Sacred Vitality Collective Check-In
Let’s talk cravings — those whispers (or sometimes shouts) from the body that can feel confusing, frustrating, or even shameful. In Ayurveda, cravings are never random. They are your body, mind, and soul asking for something deeper.
👉 Sometimes, it’s your dosha out of balance.
- Vata craves sweet and oily foods when the nervous system is frazzled, needing grounding.
- Pitta craves cold or sweet when the inner fire burns too hot, needing soothing.
- Kapha craves heavy or sugary foods when stuck in stagnation, needing movement and lightness.
👉 Sometimes, cravings are really messages for nourishment.
- A craving for sweets might mean your body is asking for comfort, love, or stability.
- A craving for salty or crunchy foods might be a call for stimulation or grounding.
- A craving for coffee or chocolate might mean you’re reaching for quick energy instead of sustainable vitality.
💡 Here’s the medicine: Ayurveda teaches us not to shame our cravings but to listen and redirect them.
- Instead of sugar, try dates, honey, coconut or dried fruit that has been soaked.
- Instead of chips, create roasted seeds with spices. Or my healthy cornflake snack.
- Instead of caffeine, warm spiced teas that support digestion and focus.
🌱 Reflection for you this week: What are you craving most often right now? And if you pause, close your eyes, and listen — what is your body really asking for beneath the craving? Is it rest, relaxation or a gentle hug?
Share below, sisters. Let’s decode our cravings together.
