14 Morning Mantras to Live By

Mantras are meaningful utterances that are believed to have psychological and spiritual powers over us. Whether they are sung, spoken or read, they have the power to bring peace and serenity into our soul, and perhaps heal the emotional pain we may have. Personally, I have found these to work especially well when reflected upon first thing in the morning, helping me to start the day on a peaceful, soothing note. Here are some great mantras you can include in your morning ritual.
 
It's a common habit is to think that our current situation is impossible to change. Remember this: No matter how good or bad a situation is, it will change. 
While planning is good to a certain extent, overdoing it can make us expect too much from certain individuals or situations. Just let go every once in a while, and let life unfold naturally. There's beauty in that too. 
When you do things with your heart, it all feels right, even if it means that you have to drain your energy and face lots of obstacles. 
We are here in this world for each other. Don't let someone ruin your good mood, it's just as easy to spread some positivity and make someone smile. 
One of the secrets that will get you by in life is focus. Don't get too distracted by the negativity other people create. And most importantly, try not to let it influence you on a personal level. 
Remember the times you worked hard to achieve something that you take for granted today? Believe that you can still do that, because you're still the same person within. 
Don't be too hard on yourself, you're not a machine. You learn one step at a time, and in the end, you'll realize it was all worth it. 
While it's good to analyze your situation, make sure you don't over-think it - you'll end up creating problems in your head that weren't even there in the first place. 

 
Move on, don't linger in the past or obsess about the future. What's most important is how you are doing right now, in your present. 
Don't lose yourself in revenge, competitiveness, or jealousy. Soon enough, you'll realize they're all unimportant. 
Don't think with your mind, think with your heart, and be sensitive to the way you perceive different people and situations. Your heart always knows best. 
Today, remind yourself of what is really important. Are you going to dampen the spirits of others by having high expectations and making negative comments? Do everyone a small favor and try to face your day with a little more awareness. 
 
Don't let greed mislead you. It's good to be ambitious just as it's priceless to be thankful for what you have been given or what you have achieved. 
A little bit of gratitude goes a long way. Make an effort to include it in everything you do today.

Various Health Benefits of Ghee / Clarified Butter

Modern science now verifies what Ayurvedic health science has said for thousands of years: Ghee has a host of health and cooking benefits and is good for the mind and spirit.

Ghee —a form of clarified butter—an essential power-food. Here are a few benefits I’ve found through my years of using ghee.

Great For Cooking and Taste

1. Ghee has a high smoke point (250 °C or 482 °F).
You can cook and fry with ghee and it will not break down into free radicals like many other oils.

2. Ghee does not spoil easily so it does not need refrigeration.
Some ghee mixtures last up to 100 years.

3. Ghee is not likely to affect people with a dairy or casein intolerance.
Ghee is made from butter but the milk solids and impurities have been removed, so most people who are lactose or casein intolerant have no issue with ghee.

High Nutrition

4. Ghee is rich in the oil soluble vitamins A and E.
5. Ghee is rich in K2 and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – an antioxidant with anti-viral properties if it is sourced from grass fed cows.

Energy and Weight Management

6.  Ghee is Nutritionally Rich Like Coconut Oil
Ghee is rich in medium chain fatty acids, which are absorbed directly by the liver (like carbs) and burned as energy. Athletes can use ghee as a consistent energy source.


7. Weight Loss
The energy from these medium chain fatty acids can be used to burn other fats in the system and lose weight.

Digestion and Immune Strengthening

Ghee (unlike other oils) is rich in butyric acid, a short chain fatty acid. Beneficial intestinal bacteria convert fiber into butyric acid and then use that for energy and intestinal wall support. A healthy body therefore makes its own form of ‘ghee’ but you can aid that greatly by consuming it.
8. Healthy Digestive Tract
Research shows that people with unhealthy digestive tracts do not produce butyric acid.

9. Healthy Immune System
Research shows that adequate production of butyric acid supports the production of killer T cells in the gut and thus a strong immune system.

10. Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Cancer
  • Researchers are using oral butyrate supplements and butyrate enemas to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
  • Ayurvedic physicians have been using ghee enemas for centuries to decrease inflammation.
11. Strong Appetite
Ghee stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, thus aiding in the digestive process. Better digestion equals better health and weight loss.

Mind and Spirit

12.  Molecules of Emotion
Modern research is now revealing that negative emotions have a chemical nature. This is what ancient cultures have always maintained, that the mind and body are one. These chemicals are attracted to and stored in fat. Ghee can be used to replace those fats. Plus, if used properly as a cleanser, can attract and pull out these toxins so they can be cleansed from the body.

13. Positive Food
Within Ayurveda, ghee is considered one of the most satvic foods. Satvic foods promote positivity, growth and expansion of consciousness.

14.  Holy Cow
The positive subtle effects of ghee is said to come from the fact that it comes freely from cows. Cows are considered special or holy in many Hindu cultures. The milk from cows therefore contains the essence of all those energies and ghee is the essence of the milk.

Herbal Energizer

15.  Fry Your Spices in Ghee
Many of the medicinal properties of herbs and spices can be absorbed and transported to targeted areas of the body with ghee. This is why Ayurveda uses ghee in thousands of different herbal preparations.

You can do the same thing by frying your kitchen spices in ghee before adding them to your dishes.

How To Make Ghee Last long

The two things that will degrade ghee are water and sunlight.
  • Always store your ghee in a container with a good seal in the dark.
  • Ghee will last 2-3 months if you keep it in an airtight container.
  • When kept in a refrigerator, without opening, ghee can last up to a year.
Ghee was once thought to be unhealthy because it is saturated, but research has now revealed the truth about fats and oils. Ghee is one of the seven healthy fats you need in your kitchen.
