Osoba Odra potrzebuje twojego WSPARCIA!

Po wielu miesiącach przygotowań, 13 października ruszyła inicjatywa obywatelska ‘PRAWA NATURY’. Celem jest uznanie Natury za podmiot prawa, a nie tylko jego przedmiot do ochrony. Chodzi o to aby ekosystemy przyrody posiadały prawne uznanie praw do istnienia, integralności, regeneracji i odbudowy po wyrządzonej szkodzie jak i stworzenie możliwości reprezentowania Natury przed sądem.

Rozwiązanie to funkcjonuje już w około 20 państwach na świecie. Przykładem jest Ekwador, który jako pierwszy kraj na świecie wpisał prawa Natury (Pachamama) bezpośrednio do konstytucji, czy rzeka Magpie w Kanadzie, która otrzymała status prawny dzięki inicjatywom lokalnych społeczności.

Teraz pojawia się szansa, by temat praw Natury w Polsce był formalnie podjęty na poziomie Unii Europejskiej. Potrzeba zebrać miliona ważnych podpisów z conajmniej 7 krajów UE, by Komisja Europejska była zobowiązana rozpatrzeć inicjatywę i przedstawić swoje stanowisko.

Jeśli czujesz, że ten temat jest Ci bliski i pragniesz wesprzeć rzekę Odrę, możesz dać swój podpis na oficjalnej stronie Komisji Europejskiej:
https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2026/000006_pl ✍️

Co jeszcze mozesz zrobic?
- podzielic sie ta informacja na swoich social media - napisac posta - nagrac wideo - podzielic sie linkiem do strony Komisji Europejskiej - opowiedziec o tej inicjatywie w swoim srodowisku - udostepnic ten post lub materialy innych osób np. Osoba Odra

Twój glos ma znaczenie. Każde z podjętych działań pomoże w dotarciu do większej liczby ludzi 🫶

Z miloscia,
Asia

We are transitioning to vata (space + air) season now. This is the time when in Northern Hemisphere we experience more cold, dry and rough conditions. With that constant shift of weather, there is an impact on our metabolism and during vata time, our agni - digestive fire, naturally increases.

Following ritucharya, which translates in Sanskrit as seasonal teacher, can help us cultivate more balance and harmony throughout ever changing cycles. From mindful eating to cultivating small, daily practices, we can find more GROUNDING, SOFTNESS and STABILITY that vata dosa benefits from.

Here are few seasonal guidelines for your daily wellness practices:

🍁 source your food from ethical, fresh, local and organic producers
🍁 focus on simply prepared, regular, cooked meals that contain all 6 tastes (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, astringent, bitter)
🍁 favor oils like ghee and sesame for deeper body lubrication
🍁 use moderately warming spices like ginger, turmeric, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom to support digestion
🍁 slight increase of sweet, sour, salty flavors will help with counterbalancing vata qualities
🍁 for best support of your agni cultivate attitude of gratitude
🍁 keep your body hydrated by sipping warm water
🍁 keep your airway passage clear with regular neti pot rinse and with nasya oil lubrication
🍁 relaxing self oil massage - abhyanga is a great practice for the whole body that supports proper circulation, lymph drainage, softens the skin and improves your sleep
🍁 establish regular, daily routine that will help to provide stability
🍁 time in nature helps to build ojas and keeps nervous system calm
🍁 get sufficient rest and warmth to help the body to regrow and regenerate
🍁 silent time and regular meditation brings more peace, clarity and harmony - sattva
🍁 avoid extremes - less is more - practice moderation

Wishing you calm and soothing vata season 💨

One of my fine discoveries from wildly foraged plants this summer is Ivan Chai, known as fireweed tea. Also goes by name rosebay willowherb, because its leaves look like a willow plant. It’s a narrow alternate leaf plant from the evening primrose family ‘epilobium angustifolium’. Likes to grow on slightly acidic soil and full sun like burned or logged areas and forest edges. Fireweed is one of the first plants to grows in an area of devastation, bringing healing and renewal to the earth.

It’s viewed through holistic and herbal lens as cooling, calming and restorative herb, though it is native to Russian and European folk rather than classical Ayurveda. Ivan Chai consist of dried leaves that are slightly fermented. I fermented mine for about 6 days in a warm, summer days. Thank you for the recipe inspiration Leah - Foraging & Nature Connection. The result is a tea that tastes very much like black tea, only with no caffeine.

Looking at Ivan Chai through Ayurvedic lens:

* non-stimulating, calming beverage that does not aggravate the nervous system (governed by vata)
* considered soothing, cooling, and balancing to daily stress and physical tension
* due to astringent taste, traditionally is used to support and tone stomach tissue and ease minor digestive discomfort
* used as a relaxing evening tonic to support natural rest and help with occasional sleeplessness
* anti-inflammatory compounds like tannins and polyphenols helps to balance overproduction of mucus (kapha imbalance) and reducing inflammation
* contains a high level of antioxidants helps to boost the immune system; also helps to burn fat, restores the metabolism, and cleans out toxins and heavy metals
* high in iron, copper, potassium and calcium; lowers blood pressure and relieves the symptoms of fever (balancing pitta)

Wondering into the wild and finding what Nature gives us at any point in seasonal cycle, certainly has been helping me with aligning deeper with its ever changing rhythms.

What are your wild summer findings, that helps you bring closer to seasonal living?

Living in alignment with natures rhythms is at the core of Ayurvedic health. When we find the right type of foods and activities that support our balance, we feel more aliveness, joy and peace within. Summer, pitta season offers us so much diversity in many ways. One of them are fruits, which can be often found no further than in your local woods, community gardens, parks or hedgerows.

Picking them while visiting my homeland,
Poland brought some good childhood memories. Engaging with wild foraging helps me to connect to my ancestors, who knew this skill very well and were deeply connected to their land. For me, it’s best part of the summer when I’m out in nature, finding it’s wild bounty.

This season findings included lots of wild berries info. blueberries + leaf, whitecurrants, redcurrants, raspberries + leaf, cherries, strawberries, blackberries + leaf and some summer apples.
One of the way I’d eat them during this time is raw and in lightly spiced stew fruit or kompot.

Fruit is cooling and best to enjoy in the summer. Sticking to seasonal and local growth will be best choice for supporting your gut health. It’s taste, rasa is mainly sweet, sour and astringent. Most fruit is light and sattvic so they purify body and mind. In general it builds the blood, helps regulate sugar metabolism, supports elimination and mildly cleanses and nurture. For instance, some of them that are considered rasayana fruit, bring about rejuvenation and detoxification as well as nourishment.

Wishing you much seasonal alignment and joy!

Pitta time, the season of heat, light, expansion and mobility. Despite high humidity in some parts of the world, the cumulative heat has drying effect on the body and mind, hence summer is considered drying too.

When pitta accumulates, our systems overheat and get dry so we may experience symptoms like enhanced belching, skin problems (eczema, acne), loose stools, quick to hunger, burning sensation, inflammation, fever, excessive sweating, feel easily irritated or angry, sight problems or being impatient.

Ayurveda offers us simple, effective ways of adjusting our unique constituents - prakruti to ever changing seasons, through lifestyle - vihar and diet - ahar, to feel nourished and at ease rather than depleted, few weeks/months down the road.

How to balance pitta naturally?
• eat heavier, lightly cocked, warm meals with a moderate use of spices: fennel, coriander, cumin, dill, turmeric, ginger (for best support of your agni - digestive fire)
• eat at consistent times within 4-6h (to allow the body fully digest previous meal)
• choose seasonal, local, fresh foods over processed, refined sugar foods
• favour primarily SWEET - BITTER - ASTRINGENT (coconut, maple syrup, ghee, quinoa, rice, parsnip, carrot, blueberry, raspberry, gooseberry, blackberry, avocado, cucumber, cabbage, leafy greens, climbing peas) and limit SPICY - SOUR - SALTY ones (tomatoes, chillies, garlic, onion, fermented foods, coffee, red meat, alcohol)
• choose wild herbs and edibles: stinging nettle, rose hip , chamomile, aloe vera, calendula, mint, meadow sweet, plantain, sorrel, clever to name a few..
• look after your hydration levels; have your meals cooked in water and sip regularly on small amounts of room temp. water
• cultivate compassionate, grounding and softening way of movement rather than competitive approach (yoga, t’ai chi, swimming or walks in nature)
• cool your mind with practicing meditation and Moon gazing; Ayurveda’s principle is ‘like attracts like and opposite brings balance’ so by pausing you balance pitta’s intensity
• engage more with playful, creative and leisure activities

Whenever you take a walk now, you can’t help but notice the beautiful colours and smells of wildly blossoming plants. One of them that I’d like to share about is ‚Rose hip’ ~ ‚Wild rose’ ~ ’Rosa canina’. In Ayurveda it’s valued for its astringent (🫐 + 💨) and cooling properties, something that nature gives as for balancing the hot, sharp, intense and dry qualities. It’s a powerful tri-doshic remedy that pacified all three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) - specifically celebrated for balancing excess heat in the body. It’s got primarily astringent, sweet and slightly bitter taste (rasa) with light and dry quality (guna). It’s action (prabhava) is heart supporting and rejuvenating - nourishes deeply the tissues and boost vitality (rasayana). It helps to pacify digestive heat, ulcers and inflammatory skin conditions. Taken topically works well on skin complexion, heals wrinkles and improves elasticity. Taken internally (tea - decoction - juice) helps to clear toxins (ama), soothes respiratory track and supports digestion.

This season, I was inspired to create soothing skin tonic - a simple recipe for balancing pitta symptoms (🔥+ 💦)

Method:
Freshly picked wild rose petals cover with filtered water (ratio 1:4) and bring to simmer for about 30min.
Take off the heat and let it cool before straining the liquid into a glass dish/bottle.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Apply on tired, dry skin in the morning and evening for cleansing, soothing and hydrating effect.
Enjoy the smell as you do so 🙂
