66: Wintering Well With Ayurveda For Calm, Warmth, And Energy

Winter can be cozy and magical, yet it can also leave you feeling dry, scattered, anxious, and depleted.With a seasonal Ayurvedic lens, this conversation explores why winter tends to amplify vata qualities like cold, dryness, and restlessness, especially when the holidays add more socializing, richer food, and disrupted routines. You will hear five grounding rituals designed to bring in the opposites: warmth, nourishment, oil, slowness, and steadiness, including abhyanga self-massage with sesame oil, a warm spiced milk bedtime ritual, and choosing soups and stews to support digestion and energy.The guidance also weaves in nervous system care through a winter-friendly digital detox and a return to imagination through epic novels and mythic stories. The invitation is simple: let winter reset your rhythm and support you in feeling held, nourished, and inspired.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/ Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.  Your feedback helps me support you on your sacred journey.Scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Be sure to let me know what you resonated with the most in this episode!  And if you haven’t done so already, give the podcast a follow, so you’ll be notified when a new episode comes out.
