‘Ritual is a necessity, a human need – use this to always come back to mindfulness of what you’re doing.’ Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche
Over the years I’ve worked in the everyday practices and routines that make up an Ayurvedic lifestyle, from oil-pulling and tongue-scraping, to meditation, yoga and breathwork, as well as little rituals of awareness that I’ve found helpful, such as blessing my food, taking a break from the digital world, mindful working, clearing my space and taking an attitude of gratitude to bed with me.
