Recipe of Kadha/Ukado for boosting immunity

Many people find themselves getting affected by cough, cold, mild fever, and flu-like symptoms during the change of seasons. In today’s times when everyone is feeling threatened by the pandemic of coronavirus even running nose, little coughing is making people panic. It is necessary for you, to learn to treat these minor conditions at home because for most of you even approaching a doctor for non-emergency cases would be difficult.  However, it should never mean to not stay vigilant and careful. Immediately consult your doctor if you get corona like symptoms.

This homemade kadha is going to be a great help you fight against cough, cold, fever, sore throat, stomach infection and indigestion etc. This is a purely ayurvedic remedy that can be made at home from the ingredients easily available in your kitchen. It is inexpensive and effective!

Even if you are not feeling any symptoms, make the kadha regularly at home and enjoy it hot. It will help boost your immunity and digestion.  The kadha can be a little spicy for some so you may add honey to it while drinking. If you are OK, you may put lemon juice in it to add flavour. You can enjoy it even without adding honey or lemon.

There are two categories of ingredients in it – essential and optional. Besides those herbs and spices that are clearly marked and mentioned in this recipe, you can also add other herbs and spices such as fennel seeds, lemongrass, Bay leaf (tez patta), curry leaves, cloves, a small piece of nutmeg etc. If you like you can use different combinations of herbs and spices for different flavors however remember turmeric (freshly ground or powder), ginger (freshly ground or dried powder) and black-pepper are essential.

It is always better to make your preparations in the night so that you can make kadha in the morning to be had after breakfast. Place the ingredients in a non-metallic pot add some water, then cover it with lid for 1 hour so that the flavors of the spices and herbs are nicely infused. You can have it twice a day i.e. in the morning after breakfast and after dinner.

Let’s talk health

Ma ShaktiA healthy body is the birthright of every human being. Everyone wants a healthy and vibrant body but surprisingly enough most of people do not actually do much regarding their physical health or worse they are involved in exactly opposite life style. A life style that takes them miles away from their dream of a healthy body. Bringing a little awareness to the subtle signals given by body brings a lot of understanding of the body to us. An understanding that body is a divine vehicle and a gross form of consciousness, helps a person to move from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy one. Being Conscious is not a thought or a mindset, it is a feeling, a feeling of being alive and being connected to the life as whole. Consciousness of the body arises with an understanding and knowledge of the physical body.

Our physical body also referred to as Annamaya Kosha is formed by a interplay of five divine elements: The Panchtattvas. And further  Tattva Shakti Vigyaan practitioners’ experiential understanding reaffirms that the five elements are not only in the form of gross matter present in our Annamaya Kosha (Physical body) but are present in subtle forms in our other four Koshas of Panch Kosha also. The Five elements are conscious entities affecting us on all levels. On mental, physical and energy level their imbalance can cause various implications.

Physical body is very much affected by the imbalance of the tattvas and our life style also pollutes them. Every element affects our physical body in various ways. An increase or decrease in elements cause various diseases but we cannot always single out an element as a cause for any disease. An Ayurvedacharya before giving any medication tries to understand the Dosha of the patient. There are predominantly three Dosha’s – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. I say predominantly as there are sub-doshas also. Like for Vata Dosha sub dosha’s are Prana Vata, Udaan Vata, Vyaan Vata, Samaan Vata, and Apaan Vata. For Pitta Dosha sub-doshas are Pachak Pitta, Ranjak Pitta, Sadhak Pitta, Alochak Pitta and Bhrajaka Pitta. For Kapha Dosha sub-doshas are Avlambak Kapha, Kledak Kapha, Bohaka Kapha, Tarpaka Kapha and Shleshak Kapha. Knowing the dosha is an imperative part of Indian healing system. Tattva Shakti Therapy is a healing system that gives a clear and direct understanding of your mind-body complex by apprehending your Dosha.

The Tridoshas are further made from the combination of two elements. Like Vata Dosha is combination of Vayu Tattva (Air) and Akasha Tattva(Space). Pitta Dosha is combination of Agni Tattva (Fire) and Jal Tattva (Water) and Kapha Dosha is combination of Jal Tattva (Water) and Prithvi Tattva (Earth). This makes it very clear that imbalance in elements cause imbalance in Doshas’ too. And imbalance of Doshas is the root of all diseases in a human(physical and mental). The practices in Tattva Shakti Therapy work on balancing the tattvas and thereby the doshas.

The practices are completely based on ancient time tested methods of Indian Holistic healing system through which you too can claim your birthright to perfect physical and mental health. With Ma Shakti Devpriya we will keep discussing various aspects of Tattva Shakti Therapy and even learn some wonderful and easy ways for healthy mind and body.

Healing with earth

The Earth element
Earth element: Powerhouse of Prana Shakti

Sometime or other everyone must have experienced the soothing and rejuvenating properties of earth element (Prithvi Tattva) during having a stroll in a garden or just sitting on the fresh green grass. Nature is filled with Prana Shakti, the life giving energy. We are continuously taking those energies from the nature, although not so consciously. But we all know this for sure that we just love it when we are in contact with nature. And always try to go to a some hill station or beach to rejuvenate ourselves. Right?

Earth is our compassionate patient mother.

A mother is always forgiving and caring towards her children. Earth the supporting mother for the whole human kind although facing so much abuse from her children does not stop loving them, continuously providing them with all that they need for a healthy living. Every time as I walk on the soft grass, I be completely aware that I am walking on my mother and she is lovingly supporting me. This awareness fills my being with joy and stability. How beautiful and joyous it is to know the Mother tree huggingEarth, as she starts a conversation. Asking me to be filled with compassion and forgiving towards each and every being. I many times ask people in my workshops what comes to their mind when I say Earth. Seldom I get to listen Mother! It is just because we have trained to see the elements as just supporters not as living entities, which actually they are. Even though man heaps mountains of waste and pollution on Mother Earth, she gives valuable minerals and food without which man could not survive. We learn that for all the abuse, criticism and negativity we receive from world, we should give benefit of our spiritual essence and loving forgiveness

Mother Earth is waiting patiently for her children to get aware of her presence and have a conversation with them.

Hug a tree!

Have you ever hugged a tree. If no, then you have missed something magical in your life. Just let go all your apprehensions and go to a nice big tree, show your gratitude towards it for providing oxygen so that you live and fruits so that you live healthily. It is such a marvelous experience. In fact, hugging a tree is scientifically proven to improve health.

How to hug a tree:

Its always good to ask for a permission from the tree. You can ask out loud if you don’t care what others will think or just in your head. Just ask “Can I hug you?” If you feel good after asking and not creepy, just go ahead.

Wrap your hands around the tree as far as you can. Close your eyes and just feel the tree. Feel the warmth, the energy moving from the tree into you. Feel the roughness of the bark. breath deeply and be completely in a moment. Just 5 minutes and you are going to feel awesome after that

Meditating with Earth

Our habits do not let us make strong connections with Earth element. Although we can feel this strong connection and start a conversation with it easily.

Stand bare feet and firmly on green grass or moist soil. Take few deep breaths and relax completely. Now feel the flow of energy moving up from your right leg. The stable earthly energies are entering inside you through your right feet and rises up.

Place your feet firmly on ground
Place your feet firmly on ground

The energies move thorough your chakras, till your throat chakra and reaches your third eye. The energy now starts moving down and reaches throat chakra then to your heart chakra, solar plexus, sacral chakra and root chakra. The energy now enters your right leg and flowing along the right leg, the energy enters back into the earth through your right feet. The energy brings stable and peaceful energies into you and takes away your indecisiveness and fickle thoughts. This is a very simple but a wonderful exercise. You will be filled with lot of positive energy after this exercise and feel complete in all levels. The energy fills up all the energy gaps in your energy body, healing it completely. It would be great if you can do this exercise once a week.

ADD SOME SALT IN YOUR LIFE!

The Healing Salt

Salt has great healing properties.  I had made a practice of washing my hands with salt before I sit to heal myself or others.  Almost every healer be he from reiki, Pranic or any other school of healing will vouch for its effectiveness. They do it to rub off the negative energies from their hands. Salt used for healing practices is actually sea salt and not the table salt. The difference lies in the method of its formation. Sea salt is obtained by evaporating sea water. Table salt (Sodium Chloride) is refined from mined rock salt or refined from sea salt.

If you are tired after a long busy day. Take a tub of warm water and put at least two table spoons full of salt in it. Change into your night-dress so that you can sleep immediately after that. You will certainly have a rejuvenating sleep. dip your feet in the water. Close your eyes and take few deep breaths. Now imagine all your tiredness going into the water. It will not be so tough, as the salt in the water is already sucking the negative energies. Feel all the tiredness go in the water as black or grey smoke. When you feel cleansed, imagine white light entering your crown chakra. Fill every part, organ and cell with the white light. Remove your feet gently, dab them dry and apply some cream to it. Don’t forget to throw the water, before you sleep. Don’t let it stand for the whole night.

The five elements earth, air, fire, water and space have a  delicate balance in your body. Tattva Shakti Vigyan helps you to understand this balance and importance of every element. There are many methods to connect and balance the elements among which mudras and beej mantras are the most potent. This technique also helps in connecting to the earth and water element. As the low vibrations are released you feel emotionally stable and free from continuous thoughts. As the earth element is supporting water element here so the balancing of water element happens in a positive way. If you wish to add some fire element during the process you can light a candle while you are relaxing your feet in the water. Any method works when you get aware of the energy changes going around.

I find it very effective when I close my eyes and completely deepen the experience my mentally connecting to the element separately. All the Initiated TSV Practitioners can make this whole process elevating and special by using beej mantras for the elements. Tattva Shakti Vigyaan initiates should note that such passive methods are no substitute for their original practices.. however they can benefit by augmenting through this.

To start the journey, the first step is to balance the elements. You can always start it by trying small tips I will be posting on this blog. When the elements are balanced you feel lighter physically and mentally both and thus ready for a spiritual plunge.

Everything is magic!!

The whole universe, the Brahamand is a magic of divine. The most wonderful and amazing magic of the divine is the blend of five elements that is the human. Elemental magic is natural, because we our self are a part of that magic. Naturally there is some magic within us. The energies that are flowing in us are also flowing in all the elements that mystically form the universe. We are forming a connection with the whole universe, every moment when our inner elements and universal raw elements blend in some way or other.

While cooking food, as I touch the cold water gushing through the vegetables I wash, it makes me realize the presence of purity of water elements. The vegetables make me realize the strength of earth element. As I put the vegetables to boil, I realize the passion of fire element and as the steam arises it makes me realize the free spirit of air element. The magic of elements was right there in my kitchen, so I just asked the elements to come together and help me create divinity even in the food I prepare.

Just the moment you get aware, you will find the elements dancing every where ready to bathe you in their raw vibrations. You have the power to connect to the elements and convert the raw energies into manifesting energies. Tattva Shakti Vigyaan, makes you sensitive to the elemental energies and realize their power, magic and support in daily activities.

Energy influences!

The other day, I was reading about autobiographies of great people.The great people were, the ones who had achieved great success, and were millionaires and established great business. After having a peep in the personal life, I found that they all have compassionate and positive energies around them.These people have formed a good positive aura around. It gave me a glimpse of law of interdependence. I say just a glimpse, as this law is working in every area in the whole networking of universe.

We all are not lonely entities, but having many connections and relations. The people we live with, the people we have deep relations with,  the people we love, have the ability to influence our energy field. A successful person, does connect with his near relationships, and have a strong undercurrent of understanding and peace in their life. To reach that state where society visibily recognizes you as a really successful person you need to give loads of energy.

Today I am in thinking mode and feel pondering what do close relations give us. So first I had to ask myself what do the close relations give us. They give us a feeling of being loved, wanted and feeling of being secure. Thus again I understand the importance of love, unconditional love, which can make the mountains move. Love of this quality gives you a feeling of peace and tranquility, that is so much required for keeping focus on the path of success. Love when becomes a strong quality and not a hindrance. Love when just love without attached strings can never be a hindrance. If it converts in to a hindrance, it has lost its fragrance. Love is not a emotion, it is a state of awareness. When we have relations around us with such a strong quality, than the positive energy influences are strong that help us in every aspect of life. Those who achieve this positivity in life are really blessed. People often don’t understand the role of positive relations and strong underlying support positive and good relations give. They are working day and night for material success and neglecting, delicate relations.

These  energy influences have a profound affect on us. The laws of universe are very simple and straight, but still we do falter in  understanding them and make our laws, against them. Can we expect to be successful when we walk against the universal laws. It will be a futile exercise. The only way to walk with the laws of universe is to walk with love and compassion for all the beings. Nourishing the relations with constant flow of unconditional love and understanding is the key to real success. The strong positive energy influences that love forms will make a stronger base on which you will build the staircase, reaching your dreams.
