Today, as Sasha and Divya sat down to explore Ayurvedic Food as Medicine and why every Vaidya or Healer is a Good Chef, they connected from the heart on so many levels: their shared love of India (Vrindavan in particular), Hanuman, and all things Ayurvedic cooking - including the mission, Divya’s personal healing journey with Ayurveda, the role of the mind in preparing food, as well as the role of the mind in eating food. We invite your Heart space to expand and let the Ojas of our conversation to pour in.
