Ignite Your Energy: Dosha-Balancing Rituals for Vitality

Blissful Living 4 U - Ignite Your Energy: Dosha-Balancing Rituals for Vitality

Author: Dr. Rochel Marie Lawson

Let’s keep it real—how many mornings have you opened your eyes, reached for the snooze button, and whispered, “I just need five more minutes…”?

And not because you’re lazy. Not because you stayed up too late. But because no matter how much rest you think you’re getting, your energy is running on empty.

If this sounds like you, Queen, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
You’re simply out of alignment.

Meet Monica: Burnout in Disguise

Monica was a powerhouse entrepreneur, managing a fast-growing wellness brand while raising two kids and caring for her aging parents. She was always on—until she wasn’t.

By the time she came to me, she had zero energy. “I feel like someone pulled my plug out of the wall,” she said.

Her labs were “normal,” her sleep seemed okay, and her diet was “clean” … but her vitality was gone.

That’s when I introduced her to the Ayurvedic truth: Energy isn’t just physical. It’s elemental. It’s doshic.

Energy According to Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, your energy—or Ojas—is your life force. It fuels not just your body, but your clarity, resilience, focus, joy, and intuition.

When Ojas is strong, you glow from the inside out.
When it’s depleted, you feel dull, drained, and disconnected.

And the state of your Ojas is deeply tied to your dosha constitution: Vata, Pitta, or Kapha.

Signs of Imbalance:

  • Bursts of energy followed by extreme crashes
  • Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or spacey

  • Grounding morning routine: Wake at the same time daily, meditate before touching your phone.
  • Warm oil self-massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or ashwagandha oil
  • Eat warm, nourishing foods: Oats, soups, root vegetables, ghee
  • Slow movement: Yin yoga or walking meditations in nature
  • Mantra for Balance: “I am safe. I am grounded. I am enough.”

PITTA: The Fire Queen

Signs of Imbalance:

  • Overdrive energy, burning out by mid-afternoon
  • Irritability, judgment, digestive inflammation
  • Overexercising, overworking, overachieving

Ayurvedic Energy Rituals for Pitta:

  • Cooling breathwork: Sheetali pranayama each morning

  • Cooling foods: Cucumber, mint, rice, steamed greens

  • Cravings for sugar, naps, or caffeine
  • Mental fog, emotional heaviness, procrastination

Ayurvedic Energy Rituals for Kapha:

  • Rise before 6 AM for a burst of early Vata inspiration
  • Stimulating self-massage with mustard or eucalyptus oil
  • Dry brushing before shower to activate lymph and circulation
  • Spicy, light meals: Ginger, turmeric, lentils, bitter greens
  • Dance, cardio, or HIIT to shake off the stagnation
  • Mantra for Balance: “I am light. I move forward. I am energized.”

The Energy–Purpose–Profit Connection

Now Fabby, here’s where the magic really happens…

When your doshas are aligned and your energy flows, something divine clicks:

  • You speak with clarity in your business.
  • You feel magnetic in your presence.
  • You attract aligned clients, opportunities, and income.
  • You reclaim your creative power and decision-making brilliance.

That’s the Ayurvedic edge most entrepreneurs miss.
Energy isn’t just about productivity. It’s the fuel behind your purpose.

My Blissful Energy Ritual (Tridoshic)

This is the daily vitality system I teach inside my AST Discovery Sessions and Blissful Living Blueprint:

  1. Morning sunlight + lemon water upon rising
  2. 5-minute gratitude journaling + deep breathing
  3. Tailored abhyanga or dry brushing
  4. Dosha-specific tea (Tulsi for Vata, peppermint for Pitta, ginger for Kapha)
  5. Conscious movement before starting the workday
  6. Midday energy reset: stretch, hydrate, go outside
  7. Evening wind-down with herbal tea, lavender oil, and screen-free space

Trust me—this shifts your energy, vision, and vibration.

What Happened to Monica?

We discovered her Vata-Pitta imbalance was creating high bursts of energy followed by extreme depletion. Once we implemented her customized energy protocol, everything shifted.

She told me, “I feel awake. And not just physically—my creativity is back. I’m inspired again.”

And in just three weeks, she relaunched her brand, restructured her offers, and doubled her income. That’s the power of aligned energy.

Queen, Your Radiance Is Renewable

If you’re running on empty, barely getting through your day, feeling like your spark has fizzled, it’s time to stop forcing and start realigning.

You were never meant to hustle your way to exhaustion.
You were born to lead with vitality, wisdom, and bliss.

Sleep Like a Queen: Ayurvedic Secrets to Deep Rest

Blissful Living 4 U - Sleep Like a Queen: Ayurvedic Secrets to Deep Rest

Author: Dr. Rochel Marie Lawson 

Let me ask you something, Queen…

When was the last time you truly woke up feeling rested—body, mind, and soul?

Not just functioning, not just caffeinated and ready to hustle—but genuinely restored, like your body had been kissed by the cosmos while you slept?

For too many high-achieving women I serve—entrepreneurs, professionals, healers, and go-getters like you—sleep is broken. And it’s not just about the number of hours. It’s about the quality of your rest. That deep, cellular, soul-satisfying kind of sleep.

And the truth is, if you’re not sleeping well, you’re not healing, you’re not manifesting at full power, and you’re not creating wealth, wellness, or wisdom at the level you could be.

Sandra’s Story: Sleepless and Stuck

Sandra, a high-performing VP in tech and longtime client of mine, once told me, “I go to bed at midnight, I toss until 2, then I’m up again at 5 to run the household and run my business. I’m exhausted.”

She wore her sleeplessness like a badge of honor—until her body gave out.

Hair loss. Anxiety. Weight gain. Foggy thinking. Business stagnation.

That’s when she found her way to Ayurveda—and to me. And what we uncovered was shocking: her sleep issues weren’t random. They were rooted in her imbalanced doshas and decades of ignoring her body’s signals.

Ayurveda’s Sacred Perspective on Sleep

In Ayurveda, sleep—Nidra—is considered one of the three pillars of life (alongside food and aligned relationships). It’s not optional. It’s essential.

Poor sleep leads to:

  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Accelerated aging
  • Weak immunity
  • Mental instability
  • Blocked intuition and creative flow

Ayurveda teaches us that restful sleep is a sign of aligned living. When your doshas are balanced, sleep comes easily, like a lullaby sung by the universe.

Understanding Doshas and Sleep Patterns

Let’s break it down…

Vata-Type Sleep Imbalance

  • Traits: Difficulty falling asleep, light sleeper, vivid or chaotic dreams
  • Root Cause: Too much movement in the mind, overstimulation, anxiety
  • Ayurvedic Tips:
    • Create a strict bedtime (10 PM latest!)
    • Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil
    • Drink warm almond milk with nutmeg before bed
    • Do calming pranayama (Nadi Shodhana or Moon Breath)
    • Avoid screen time and cold/raw foods after 6 PM

Pitta-Type Sleep Imbalance

  • Traits: Wakes up between 2–4 AM with a racing mind, heat in the body, frustration
  • Root Cause: Excess fire element, overworking, stress
  • Ayurvedic Tips:
    • Avoid spicy, fried, or fermented foods at dinner
    • Try a cooling herbal tea: chamomile + rose + fennel
    • Meditate with cooling mantras (Om Shanti)
    • Sleep in a cool, dark room
    • Let go of “mental to-do lists” by journaling before bed

Kapha-Type Sleep Imbalance

  • Traits: Oversleeps but still feels tired, difficulty waking up, heavy body
  • Root Cause: Stagnation, heaviness in digestion, lack of stimulation
  • Ayurvedic Tips:
    • Rise before 6 AM to harness early Vata energy
    • Light dinner, ideally before 7 PM
    • Use stimulating oils (mustard or eucalyptus) for morning massage
    • Morning sun exposure and brisk walking to reset circadian rhythm

The Ayurvedic Evening Routine (Ratricharya)

This ancient nighttime routine helps train your body to rest deeply:

  1. Digital Detox – No screens after 8 PM. Period.
  2. Warm Bath or Foot Soak – Add lavender or sandalwood oil
  3. Abhyanga – Gentle oil massage to calm your nervous system
  4. Herbal Tea or Golden Milk – Use ashwagandha, nutmeg, or brahmi
  5. Meditation or Gratitude Journaling – Let go of the day with love
  6. Lights Out by 10 PM – In alignment with the natural Kapha wind-down

Sleep is sacred. And in Ayurveda, it’s considered an act of healing, not escape.

The Energy–Wealth–Sleep Connection

When you’re sleep-deprived, your mind becomes foggy, your intuition weakens, and your capacity to attract and hold abundance becomes compromised.

Poor sleep creates:

  • Decision fatigue in business
  • Emotional dysregulation in relationships
  • Blocked creativity in your mission
  • Disconnection from divine guidance in life

But when you sleep like a queen? You command your day. You channel wisdom. You attract prosperity.

Ayurveda reminds us: true wealth begins with deep rest.

What Happened to Sandra?

After we tailored her evening ritual and started detoxing her Pitta imbalance, Sandra started sleeping through the night within three days.

Within a month, she landed her company’s biggest contract of the year and told me, “This is the best I’ve felt since my twenties.”

And all she did was sleep.

Ready to Reclaim Your Rest?

You don’t need another pill, another glass of wine, or another week of “pushing through.” What you need is alignment.

Sleep is the portal to your power, Queen. And I’m here to help you unlock it.
