how we know the world around us and within us. Ayurveda celebrates and acknowledges that our senses are Sacred and Holy, and they need deep nourishment.
One of our Divine senses is our sense of touch. Touch is our first language. Touch is connected to our hands, hearts, skin, immune & nervous system. Our skin is the first barrier between us and everything else, our skin is part of our immune and nervous system, and our hands in which we touch are direct extensions of our hearts.
One of the Beauty Rituals of Ayurveda is Body Oiling. The word for Oil in Sanskrit is Sneha, or Snehana and its literal translation is Love. Oil is Love. When we combine our own loving hands, the power of touch to our skin with herbal oils we are participating in a radical act of self love and self care. We are remembering this wisdom belongs to the people, and belongs in everyone’s toolkit right in the comfort of their own homes. To Oil your body is to Love your body. Oil is Love.
