This episode acts as an introduction to the Ojas Podcast. An opportunity for me to share a little bit of my story, my intentions for this soundwave space, and to share about the life giving qualities of Ojas. 

Tips on Building Ojas:

1. Eat foods that are organic and locally grown. More vegetables, grains, lentils.
2. Ojas building foods and herbs are what we call in ayurveda "building" foods meaning that they are heavy and help us to build ojas. If you're currently carrying a toxic load, or ama, it will be very very helpful to begin your ayurvedic journey with a gentle cleanse. Journal Entry on Ayurvedic Detox . 
3. Rasayana foods: dates, almonds, raw cows milk, sweet potato, avocados, honey.
4. Rasayana herbs: Amla, shatavari, triphala, chywanprash
5. Devotion: be wildly devoted to something bigger than you. 
6. Work on your stuff. Nothing drains you of ojas more than being stuck in spirals in your brain. 
7. Don't give it your all. Exercise, to 50% capacity. Doing too much depleted Ojas.
