Woman over 40 exploring these sacred rituals.
Welcome to Sacred Rituals, a space to return, reflect, and realign with nature’s rhythm.
Each month, I share a simple Ayurvedic ritual, a small act of devotion to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most.
These are not elaborate routines, but gentle practices that restore balance and awareness through the changing seasons.
Come here whenever you need to slow down, reset your mind, or remember the wisdom of your body.

October Sacred Ritual: Oiling the Ears (Karna Purana)
As the winds of Vata season stir, this month’s ritual invites you to listen inward.
In Ayurveda, oiling the ears is a deeply soothing self-care practice that calms the nervous system, supports sleep, and quiets the mind.
Warm a few drops of sesame or Athreya's Healthy Ear Oil.
Lie on your side and gently drop the oil into one ear, letting it rest for a minute before switching sides.
Move slowly, letting the warmth settle into your body.
This simple act of care is a reminder to listen closely to yourself and the world around you.
