I'm just about to finish my first year of studying Ayurveda at Mount Madonna Institute in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The program works so that I spend one long weekend a month at MMI and then study on my own at home through the regular books & notes method and fun practicals. This month, our practical is to take a recipe for Amanda Morningstar's book: Ayurvedic Cooking for Westerners and write about our experience. I'm currently in the throws of a pitta imbalance. The weather changed too fast for me to anticipate and with the beautiful (but sweltering) sun I'm all fired up; body, mind and spirit. My old practitioner, Jennifer Caldwell, used to joke how she could tell a pitta (me) to do something like eat oatmeal three times a week and when she has them report back she finds they've eaten it seven days a week. It's all or nothing for those of us with a pitta imbalance...and so I find myself posting three recipes from two of Morningstar's books. enjoy! :)
Kate what wit and wisdom. Transitioning from a pitta to vata dosha I look back and completely relate to, "if 2 are good for you, 10 must be better!", now being square in the middle of vata, I am lucky to remember how many I was told........:) love your blogs!
