The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook: Holistic Healing Rituals for Every Day and Season Flexibound – April 2, 2019

I ordered this book because I've listened to the audio several times and wanted to be able to highlight and take with me. So much great information. I think everyone would benefit from reading this❤️❤️❤️ the author is a beautiful soul sharing her light with the world.

This book is well written and does a great job of explaining the basic concepts of Ayurveda. I’ve read several books on Ayurveda and sometimes they can be a bit overwhelming to understand on your own. The author has included several easy to understand (and fairly easy to fit into your schedule) rituals to try out. There are breathing exercises, drink recipes, massage routines, meditations and some yoga poses suggested for different issues. She has them broken down into morning, midday and evening rituals. I keep this book out so I can quickly reference it when I need to. The author also has a website that has more information. The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook has already become one of my favorite books and I reference it often. If you’ve been curious about Ayurveda then I suggest giving this book a try.

I found this book to be very insightful for a newer practitioner of Ayurveda. Super easy to follow and great tips

Sarah is incredibly adept at translating Ayurveda and it’s principles for a novice audience while keeping the information interesting enough to retain the attention of those who may know a bit more. It’s truly a gift. This book gives many tips that, while supremely simple to implement, possess the ability to have a profound effect. Even at a time when I feel far removed from any sort of routine, I never once felt condemned or overwhelmed by the advice this book provides. If you’re at all interested in wellness, Ayurveda, or just feeling a little bit better, this is the best place to start.

Most of the ayurvedic books I read in the past only talk about rituals ignoring the geographic location. This book talks about Indian medicine for westerners and how they could relate to the drastic climate changes. I followed few instructions from the book and observed my teeth is glowing white, able to sleep continuous and my circadian rythm has been in synch.

I loved that I felt "okay" to be myself in her eyes--instead of me needing to fit a "norm," her attitude is one of acceptance of each unique personality type. And she doesn't require or insist on readers following everything. In fact, she acknowledges that many ideas she explains won't work for certain people. How refreshing! I did find several things that do work well for me.

Handy little book to give you some basics. Just remember ayurveda is a base of learning but each individual will have certain things that might"go against" what is being taught that work better for them.

I feel like I’ve been waiting on this book my whole life. Sarah has a magical way of taking complex topics, ideas, and practices, and breaks them down in a way that is inviting, comforting, and familiar. This book is greatly changing the way I look at myself and the people in my life, and has shifted my approach to healing -physically and emotionally. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a way to add meaningful practice into your life. I can’t wait to give this as a gift.
