VITAL HARMONICS POPUP AUGUST 5 2023
Rasa is the concept of taste (there are 6) and it also refers to our plasma and the juice of plants.
The tastier food is, the more it will be aligned with our plasma. This is the first tissue before blood that food is converted into. When we can intentionally inform our plasma this way, it becomes medicine.
This is the nature of my practice when I work with my patients.

An ODE to RASA:
In the captivating realm of Ayurveda, the concept of ‘rasa’ reigns supreme, an enigmatic symphony of flavors, a sensory carnival that conjures ethereal allure. Within the opulent tapestry of this ancient wisdom lies the key to unlocking the hidden potential of our palates, fostering harmonious balance in body and soul.
Picture, if you will, a culinary odyssey through the vibrant landscapes of taste, a gastronomic voyage worthy of Arabian Nights. In this grand epicurean narrative, each ‘rasa’ unfurls its own exquisite opus, enticing gourmands to traverse the terrains of sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Like a master storyteller, Ayurveda regales us with the promise of dishes that tantalize with the saccharine charm of honey, setting the stage for ambrosial delights. Then, with the mellifluous tang of lemons and tamarinds, it paints the canvas with a zestful cadence, summoning a symphony of rejuvenation.
Ah, but let us not forget the allure of salt, that essential siren of savory indulgence, drawing us inexorably into its enchanting embrace. And as we marvel at the fiery theater of spices, the pungent flamenco of chili peppers, the aromatic arabesques of cardamom, we are beckoned to experience the divine choreography of Ayurvedic fusion.
Yet, the grand opera of ‘rasa’ does not merely aim to delight the senses; it is a masterstroke of health and well-being. Balancing these elemental tastes bestows upon us vitality and vitality, sowing the seeds of longevity with each sumptuous morsel.
Imagine then, a banquet of Ayurvedic delicacies, each dish a concerto of flavors carefully orchestrated to nurture not only our bodies but our spirits as well. A culinary alchemy that transforms meals into elixirs, drawing us closer to the elusive eldorado of perfect health and holistic nourishment.
In this gastronomic soiree, we, the fortunate connoisseurs, embark on a quest for savoring life’s most exquisite notes, guided by the wisdom of Ayurveda and its captivating tale of ‘rasa.’ Thus, let us revel in the symphony of tastes, partaking of each dish with reverence and gratitude, for in the realm of Ayurvedic cuisine, every bite is a melodic revelation, a harmonious rhapsody of beauty, nourishment, and bliss.
