“Prana is Maharasayana”
Vaidya Mishra frequently reminded us: “ALL we really need is Prana to address ANY/ALL ailments!” Prana can help where the most sacred most divine herbs may fail – and without prana NOTHING can help. In the Shaka Vanshiya tradition of Ayurveda that is thousands of years old, we learn what Prana is, in its integrality, the most fundamental and constitutional building block of EVERYTHING under the sun – INCLUDING THE SUN! Prana, truly is ALL THERE IS! Without Prana there can be no life of any form or substance in the universe. Prana is the first most refined most subtle manifestation of the universe as it materializes. It is the best rasayana because it is the building block of the universe: it re-juvenates, re-stores life in every cell, tissue, organ, and organ-system in the body… No detox, no herbal protocol, no healing program, no-thing (!) AT ALL will help unless there is prana involved first and foremost…
SO WHAT REALLY IS PRANA?
If you do an online search in Wikipedia, for example, here is what you will find: “In yoga, Ayurveda, and Indian martial arts, prana (प्राण, prāṇa; the Sanskrit word for breath, “life force“, or “vital principle”) permeates reality on all levels including inanimate objects. In Hindu literature, prāṇa is sometimes described as originating from the Sun and connecting the elements.” Ok: so prana permeates everything, it is a vital force, or breath. What else?
Or More:
V.S. Apte provides fourteen different meanings for the Sanskrit word prāṇa (प्राण) including breath or respiration; the breath of life, vital air, principle of life (usually plural in this sense, there being five such vital airs generally assumed, but three, six, seven, nine, and even ten are also spoken of); energy or vigour; the spirit or soul.” Ok things get a little more complicated now with so many “types of prana”… but what else?
“Of these meanings, the concept of “vital air” is used by Bhattacharyya to describe the concept as used in Sanskrit texts dealing with pranayama, the manipulation of the breath. Thomas McEvilley translates prāṇa as “spirit-energy”. The breath is understood to be its most subtle material form, but is also believed to be present in the blood, and most concentrated in semen and vaginal fluid.” SO WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT PRANA IS… And apparently scholars are very divided on the nitty-gritty of what prana really is besides the concept of breath… Conclusion: it is really hard to get a clear understanding of such a central concept without getting lost in intellectual quandaries….
But Vaidya Mishra gave us a very simple very encompassing and thorough understanding and explanation of prana. It is thorough because you understand how it works on ALL levels of life, it literally encompasses everything we are and do in a very practical manner. And he also taught us how to harness more prana so we can live life in more balance and bliss!
Want to find out what Prana really means? And how you can have more prana in your daily life to be healthier calmer and happier? Learn how you can harness prana and use it as a maha-rasayana: to rejuvenate your body, mind, AND spirit! Click on the image below to watch a short video.
Samadhi Marma – as taught by Vaidya Mishra – is a simple 5 minute technique that you can practice anytime of day to invite more prana in your body and mind. It will help you regain “control” of life! It is an integral part of the ancient science of Ayurveda, and specifically of Marma therapy – the healing knowledge of energetic flow in the body.
Our bodies run on cosmic energy – PRANA – that flows through us every second of our lives. When, due to environmental stressors as well other factors such as diet, overuse or misuse of our senses, our bodies become imbalanced, then the flow of prana gets mitigated. Depending on our body’s propensity, prana may flow less in some or other areas – everybody is unique! This is why the ancient healers could heal WITHOUT herbs – just by harnessing the flow of prana to specific areas.
Vaidya Mishra has re-enlivened this powerful knowledge for us and has presented it in a practical easy way.
The Samadhi Course teaches how to harness the power of Prana in 5 minutes.

Vaidya Mishra also made some ayurvedic herbal remedies that help restore the flow of prana by addressing the shrotas (physical channels) and nadis (vibrational channels). Choose between the transdermal cream or roll-on, or the spray, or the Nectar drops – add 3-5 drops in a glass of 10oz of water and breeeeeathe!
ADD 3 DROPS OF Prana Balance Herbal-Memory Nectar TO A GLASS OF 10 oz SPRING WATER
Calms and Focuses the Mind
Prana Vata is the subdosha of vata seated in the head which, in its balanced state, helps us to think clearly and use our sense organs properly. Vaidya Mishra says that one reason we call this subdosha prana vata is because most of the reception of universal prana happens in the head. In a real sense, prana vata is the master prana of the body. Thus, it’s imperative to keep prana vata steady and calm, yet alert and focused.
Prana Balance Herbal-Memory Nectar contains several herbs that support prana vata. These herbs include both types of brahmi – bacopa monnieri and gotu kola. The main prabhava of these herbs (specific ultimate effect) is medhya (good for the mind). Whenever you find your mind racing, feeling stressed, or unfocused, bring it back to balance with Prana Balance Herbal-Memory Nectar.
Additional ingredient-Wise Properties and Actions
Ashwagandha is a famous adaptogenic herb that strengthens the nervous system and makes us better able to handle stress.
Jatamansihelps calm and steady the mind without heating the physiology.
Peppermint allows prana vata to flow unobstructed by gently opening the channels of the mind and brain.
Coriander helps cool the physiology and binds acidic toxins in the blood, which may be agitating the mind. It also eases in more soma – the lunar, cooling vibration that stabilizes the physiology and the mind.
“Prana Balance” (Vaidya Mishra’s proprietary herbal blend) above ingredients are in a kosher Vegetable glycerine base. 100% sugar and fat free.

Dear Ayurveda Appreciator,
Many of you have already experienced the deep rest, release of stress and clear transcendence with SV Ayurvedic Marma Therapy. Marma therapy helps to open up blocked channels, create mind/body connection and uplift the mind and emotions.
This winter, my treatment room is warm and toasty and I now have a new heating pad on the massage table. The session includes the use of transdermal herbal creams applied to over 36 marma points to help circulate prana and create an overall calming and balancing effect. The treatment is one-hour with 10 minutes of rest after.
I invite you to schedule a session this holiday season with $25 off the regular price of $150. I also have gift certificates in case you are looking for a gift for someone special in your life who would enjoy receiving this uplifting treatment. This discount is good through January 6th.
I have opened up a few time slots on Sunday which are only available through December. Here is my auto-scheduler or if you don’t see a time on there that suits feel free to reply here.
Nothing can help or cure us unless our digestive system is working optimally; reversely: nothing can ail us when our digestive system is working optimally! Ayurveda gives us beautiful details about how we can accomplish this. The details are beautiful because they restore our connection to Nature and its incredible complex detailed structures. For example: Ayurveda teaches us why it is important to Eat at certain times and fast at other times; eat specific things at specific times and avoid those same things at other times; eat with attention on the food; eat pranic food; eat foods prepared a certain way; etc – you get the idea!
In this light, Vaidya Mishra not only shared amazing recipes with us but he also taught us all those little details that make a world of a difference for more balance and bliss! The knowledge he shared with us was not only sublime and beautiful but it was also enlightening… So many would adopt new structures and routines in their diet, along with recipes, and sure enough, they would contact him back saying how not only their mind-set had shifted, but how their practice of yoga and meditation had improved tremendously AFTER they adopted SVA dietary guidelines and recipes.
Vaidya Mishra gave us so many delicious spice blends to use in the kitchen, specially the Mom’s Masala – a-ready-to-use pre-toasted blend of 20 herbs and spices that you can sprinkle on your food (no cooking needed) or even in your drinks (lime water, lassi, etc) or on top of fruit. If you have not tried them all out, you can order our rosewood sampler box to get a taste of each one.

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.

We have begun to produce brief, abridged, episodes for those of you who have little time or are too tired after a long day of work to listen to a full-length format, but don’t give up on the quest for the jewels of ancient ayurvedic knowledge.
The new SVA Short episodes are under 10 minutes in length but, as usual, are packed with deep knowledge and wisdom.
And to inaugurate our new short format, we have a playlist that will rejoice all of you. During the month of November, to learn all about Doshas and Sub-Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, plus Soma, Agni, and Marut, we are releasing a Trilogy.

Not anymore! Tune up to our November podcast’s Shorty but Witty episodes… We’ll see you there!

We all want to have him travel with us in this earthly journey, to help us in our decisions along the way, through the timeless wisdom and knowledge of SV Ayurved. And now we can! If you have not discovered our podcast channel yet, we invite you to look it up and explore the timeless teachings of SVAyurveda, as well as fabulous talks by other SVAyurveda doctors and educators.
Shorty but Witty!
The wit of Shaka Vanshyia Ayurveda is timeless and immutable, but time itself mutates… So, we are catching up with the changes and trends which challenge us in these modern times!
To adapt to this day and age when we seem to get frequently immersed in rushed routines and schedules with little time for learning, but when we need more than ever to acquire the knowledge that leads to the health, balance, and bliss that our rushed lifestyles want to take away from us, the SVA Podcast is delighted to announce “SVA Shorts”.
We have begun to produce brief, abridged, episodes for those of you who have little time or are too tired after a long day of work to listen to a full-length format, but don’t give up on the quest for the jewels of ancient ayurvedic knowledge.
The new SVA Short episodes are under 10 minutes in length but, as usual, are packed with deep knowledge and wisdom.
And to inaugurate our new short format, we have a playlist that will rejoice all of you. During the month of November, to learn all about Doshas and Sub-Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, plus Soma, Agni, and Marut, we are releasing a Trilogy.
What is Vat? (Friday, November 1st)
What is Pitt? (Friday, November 15th) and
What is Kaph? (Friday, November 29th)
This is the knowledge at the center-most pivotal point of Ayurveda and it is presented to you in a way in which only Vaidya Mishra can explain it; from the origin of Prana and its components Soma, Agni, and Marut.
Have you felt disarmed when listening to an explanation about a particular imbalance because you couldn’t wrap your head around the functions of a Sub-Dosha or felt confused when reading about the healing and balancing properties of our SVA formulations?
Not anymore! Tune up to our November podcast’s Shorty but Witty episodes… We’ll see you there!
We want to help you protect your purchase – there’s been an increase in lost/stolen packages.

This may be the most beautiful time of the year, but it certainly can be the most stressful as well as we try to organize family gatherings, cooking, and gifting on top of regular daily busi-ness! But did you know that this holiday season, you CAN stay cool and composed by learning an easy quick ancient technique called “Samadhi Marma?”
Samadhi may remind us of emaciated naked monks sitting in lotus position with their eyes shut trying to experience the divine within… This is the caricatural version! Did you know that the actual meaning of “samadhi” is “balanced mind”? Just exactly this: a mind that is neither overworked nor stressed, but is “sama” – or even, as an undisturbed ocean!
There are SO MANY MISCONCEPTIONS on what Samadhi is and how you can achieve it! For example, if you do a quick google search on how to achieve samadhi, this is what you get – samadhi can be attained through the practice of :
Conscious breathing
Meditating on the endless energy within
Nurturing each aspect of your being
Practicing non-attachment
Stoping to crave possessions
Practicing regularly with full attention
Say what? Come again??? Such claims and guidelines are enough to turn anybody away from EVER wanting to explore what samadhi could mean!
So what is Samadhi then? Vaidya Mishra explained that Samadhi characterizes a peaceful state of mind. He added: when the mind is in samadhi, it is in total bliss! What does that mean?
In the state of samadhi, the mind is both totally grounded in silence and fully active in the world without compromising either state. It experiences peace, yet is able to be engaged in the activities of the world without becoming flustered. You guessed right! Samadhi, the state of balanced intellect, is the ideal state the mind we all should be in 24/7! So how do you get that?
Do you need to live in a cave to attain samadhi?! Is it possible to attain such a state of peace and bliss amidst the chaos of the world? Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra from the 2nd century BCE, an ancient text of aphorisms on yogic practice says there are 4 ways or paths to Samadhi:
“One can attain siddh-samadhi through janm (birth) very effortlessly and naturally, having accumulated brighter sattva due to past karmic actions;
One can attain Samadhi due to aushadhi, the use of divine herbs such as brahmi, tulsi, arjuna, or ashoka;
through the repetition of a mantra – the structured use of pure sound vibrations;
and by means of tapas, abstinence from specific activities for the purpose of spiritual purification. Here is the actual verse in Sanskrit below:
Vaidya Mishra put together a beautiful protocol for us combining several of Patanjali’s precept. He created a course we call “Samadhi Marma” where you learn how to activate marma points through re-enlivening the flow of Prana into your body, and with the use of specific herbs suited for each marma point. The practice also includes the recitation of specific mantras.

SAMADHI MARMA
Samadhi Marma is a simple 5 minute technique that you can practice anytime of day to help regain “control” of yourself – your thoughts your emotions your body! It is an integral part of the ancient science of Ayurveda, and specifically of Marma therapy – the healing knowledge of energetic flow in the body.
Our bodies run on cosmic energy – PRANA – that flows through us every second of our lives.
When, due to environmental stressors as well other factors such as diet, overuse or misuse of our senses, our bodies become imbalanced, then the flow of prana gets mitigated. Depending on our body’s propensity, prana may flow less in some or other areas – everybody is unique!
This is why the ancient healers could heal WITHOUT herbs – just by harnessing the flow of prana to specific areas.
Vaidya Mishra has re-enlived this powerful knowledge for us and has presented it in a practical easy way.
The Samadhi Course teaches how to harness the power of Prana in 5 minutes.

Dear Ayurveda Appreciator,
Many of you have already experienced the deep rest, release of stress and clear transcendence with SV Ayurvedic Marma Therapy. Marma therapy helps to open up blocked channels, create mind/body connection and uplift the mind and emotions.
This winter, my treatment room is warm and toasty and I now have a new heating pad on the massage table. The session includes the use of transdermal herbal creams applied to over 36 marma points to help circulate prana and create an overall calming and balancing effect. The treatment is one-hour with 10 minutes of rest after.
I invite you to schedule a session this holiday season with $25 off the regular price of $150. I also have gift certificates in case you are looking for a gift for someone special in your life who would enjoy receiving this uplifting treatment. This discount is good through January 6th.
I have opened up a few time slots on Sunday which are only available through December. Here is my auto-scheduler or if you don’t see a time on there that suits feel free to reply here.
Nothing can help or cure us unless our digestive system is working optimally; reversely: nothing can ail us when our digestive system is working optimally! Ayurveda gives us beautiful details about how we can accomplish this. The details are beautiful because they restore our connection to Nature and its incredible complex detailed structures. For example: Ayurveda teaches us why it is important to Eat at certain times and fast at other times; eat specific things at specific times and avoid those same things at other times; eat with attention on the food; eat pranic food; eat foods prepared a certain way; etc – you get the idea!
In this light, Vaidya Mishra not only shared amazing recipes with us but he also taught us all those little details that make a world of a difference for more balance and bliss! The knowledge he shared with us was not only sublime and beautiful but it was also enlightening… So many would adopt new structures and routines in their diet, along with recipes, and sure enough, they would contact him back saying how not only their mind-set had shifted, but how their practice of yoga and meditation had improved tremendously AFTER they adopted SVA dietary guidelines and recipes.
Vaidya Mishra gave us so many delicious spice blends to use in the kitchen, specially the Mom’s Masala – a-ready-to-use pre-toasted blend of 20 herbs and spices that you can sprinkle on your food (no cooking needed) or even in your drinks (lime water, lassi, etc) or on top of fruit. If you have not tried them all out, you can order our rosewood sampler box to get a taste of each one.
But in case you are interested in learning more about food being your primary medicine, we now have available a course Vaidya taught in 2008 in Florida. Scroll down to see the content of the course. If you would like to sign up, click on the image below or here

BONE HEALTH WORKSHOP NEWS
If you missed our Bone Health Workshop with Elizabeth Innes, you can now watch it HERE
200 people enrolled for Elizabeth’s Bone Health Workshop. After the presentation we had an hour long Q&A session.
Elizabeth’s training as a pharmacist coupled with her ayurvedic expertise made for a super informative and insightful session on bone health. There is so much information out there about what to do, supplements, protocols, etc. It becomes very hard to distinguish between what works and what can even harm. Sometimes you just need to adjust your daily routine and dietary protocols do get better results. And some time-tested ayurvedic wisdom always comes in handy!

Schedule a one-on-one with Elizabeth and discuss what’s going on with you, and receive more tips on a healthy SVA diet, bone health, and other ayurvedic topics, email her: info@elizabethinnes.ca
Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.

Have you felt disarmed when listening to an explanation about a particular imbalance because you couldn’t wrap your head around the functions of a Sub-Dosha or felt confused when reading about the healing and balancing properties of our SVA formulations?
Not anymore! Tune up to our November podcast’s Shorty but Witty episodes… We’ll see you there!
We want to help you protect your purchase – there’s been an increase in lost/stolen packages.
To protect your shipment – in case your shipping address is not secure – we have now added the “signature delivery” option upon check-out on www.chandika.com and we highly recommend you select it to ensure your package is guaranteed to reach you after it leaves our warehouse. Kindly note we are unable to replace stolen/misplaced packages once they are confirmed delivered by the carrier of your choice.
Good news: THIS is the season when it is ok to eat whatever you crave – with one caveat! Vaidya Mishra used to say: “don’t try to eliminate your craving, as they are an indication of what your body needs.” “BUT,” he added: “if you are craving sugar, choose “good wholesome unprocessed sweets or sugar; if you are craving salty and crunchy, don’t reach out for those bagged chips and snacks laden with chemicals…”
This is why the first step is NOT to buy and have handy things you know who fall for when the craving hits! Second step is, when you have some down time or on the weekends, prep and make some snacks. Autumn is the time of year when Vata dosha goes high due to the sun’s journey southwards. As the weather cools off trapping pitta in our shrotas or physical channels, Vata gets thrown off and your alternate cravings for sweet, salty, tangy, crunchy, go off the chart! You will crave one, then the next, then that again, and then the other! Better to be prepared than regret things later when you start to feel heavy and bloated and then tired and irritable etc!
We are fortunate because Vaidya gave us lots of delicious recipes to help balance our doshas during the different seasons of the year, to help pacify our cravings, and satisfy our hunger as well.
Below is our popular “Nutty Tangy Cranberry Muffin” recipe – perfect for this time of year. Sweet, sour, crunchy and nutty, and so satisfying! And did you know how many benefits cranberries have? Let’s refresh our memory!
Did you know that cranberries are a power fruit? They are great for the eyes, cardiovascular health, and the urinary tract. Cranberry has not only been recognized as a disease-fighting fruit, it is also one of the highest ranked regularly consumed foods for antioxidant content per serving. Antioxidants protect cells from damage by oxidative stress and free radicals, damage that can lead to serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Some of the antioxidants found in cranberries include anthocyanins, ellagic acid, quercetin, resveratrol, selenium, and vitamins A, C and E.
Discover more health bestowing benefits with Vaidya’s
Cranberry Preserve (Vaidya Mishra’s proprietary recipe) with Organic Cranberries, Sweet Orange, and Organic Raw Sugar. Have it with toast or anytime of day. You can also add water and make it into a delicious drink.
The anthocyanins that is found in cranberries- the compound that gives cranberries their red color – also acts as a powerful antioxidant that may be stronger than vitamin E. Laboratory studies have shown that cranberry extract can reduce oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (so-called “bad” cholesterol), which can help maintain a healthy heart.
Cranberries also contain Proanthocyanidins – or PACs. PACs are flavonoid polyphenols found in many plants and fruits that have a number of health benefits, including:
Cardiovascular health: Proanthocyanidins may help protect the heart and cardiovascular system by reducing the risk of blood clots, lowering blood pressure, and working with vitamin C to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Anti-inflammatory: Proanthocyanidins can help fight inflammation and may protect gastric tissues from oxidative damage.
Antimicrobial: Proanthocyanidins can help prevent bacterial infections.
Anti-aging: Proanthocyanidins may have anti-aging properties.
Neuroprotective: Proanthocyanidins may be protective in some neurodegenerative diseases.
Anti-ulcer: Proanthocyanidins can help protect gastric tissues from oxidative damage, inflammatory responses, and apoptotic events associated with ulcers.
Intestinal health: Proanthocyanidins may help modulate intestinal dysfunction caused by diet.
Menopausal symptoms: Proanthocyanidins may help improve menopausal symptoms.
Renal function: Proanthocyanidins may help improve renal function.
Skin damage: Proanthocyanidins may help improve skin damage
Enjoy your Nutty Sweet and Tangy Cranberry Muffins – now that’s a good sweet treat to have this season in Vaidya Mishra’s standards!
Namaste…

Delicious Tridoshic Recipes
Nothing can help or cure us unless our digestive system is working optimally; reversely: nothing can ail us when our digestive system is working optimally! Ayurveda gives us beautiful details about how we can accomplish this. The details are beautiful because they restore our connection to Nature and its incredible complex detailed structures. For example: Ayurveda teaches us why it is important to Eat at certain times and fast at other times; eat specific things at specific times and avoid those same things at other times; eat with attention on the food; eat pranic food; eat foods prepared a certain way; etc – you get the idea!
In this light, Vaidya Mishra not only shared amazing recipes with us but he also taught us all those little details that make a world of a difference for more balance and bliss! The knowledge he shared with us was not only sublime and beautiful but it was also enlightening… So many would adopt new structures and routines in their diet, along with recipes, and sure enough, they would contact him back saying how not only their mind-set had shifted, but how their practice of yoga and meditation had improved tremendously AFTER they adopted SVA dietary guidelines and recipes.
Vaidya Mishra gave us so many delicious spice blends to use in the kitchen, specially the Mom’s Masala – a-ready-to-use pre-toasted blend of 20 herbs and spices that you can sprinkle on your food (no cooking needed) or even in your drinks (lime water, lassi, etc) or on top of fruit. If you have not tried them all out, you can order our rosewood sampler box to get a taste of each one.

200 people enrolled for Elizabeth’s Bone Health Workshop. After the presentation we had an hour long Q&A session.
Elizabeth’s training as a pharmacist coupled with her ayurvedic expertise made for a super informative and insightful session on bone health. There is so much information out there about what to do, supplements, protocols, etc. It becomes very hard to distinguish between what works and what can even harm. Sometimes you just need to adjust your daily routine and dietary protocols do get better results. And some time-tested ayurvedic wisdom always comes in handy!

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.
Learn How to Care for the Liver – from the SV Ayurveda Perspective

These factors include diet and digestion; AS WELL AS emotions; PLUS environmental toxins; EMFs; and synthetic ingredients in most personal-care products. Vaidya Mishra also teaches us how to keep the liver healthy and manage its disorders through food, herbs, marma therapy, detoxification, rejuvenation procedures, and vibrational medicine, including the use of mantras (primordial sounds with specific known effects).

STOREWIDE SALE & FREE SHIPPING – Happy Thanks-Giving!
Gratitude is a mental attitude… surely someone somewhere must have said that! The point is: it is easy to complain and moan over the glass being half- empty; it takes conscious effort to acknowledge what we have been so generously given and to take things for granted. When you think you have little to be grateful for, perhaps you are missing the big picture… Sometimes we have to make a conscious effort to see the glass as half full… For that we need all the life-supporting modalities of ancient Vedic Culture, and most of all Ayur-Veda. Ayurveda teaches us that the mind (and negativity in the mind) might just be a reflection of dosha imbalance, clogged channels, low agni, etc. The science and knowledge of how to live a purposeful and happy life despite any challenging conditions might be easier than you think – with Ayurveda! Scroll down and discover courses with Vaidya Mishra to learn how you can incorporate (more) ayurveda into your life for more bliss and balance!
Happy Thanks-Giving to one and all – Namaste!

But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.
Learn How to Care for the Liver – from the SV Ayurveda Perspective

STOREWIDE SALE & FREE SHIPPING – Happy Thanks-Giving!
Gratitude is a mental attitude… surely someone somewhere must have said that! The point is: it is easy to complain and moan over the glass being half- empty; it takes conscious effort to acknowledge what we have been so generously given and to take things for granted. When you think you have little to be grateful for, perhaps you are missing the big picture… Sometimes we have to make a conscious effort to see the glass as half full… For that we need all the life-supporting modalities of ancient Vedic Culture, and most of all Ayur-Veda. Ayurveda teaches us that the mind (and negativity in the mind) might just be a reflection of dosha imbalance, clogged channels, low agni, etc. The science and knowledge of how to live a purposeful and happy life despite any challenging conditions might be easier than you think – with Ayurveda! Scroll down and discover courses with Vaidya Mishra to learn how you can incorporate (more) ayurveda into your life for more bliss and balance!
Happy Thanks-Giving to one and all – Namaste!

NEW ONLINE COURSE
watch from the comfort of your home at your own pace…
Nothing can help or cure us unless our digestive system is working optimally; reversely: nothing can ail us when our digestive system is working optimally! Ayurveda gives us beautiful details about how we can accomplish this. The details are beautiful because they restore our connection to Nature and its incredible complex detailed structures. For example: Ayurveda teaches us why it is important to Eat at certain times and fast at other times; eat specific things at specific times and avoid those same things at other times; eat with attention on the food; eat pranic food; eat foods prepared a certain way; etc – you get the idea!
In this light, Vaidya Mishra not only shared amazing recipes with us but he also taught us all those little details that make a world of a difference for more balance and bliss! The knowledge he shared with us was not only sublime and beautiful but it was also enlightening… So many would adopt new structures and routines in their diet, along with recipes, and sure enough, they would contact him back saying how not only their mind-set had shifted, but how their practice of yoga and meditation had improved tremendously AFTER they adopted SVA dietary guidelines and recipes.
Vaidya Mishra gave us so many delicious spice blends to use in the kitchen, specially the Mom’s Masala – a-ready-to-use pre-toasted blend of 20 herbs and spices that you can sprinkle on your food (no cooking needed) or even in your drinks (lime water, lassi, etc) or on top of fruit. If you have not tried them all out, you can order our rosewood sampler box to get a taste of each one.
But in case you are interested in learning more about food being your primary medicine, we now have available a course Vaidya taught in 2008 in Florida. Scroll down to see the content of the course. If you would like to sign up, click on the image below or here

More Deeper Rejuvenative Sleep: Choose Your Favorite Formulation!
Sleep and Detox
What’s the Relationship?
There simply are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all we want or need to do, that’s why many of us end up cutting back on sleep: either sleep later or wake up earlier to get done all we need to. Is sleep a not-so-necessary pause that disrupts our creative life flow? Would it be possible to sleep less everyday so we could do more? Ayurveda teaches us that sleep is so much more than a mindless pause that helps restore the physical body for continued activity…It is much much more!
Modern science agrees on this as well, and it is easy to find countless research articles that cite the innumerable benefits of sleep. What’s the most interesting of the findings? It is proven conclusion that the brain needs sleep to wash off toxins created during the day’s activities. Yes, you read that right: sleep is detox! What does this mean? How is this sleep detox done?
Pioneering research has found that brain cells – glial cells – shrink during sleep to open up the interstitial gaps between neurons to allow fluid to flush out neurotoxins in the brain through a network of plumbing pipes - the glymphatic system. If the brain is not allowed this detox process through a proper continuous 8 hour cycle of sleep, toxic proteins may be formed and/or left behind – and these proteins may be playing a major role in chronic brain disorders such Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, or dementia.
So then sleep is so much more than a daily restorative pause. It is more of a necessary housekeeping where lethal neurotoxins are flushed out.
Did Ayurveda also talk about this? It sure did!
Shodhana and Rasayana
Vaidya Mishra not only emphasized the importance of regular sleep, he further elaborated not only on the “shodhana” or detox properties of sleep, but also on the “rasayana” or rejuvenative values of good sleep.
The detoxing and rejuvenative functions of sleep (“shodhana” and “rasayana”) have long been known in Ayurveda. The Carak Samhita Sutrasthana says that sleep or “svapn”, along with a healthy diet or “ahar,” as well as ethical balanced behavior or “Brahmacharya” are the 3 sub-pillars of life, or “traya upastambah:
The sutra states that with proper regular sleep the body gains “bala” or physical and mental stamina; its overall immunity is enhanced; complexion improves; digestive and post-digestive activities are optimal; the mind gets more balance and nourishment from the physiology ; there is overall improvement in the assimilation and transformation of activities on the cellular as well as vibrational levels.
So what does Ayurveda say about the relationship between sleep and detox?
Daily Detox through Sleep
Our bodies are deeply attuned to the environment we live in. In modern terms, we speak of the circadian rhythm: a 24 hour biological cycle that keeps organs and organ systems running in our bodies, in relation to the environment, and particularly the the day-night cycle of 24hours. Our cellular metabolic processes respond to and are regulated by this cycle.
In Ayurveda, the daily biological rhythm of the body is discussed in relation to dinacharya and ratricharya: day-time and night-time protocols respectively. The understanding of daily metabolic cycles in Ayurveda also relates to light, but goes beyond as well.
We know that ayurvedically speaking different portions of the day are said to carry distinct properties that affect our bodies and minds in different ways. The day is structured in portions that carry more or less of the 3 cosmic energies that make up everything under the sun. In Vaidya Mishra’s lineage these 3 cosmic energies are emphasized as key players for understanding and managing health. They are: Soma, Agni, and Marut.
*Soma: the creational principle of support and sustenance best symbolized by the Moon or lunar energy
*Agni: the principle of transformation best exemplified by solar energy
*Marut: best exemplified by space and air, this is the principle of movement
Ayurveda structures the day in sequential portions that carry more or less properties of Soma, Agni, or Marut. This is translated as the tendency to have or accumulate more or less imbalances of Kapha, Pitta, or Vata during a given day. This is how an ayurvedic day looks like:
*early morning, from 6am to 10am is more soma, it is kapha time
*from 10am to 2pm is agni predominant when the sun’s effect is highest on our physiology, and that is pitta time
*from 2pm to 6pm is more marut predominant, and that is vata time
The 24 hour day cycle is divided into mirror parts, but they oscillate between rest and activity. 12 hours of activity vs 12 hours of rest – this includes a couple of hours prepping up for and then coming off of high activity or deep rest. An ideal day is balanced between the 2 strokes of rest and activity.
While the early morning soma time from 6-10am is necessary to rev up the body to accomplish the day’s activities, the evening soma time extending from 6-10pm is to be used to calm it back down, unwind it, and ground it, prepping it for deep rejuvenative sleep.
When the evening time is properly used to calm down the nervous system, giving rest to the organs and organ systems, then the ensuing Agni predominant portion from 10pm to 2am, will be successful in performing its task of detox and transformation.
Ideally, our days are meant to be structured to alternate between rest and activity. During the day, when the sun has risen, our minds get engaged in our senses, our bodies become busy carrying out activities, our brains are fully aligned with our dynamic senses.
When the day wanes, if our awareness is attuned to Nature’s rhythm, our fatigued physical body and brain will understand that it is time to shift gears and ready the body for sleep. The sutra says:
When “manas” or the mind gets “klante,” fatigued, from activity or”karma,” enjoying the objects or “visyayebho” of the senses, then it wants to release itself (“nivartante”) of those objects by going into sleep or “svapiti.” This is the definition of sleep according to Ayurveda.
But do you find that sleeping through the night a problem? Can Ayurveda help?
Sometimes sleep can be the most elusive thing. No matter how tired we feel and want to sleep, we are not able to wind down, fall asleep, nor stay asleep. There are different ways to correct sleep imbalances, based on external and internal factors.
Sleeplessness occurs when the brain is unable to disconnect from the activities of the senses. When the brain remains engaged in the objects of the senses – something that happened during the day – either extremely exciting or stressful; a task that was unfinished; an emotional charge that remains unprocessed; a stressful thought that won’t leave you. Your mind keeps running the episode over and over again. Due to different hetu-s or original causes, people are not able to disconnect or detach their minds from their senses, and then sleep eludes us. There is not one way to correct a sleep imbalance, because there is not one reason that may cause insomnia. In SVA, Vaidya mishra insists on following the ”hetu ling aushadi gyanam” principle: first investigate and isolate the actual cause of the sleeplessness to be able to correct it fully and effectively.
In this sense, based on one’s physiology, there can be 3 distinct ways of approaching problems in sleep, each is based on one of the 3 cosmic energies, Soma, Agni, Marut, that get reduced to imbalances in our physiologies as Kapha, Pitta, and Vata, based on our body’s preference to receive more or less of each energy.
In general, it is good to turn down the lights, reduce the use of TV and computer, turn off the wifi in your home, and do gentle yogic exercise or meditation to ease the body into the rest period of the day. But here are specific guidelines for those who need a little more pacification.
VATA
Sleeplessness that is caused by too much Vata, or air and space accumulation, can result from:
*the overuse of EMF devices such as computers, cellphones, etc.
*from eating or drinking too much dry or drying foods or drinks (snacks, caffeinated drinks);
*from skipping meals or not eating enough, or eating on the go;
*eating too much pungent and spicy meals; or cold food;
*over-engaging in physical or mental labor without taking proper breaks;
*traveling for long hours (flying, driving too much) without a break to recover and reset the body
In this case, the mind gets overwhelmed, it needs a nourishing nurturing break to relax and recover, so that it can detach itself from the senses in order to be able to fall asleep.
Sometimes, even if one falls asleep, they wake up fatigued and foggy – sleep is scattered and not grounded enough. In this case, one should adopt one or more of the following steps:
*proper vata pacifying foods that are more unctuous and grounding in nature;
*may drink a milk date shake before sleep (boil milk with a couple cardamom pods, a stick of cinnamon; take off the heat, pour into a blender and add 1-2 pitted medjool dates and blend. Drink warm before bed).
*do self-massage with SVA Vata oil with Vit D and Magnesium;
*Drink Soma Nidra Tea half an hour before sleep;
*Use the Soma Nidra Oral spray
*Shower with Soma Nidra Soap;
*Take a bath with Soma Nidra Sleep Pouches
*Apply Soma Nidra Aroma oil blend on your wrists and behind your ear lobes, or put a couple of drops in an aroma diffuser to release the aroma in your room during your sleep
*Apply Mastishk Shamana transdermal cream on your lower spine.
PITTA
All of the above Vata pacifying recommendations can be done to help with sleep by an individual of any constitution, but sometimes things need to be addressed specifically for Pitta problems. Pitta imbalance prone individuals may experience lack of sleep primarily due to food related imbalances. If they do not eat a proper meal that has high protein content, their fiery high metabolism will not settle down enough to allow soma to ground them in deep rejuvenative sleep. They will wake up during high pitta time, between 12am and 2am, restless, emotionally strung, and unless they pacify their pachak or digestive pitta with a sweet juicy pear, they will not be able to fall back asleep. Not addressing pachak pitta or digestion and trying to fall back asleep through transdermal, transmucosal, aromatherapeutic, or yogic means will fail to work for a high pitta individual!
High Pitta individual must also make every effort to go to bed no later than 10pm, as they will receive second wave when pitta time kicks in, making them prone to engage in creative activities instead of allowing the physiology to rest and detox. As the night ages, it will become harder for them to fall asleep, accumulating more pitta, and resulting in pitta related imbalances – mood swings, excess heat in mind and body that can result in imbalances in different ways.
Pitta organs become more active during pitta time: liver, spleen and pancreas. During the night shift of Pitta, these organs’ activity amounts to detox and transformation of the whole body, including the brain.
If the person is in a sleeping state between 10pm to 2am, then transformation based detox and rejuvenation is not impaired, waste products go into proper detox pathways and the outcome is the body’s nourishing nurturing substance known as Ojas. The shastras or ayurvedic texts highlight that proper sleep produces Ojas as well as toxin-free cellular system.
If pitta types consume alcohol or meals that are high in spices as well as pungent, their physical brain will need an extra-boost of Soma to reset itself. Soma is the raw material for neurotransmitters. When there is not enough soma, the brain starves and it becomes difficult for it to get disconnected from the horses or the senses, resulting in poor sleeping patterns.
What to do?
*Eat protein rich light meals before sleep
*Consume some Rose petal preserve with/after dinner
*Have more squashes during the day or for dinner and reduce pungent spices
*Drink the milk/date shake recipe given above (Vata imbalance section)
*Make a cup of Soma Nidra tea and sip slowly 30 minutes before bedtime.
*Apply DGL transdermal cream on your liver and stomach area, gently massaging
*Take a shower with Soma Nidra soap, spray the Rose Body Silk lotion after shower
*Give yourself a gentle calming massage with Pitta oil with Magnesium
*Laugh every day, specially in the evening, at the end of stressful day!
KAPHA
Lack of sleep related to kapha imbalance can result from eating heavy clogging meals; not having enough exercise; consuming yogurt at night; sleeping during the day. In all these instances, the physical channels between mind and body get clogged, and the mind cannot communicate properly with the senses, making it difficult to disconnect the senses and mind.
If you are prone to kapha imbalance – your body tends to have a slower metabolism and accumulate more Soma – you can balance things by:
*Incorporate daily exercise/yoga into your life
*Eat spice rich food for lunch and dinner – you may also add fresh ginger and Thai green chilies if your pitta is not off and your agni needs support
*Apply SuperSport roll-on or cream on arms legs as well as your lower spine morning and evening
*Use Soma Nidra oral spray – 2-3 squirts before bed
*Drink a cup of Soma Nidra Tea or use any of the other Soma Nidra products to help induce sound sleep, however, all these will work best when you incorporate exercise and balanced meals into your routine
*most important is to make sure you do not sleep beyond 6am as that will accumulate more Soma in your physiology resulting in more clogged channels
Sometimes, you may need to pacify both pitta and vata, or pitta and kapha. You will learn to understand the signal that your physiology is giving you as ayurvedic knowledge unfolds in your awareness once you invite it to be part of your routine. We invite you to explore the full line of Vaidya Mishra’s exquisite formulations that support deep rejuvenative sleep. Try the Soma Nidra tea, or the Soma Nidra roll-on. Everybody has their personal favorite. Discover yours!

For example: Ayurveda teaches us why it is important to Eat at certain times and fast at other times; eat specific things at specific times and avoid those same things at other times; eat with attention on the food; eat pranic food; eat foods prepared a certain way; etc – you get the idea!
In this light, Vaidya Mishra not only shared amazing recipes with us but he also taught us all those little details that make a world of a difference for more balance and bliss! The knowledge he shared with us was not only sublime and beautiful but it was also enlightening… So many would adopt new structures and routines in their diet, along with recipes, and sure enough, they would contact him back saying how not only their mind-set had shifted, but how their practice of yoga and meditation had improved tremendously AFTER they adopted SVA dietary guidelines and recipes.
Vaidya Mishra gave us so many delicious spice blends to use in the kitchen, specially the Mom’s Masala – a-ready-to-use pre-toasted blend of 20 herbs and spices that you can sprinkle on your food (no cooking needed) or even in your drinks (lime water, lassi, etc) or on top of fruit. If you have not tried them all out, you can order our rosewood sampler box to get a taste of each one.

Yakrit, the Sanskrit term for the ‘liver,’ literally means ‘where every process happens.’ The liver – the largest organ in our bodies – carries out hundreds of actions, primarily detoxifying and creating new blood; filtering out toxins/chemicals; building immunity. But did you know that it also has an amazing capacity to regenerate itself? Without the liver we wouldn’t be able to transform food into energy, by breaking down fats and proteins. Here are some of the liver’s most vital functions:
Produces fresh blood AND cleans toxins out of the blood: the many cells of the liver, known as hepatocytes, accept and filter this blood. They act as little sorting centers, determining which nutrients should be processed, what should be stored, what should be eliminated via the stool, what should go back to the blood; it also gets rid of old red blood cells; the liver thus regulates/maintains healthy amount of blood in the body;
Produces bile, a fluid that helps the body digest (break down) fat: the liver stores fat-soluble vitamins as well as minerals such as copper and iron, releasing them when the body needs them. It also helps to break down fats in a person’s diet: it either metabolizes fats or releases them as energy. The liver produces an estimated 800 to 1000 ml of bile each day. This bile flows into the small intestine where the fat gets broken down and absorbed – extra bile is stored in the gallbladder.
As if these functions weren’t enough, the liver also plays a major role in the following:
Metabolizes proteins and carbohydrates so they turn into energy and your body can use them;
Creates immune system factors that help fight against infection;
Create proteins responsible for blood clotting – otherwise we would bleed to death!
Breaks down old and damaged red blood cell;
Balances energy metabolism by converting glycogen to glucose and storing extra glucose by converting it to glycogen. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores mainly in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
Makes toxins less harmful to the body and removes them/detoxifies the bloodstream
So you can see how and when, for any reason, the “intelligence” of the liver gets compromised, different kinds of dis-ease may emerge. A compromised liver can mean compromised health on many levels…
In Shaka Vanshiya Ayurveda, we pay special attention to making sure the liver does not get “cranky” – as Vaidya Mishra would jokingly explain. Having taken the pulse of thousands of people who had “cranky hot livers,” he put together a gentle yet effective protocol to help cool things off and optimize its functions.

More Deeper Rejuvenative Sleep: Choose Your Favorite Formulation!
Sleep and Detox
What’s the Relationship?
There simply are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all we want or need to do, that’s why many of us end up cutting back on sleep: either sleep later or wake up earlier to get done all we need to. Is sleep a not-so-necessary pause that disrupts our creative life flow? Would it be possible to sleep less everyday so we could do more? Ayurveda teaches us that sleep is so much more than a mindless pause that helps restore the physical body for continued activity…It is much much more!
Modern science agrees on this as well, and it is easy to find countless research articles that cite the innumerable benefits of sleep. What’s the most interesting of the findings? It is proven conclusion that the brain needs sleep to wash off toxins created during the day’s activities. Yes, you read that right: sleep is detox! What does this mean? How is this sleep detox done?
Pioneering research has found that brain cells – glial cells – shrink during sleep to open up the interstitial gaps between neurons to allow fluid to flush out neurotoxins in the brain through a network of plumbing pipes - the glymphatic system. If the brain is not allowed this detox process through a proper continuous 8 hour cycle of sleep, toxic proteins may be formed and/or left behind – and these proteins may be playing a major role in chronic brain disorders such Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, or dementia.
So then sleep is so much more than a daily restorative pause. It is more of a necessary housekeeping where lethal neurotoxins are flushed out.
Did Ayurveda also talk about this? It sure did!
Shodhana and Rasayana
Vaidya Mishra not only emphasized the importance of regular sleep, he further elaborated not only on the “shodhana” or detox properties of sleep, but also on the “rasayana” or rejuvenative values of good sleep.
The detoxing and rejuvenative functions of sleep (“shodhana” and “rasayana”) have long been known in Ayurveda. The Carak Samhita Sutrasthana says that sleep or “svapn”, along with a healthy diet or “ahar,” as well as ethical balanced behavior or “Brahmacharya” are the 3 sub-pillars of life, or “traya upastambah:
The sutra states that with proper regular sleep the body gains “bala” or physical and mental stamina; its overall immunity is enhanced; complexion improves; digestive and post-digestive activities are optimal; the mind gets more balance and nourishment from the physiology ; there is overall improvement in the assimilation and transformation of activities on the cellular as well as vibrational levels.
So what does Ayurveda say about the relationship between sleep and detox?
Daily Detox through Sleep
Our bodies are deeply attuned to the environment we live in. In modern terms, we speak of the circadian rhythm: a 24 hour biological cycle that keeps organs and organ systems running in our bodies, in relation to the environment, and particularly the the day-night cycle of 24hours. Our cellular metabolic processes respond to and are regulated by this cycle.
In Ayurveda, the daily biological rhythm of the body is discussed in relation to dinacharya and ratricharya: day-time and night-time protocols respectively. The understanding of daily metabolic cycles in Ayurveda also relates to light, but goes beyond as well.
We know that ayurvedically speaking different portions of the day are said to carry distinct properties that affect our bodies and minds in different ways. The day is structured in portions that carry more or less of the 3 cosmic energies that make up everything under the sun. In Vaidya Mishra’s lineage these 3 cosmic energies are emphasized as key players for understanding and managing health. They are: Soma, Agni, and Marut.
*Soma: the creational principle of support and sustenance best symbolized by the Moon or lunar energy
*Agni: the principle of transformation best exemplified by solar energy
*Marut: best exemplified by space and air, this is the principle of movement
Ayurveda structures the day in sequential portions that carry more or less properties of Soma, Agni, or Marut. This is translated as the tendency to have or accumulate more or less imbalances of Kapha, Pitta, or Vata during a given day. This is how an ayurvedic day looks like:
*early morning, from 6am to 10am is more soma, it is kapha time
*from 10am to 2pm is agni predominant when the sun’s effect is highest on our physiology, and that is pitta time
*from 2pm to 6pm is more marut predominant, and that is vata time
The 24 hour day cycle is divided into mirror parts, but they oscillate between rest and activity. 12 hours of activity vs 12 hours of rest – this includes a couple of hours prepping up for and then coming off of high activity or deep rest. An ideal day is balanced between the 2 strokes of rest and activity.
While the early morning soma time from 6-10am is necessary to rev up the body to accomplish the day’s activities, the evening soma time extending from 6-10pm is to be used to calm it back down, unwind it, and ground it, prepping it for deep rejuvenative sleep.
When the evening time is properly used to calm down the nervous system, giving rest to the organs and organ systems, then the ensuing Agni predominant portion from 10pm to 2am, will be successful in performing its task of detox and transformation.
Ideally, our days are meant to be structured to alternate between rest and activity. During the day, when the sun has risen, our minds get engaged in our senses, our bodies become busy carrying out activities, our brains are fully aligned with our dynamic senses.
When the day wanes, if our awareness is attuned to Nature’s rhythm, our fatigued physical body and brain will understand that it is time to shift gears and ready the body for sleep. The sutra says:
When “manas” or the mind gets “klante,” fatigued, from activity or”karma,” enjoying the objects or “visyayebho” of the senses, then it wants to release itself (“nivartante”) of those objects by going into sleep or “svapiti.” This is the definition of sleep according to Ayurveda.
But do you find that sleeping through the night a problem? Can Ayurveda help?
Sometimes sleep can be the most elusive thing. No matter how tired we feel and want to sleep, we are not able to wind down, fall asleep, nor stay asleep. There are different ways to correct sleep imbalances, based on external and internal factors.
Sleeplessness occurs when the brain is unable to disconnect from the activities of the senses. When the brain remains engaged in the objects of the senses – something that happened during the day – either extremely exciting or stressful; a task that was unfinished; an emotional charge that remains unprocessed; a stressful thought that won’t leave you. Your mind keeps running the episode over and over again. Due to different hetu-s or original causes, people are not able to disconnect or detach their minds from their senses, and then sleep eludes us. There is not one way to correct a sleep imbalance, because there is not one reason that may cause insomnia. In SVA, Vaidya mishra insists on following the ”hetu ling aushadi gyanam” principle: first investigate and isolate the actual cause of the sleeplessness to be able to correct it fully and effectively.
In this sense, based on one’s physiology, there can be 3 distinct ways of approaching problems in sleep, each is based on one of the 3 cosmic energies, Soma, Agni, Marut, that get reduced to imbalances in our physiologies as Kapha, Pitta, and Vata, based on our body’s preference to receive more or less of each energy.
In general, it is good to turn down the lights, reduce the use of TV and computer, turn off the wifi in your home, and do gentle yogic exercise or meditation to ease the body into the rest period of the day. But here are specific guidelines for those who need a little more pacification.
VATA
Sleeplessness that is caused by too much Vata, or air and space accumulation, can result from:
*the overuse of EMF devices such as computers, cellphones, etc.
*from eating or drinking too much dry or drying foods or drinks (snacks, caffeinated drinks);
*from skipping meals or not eating enough, or eating on the go;
*eating too much pungent and spicy meals; or cold food;
*over-engaging in physical or mental labor without taking proper breaks;
*traveling for long hours (flying, driving too much) without a break to recover and reset the body
In this case, the mind gets overwhelmed, it needs a nourishing nurturing break to relax and recover, so that it can detach itself from the senses in order to be able to fall asleep.
Sometimes, even if one falls asleep, they wake up fatigued and foggy – sleep is scattered and not grounded enough. In this case, one should adopt one or more of the following steps:
*proper vata pacifying foods that are more unctuous and grounding in nature;
*may drink a milk date shake before sleep (boil milk with a couple cardamom pods, a stick of cinnamon; take off the heat, pour into a blender and add 1-2 pitted medjool dates and blend. Drink warm before bed).
*do self-massage with SVA Vata oil with Vit D and Magnesium;
*Drink Soma Nidra Tea half an hour before sleep;
*Use the Soma Nidra Oral spray
*Shower with Soma Nidra Soap;
*Take a bath with Soma Nidra Sleep Pouches
*Apply Soma Nidra Aroma oil blend on your wrists and behind your ear lobes, or put a couple of drops in an aroma diffuser to release the aroma in your room during your sleep
*Apply Mastishk Shamana transdermal cream on your lower spine.
PITTA
All of the above Vata pacifying recommendations can be done to help with sleep by an individual of any constitution, but sometimes things need to be addressed specifically for Pitta problems. Pitta imbalance prone individuals may experience lack of sleep primarily due to food related imbalances. If they do not eat a proper meal that has high protein content, their fiery high metabolism will not settle down enough to allow soma to ground them in deep rejuvenative sleep. They will wake up during high pitta time, between 12am and 2am, restless, emotionally strung, and unless they pacify their pachak or digestive pitta with a sweet juicy pear, they will not be able to fall back asleep. Not addressing pachak pitta or digestion and trying to fall back asleep through transdermal, transmucosal, aromatherapeutic, or yogic means will fail to work for a high pitta individual!
High Pitta individual must also make every effort to go to bed no later than 10pm, as they will receive second wave when pitta time kicks in, making them prone to engage in creative activities instead of allowing the physiology to rest and detox. As the night ages, it will become harder for them to fall asleep, accumulating more pitta, and resulting in pitta related imbalances – mood swings, excess heat in mind and body that can result in imbalances in different ways.
Pitta organs become more active during pitta time: liver, spleen and pancreas. During the night shift of Pitta, these organs’ activity amounts to detox and transformation of the whole body, including the brain.
If the person is in a sleeping state between 10pm to 2am, then transformation based detox and rejuvenation is not impaired, waste products go into proper detox pathways and the outcome is the body’s nourishing nurturing substance known as Ojas. The shastras or ayurvedic texts highlight that proper sleep produces Ojas as well as toxin-free cellular system.
If pitta types consume alcohol or meals that are high in spices as well as pungent, their physical brain will need an extra-boost of Soma to reset itself. Soma is the raw material for neurotransmitters. When there is not enough soma, the brain starves and it becomes difficult for it to get disconnected from the horses or the senses, resulting in poor sleeping patterns.
What to do?
*Eat protein rich light meals before sleep
*Consume some Rose petal preserve with/after dinner
*Have more squashes during the day or for dinner and reduce pungent spices
*Drink the milk/date shake recipe given above (Vata imbalance section)
*Make a cup of Soma Nidra tea and sip slowly 30 minutes before bedtime.
*Apply DGL transdermal cream on your liver and stomach area, gently massaging
*Take a shower with Soma Nidra soap, spray the Rose Body Silk lotion after shower
*Give yourself a gentle calming massage with Pitta oil with Magnesium
*Laugh every day, specially in the evening, at the end of stressful day!
KAPHA
Lack of sleep related to kapha imbalance can result from eating heavy clogging meals; not having enough exercise; consuming yogurt at night; sleeping during the day. In all these instances, the physical channels between mind and body get clogged, and the mind cannot communicate properly with the senses, making it difficult to disconnect the senses and mind.
If you are prone to kapha imbalance – your body tends to have a slower metabolism and accumulate more Soma – you can balance things by:
*Incorporate daily exercise/yoga into your life
*Eat spice rich food for lunch and dinner – you may also add fresh ginger and Thai green chilies if your pitta is not off and your agni needs support
*Apply SuperSport roll-on or cream on arms legs as well as your lower spine morning and evening
*Use Soma Nidra oral spray – 2-3 squirts before bed
*Drink a cup of Soma Nidra Tea or use any of the other Soma Nidra products to help induce sound sleep, however, all these will work best when you incorporate exercise and balanced meals into your routine
*most important is to make sure you do not sleep beyond 6am as that will accumulate more Soma in your physiology resulting in more clogged channels
Sometimes, you may need to pacify both pitta and vata, or pitta and kapha. You will learn to understand the signal that your physiology is giving you as ayurvedic knowledge unfolds in your awareness once you invite it to be part of your routine. We invite you to explore the full line of Vaidya Mishra’s exquisite formulations that support deep rejuvenative sleep. Try the Soma Nidra tea, or the Soma Nidra roll-on. Everybody has their personal favorite. Discover yours!
Wishing you blissful somagenic nights…
