We all know the bustle that comes with the holidays. And even more so if we are traveling to see family and friends (or maybe escape them!) Wherever you may go, it is important to remember some few Ayurvedic tips and concepts while traveling to ensure that you feel grounded, energized and glowing through this potentially high stress holiday season.
Grounded. Glowing. Energized.
1. Protect Your Agni While Traveling
Your digestive fire is your foundation. Travel weakens it, so support it daily through a few actionable steps:
Do this:
- Choose warm, cooked meals (dals, soups, khichdi) on the day of travel and for your first meal once you land
- Bring ginger tea bags with you to the airport and sip prior to the flight and during.
- Eat at consistent times to stabilize digestion – so that means as soon as you arrive at your destination, adjust to the new timing of meals. This helps your body regulate with the natural rhythms of your new location.
Why it helps: Strong Agni = steady energy, clear skin, and less bloating.
2. Calm Vata in the Air
Travel naturally increases Vata, causing anxiety, dryness, and restlessness.
Do this:
- Stay warm, carry socks and a scarf or blanket to cover yourself in the cold airplane air.
- Apply warm sesame before sleep once you arrive to your destination to ensure a good night’s rest.
- Avoid excess caffeine; keep your space soothing.
Why it helps: Balanced Vata means calmer nerves and deeper sleep and a more clear mind.
3. Keep a Simple Dinacharya on the Go
Routine anchors your system, especially when traveling.
Do this:
- Ensure consistent wake and sleep times.
- Stretch for 5–10 minutes each morning.
- Practice Nadi Shodhana for clarity and calm.
Why it helps: Consistency signals safety to the body, boosting immunity and energy.

Crafting a Personalized Vitality Pathway
Growth often asks something of us. Discomfort appears like a toll we pay to evolve, and the mind—ever faithful to its old patterns—tries to steer us back to what feels known. This isn’t a flaw; it’s an ancient safety mechanism. The trouble is that, in modern life, we’re rarely escaping predators—we’re navigating the shadows within ourselves.
Let’s take a moment to widen the view. Across traditions, ten human tendencies are said to steer us off balance. Call them vices, call them obstacles, but in clear language they are: lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, jealousy, hatred, deceit, stubbornness, and laziness.
How does this intersect with Ayurveda and your healing journey? These qualities take root in body consciousness. When body consciousness is muddled or strained, imbalance takes form—eventually expressing itself as physical or emotional dis-ease.
The most powerful way to nourish body consciousness is to live in alignment with your life purpose. But discovering purpose is not a dramatic reveal; it’s a slow unfurling. It reveals itself through experience, through refinement, and through the unmistakable inner cues of clarity, ease, and quiet joy.
At Kreem Shakti, we hold Ayurveda as a richly layered system—far more than doshas, herbs, routines, or dietary choices. It is a living philosophy, one that invites us into wholeness. Our approach blends Vedic wisdom, spiritual insight, and the gifts of both Western and Eastern medical perspectives. Together, they create a grounded, compassionate framework that supports you in meeting your inner obstacles honestly and releasing the roots of suffering..
