Morning begins not with an alarm, but with warmth—
the scent of cardamom, the swirl of golden milk, the slow rise of breath.
This is how I ask the day for permission to begin.

I use Ashwagandha Root Powder by Vadik Herbs every day — earthy, slightly bitter, the way strength should taste.

The Ritual Flow

Warm one cup of oat or almond milk.

Add a teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder and a pinch of turmeric.

Stir slowly, clockwise — clockwise invites expansion.

Sweeten with a drizzle of raw honey and a breath of cinnamon.

Inhale. Sip. Whisper your intention.

Reflection — The Meaning Beneath the Cup

Ashwagandha translates to “smell of a horse,” not because of scent, but because it gifts you the spirit of one—steady, strong, unshakable. I drink it when my courage wavers, when I need to remember that rest is not weakness, it’s how we rebuild fire.

If you prefer capsules, I’ve also loved the Organic Ashwagandha Capsules — simple, travel-safe, and potent.

Closing Ritual — Rebirth Affirmation

Before the last sip, I pause.
I thank the soil, the roots, the sun.
I remind myself that rising doesn’t need to be loud.
It just needs to be honest.

Today, I rise soft and golden
