In today’s episode, Brittni and Rita share their favorite Ayurvedic tips for staying balanced while traveling. We’ll explore why travel can be so dysregulating for the digestive and nervous systems and simple ways to support common travel-related symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, anxiety, and more.

Highlights:

• The importance of caring for our sensory organs during travel (and how to do it!)
• Our favorite travel snacks, teas, and tricks for avoiding digestive upset when flying
• Brittni’s story of using Ayurveda to overcome severe travel anxiety
• How travel in itself can be a spiritual practice — an opportunity to cultivate presence and flow with the unexpected

Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita explore the Ayurvedic concept of prajnaparadha — or “crimes against wisdom” — which Ayurveda identifies as one of the primary causes of dis-ease. Together, they discuss why it’s such a deeply human experience to make choices that go against our inner knowing, and how we can stay curious, compassionate, and honest while reflecting on our own habits and patterns.

Highlights:

• Why Ayurveda considers “crimes against wisdom” one of the primary causes of dis-ease.
• The humanness of “bad habits” and why we all have them
• The difference between supportive self-care and trying to get Ayurveda “perfect”
• The connection between people pleasing, rigidity, and disconnection from our inner knowing
• How to bring more softness, humor, and self-compassion into our self-conversations
