wait I'm curious. was it the word 'chiz'? my dad always just refers to the remote as 'oon' lmao

lmaooooo nah, chiz is like....... a VERY common filler word that gets used ALL the time. i swear, i am very much fluent in farsi!! also, i realistically think chiz translates to thing, more than a "technical thingamabob." but lolol at oon... tbh same

no, the word was "masmasak" ("musmusak?" idk how to write in fingilisi...) which like honestly... i have realistically never heard anyone use that in ANY context other than about the remote control!!!!!! that's why i just thoUGHT THAT WAS THE WORD!!!!!!!

"According to Ayurveda, every action has an energetic reaction. When you eat a balanced diet, you feel mentally balanced. When you begin your days in meditation, you have more meditative days. When you treat your body with love, more love will show up in all aspects of your life. These little things you do, like soak your beans and dry brush your body, aren't just so you win the Ayurvedic lottery. It's so your body and mind are no longer obstacles preventing you from accessing your deeper soul self."

-Sahara Rose Ketabi, Ayurveda (2017)

"The founders of Ayurveda discovered healing uses of the things around them, from common herbs to oils. Food was seen as medicine, and each meal was your daily prescription. Because Ayurveda was the first health system, much of what we practice today actually stems from Ayurvedic tradition. The way we think about food, beauty, and medicine comes from Ayurvedic influences. Today more than ever before, people are looking back at this ancient wisdom for its long-standing existence. If you are a coconut oil addict, home remedy maven, or herbal tea connoisseur, you are practicing Ayurveda already."

COLLAGE ON VIEW

I'll Be Your Mirror

Audrey Guttman at Ketabi Projects in Paris, France through 19 February 2022. Boris Bergmann wrote about this show, "Born from an infinite array of pre-existing images–visions torn from old magazines, advertisements, traces of a forgotten past that Audrey Guttman carefully preserves–collage blurs lines. It allows the artist to disappear, to feel safe. However, it is also a revealing agent: each work becomes the reflection of an intense inner life. Alternately crossed by emotions, memories, sensations, collage defies fixed images, their definite and limited meaning. It works with the image like the poem does with the word." MORE

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one's thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.

این رمان یک فصل از همه عاشقانه‌هایی است که اتفاق می‌افتند اما اتفاقی نیستند. عاشقانه‌ای که از همان اولش می‌دانی یک نیمه اش تا ابد باید به دنبال نیمه دیگرش بگردد و انتظار بکشد. نیمه پنهان از قضا همان نیمه خاموشی است که اینجا روایت می‌شود و خودش را توی سکوت جا می‌گذارد. رونده اما حرف می‌زند. همه چیز را تعریف می‌کند و با این تعریف خودش را مرور می‌کند. فرصتی به آنی و نفسی که می‌گویند دم مرگ هست و برای همه کافی است. این رمان قصه ی مردی است عاشق که به طور همزمان گرفتار کابوسی شده که سه زن برایش ساخته‌اند؛ همسر سابقش و دختری که او را می‌خواهد و دختری که تحسین، عاشقش شده. نویسنده ای برابر فرشته مرگ قصه اش را می گوید تا شهرزادی باشد که مهلت می جوید. اما مگر نه اینکه بارها و بارها تاکید می کند که تو آگاهی و همه چیز را می دانی و چیزی به ساحت تو ناپیدا نیست؟! از این نویسنده پیش از این رمان «شوهر عزیز من» (چاپ هشتم) ، «قصه‌های یک‌دقیقه‌ای» (چاپ سوم) و «سی‌سا سیاوش» (چاپ دوم) و «پسران گل» (چاپ سوم) و رمان های «ولادیمیر می گوید»، «افسانه پسرک»، «کشور ده متری»، «جزیره افسونگران»، «سنجاقکی نشسته بر کف استخر»، «دختر نفرین شده» و «شهر یخ های خیلی یخ» در نشر آموت به چاپ رسیده است. عکس و متن از: @razii_ghs www.ketabism.ir #کتاب #کتابیست #کتابیسم #معرفی_کتاب #پیشنهاد_کتاب #book#ketab#ketabist#ketabis #عاشقانه #فریبا_کلهر #نشر_آموت (at Tehran, Iran)

An Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda: Night-time Routines

This post is part of a series based on my reading of Sahara Rose Ketabi's "Ayurveda (Idiot's Guide)". 

Around 6pm, when the second Kapha period begins for the day, it is time to slow down for sleep. Ketabi calls this "sleep foreplay", which essentially suggests that you must set the mood for sleep in order for it to occur and in order for you to reap the full benefits of it. 

Turn off the Tech

Turn off screens at least 1 hour before bed time, and read a book - essentially anything that doesn't require you "cuddling up with your smartphone" instead.

"Set the Scent"

Aromatherapy is a powerful way of soothing a worked up nervous system. Ketabi recommends a few drops of the following oils in a diffuser of some sort to bring about restfulness: 

Lavender

Chamomile

Rose

Frankincense

Neroli

Lights

Artificially scented candles should be avoided. Ketabi cites a study in this section of her book which states that the long term use of "paraffin candles" may cause cancer, allergies, and asthma. These candles often contain harmful chemicals too. Further, the soot that comes from scented candles only ends up creating inside air pollution Should you yearn for candles, then Ketabi recommends choosing all-natural soy candles that are fragranced with essential oils.

For the right mood-lighting, consider Pink Himalayan sea salt lights, which provide a pink glow that can put you to sleep. These lights are said to improve air quality, soothe allergies, boost mood and work as a sort of light therapy, which is especially helpful for those affected by seasonal affective disorder, writes Ketabi. 

Dry Brushing

After turning off the tech and setting the mood - light wise and scent wise - now's the time to dry brush the body. This is an ayurvedic practice that involves scraping off the dead skin cells just before showering. It is especially useful in stimulating the lymphatic system. Doing this for 5 minutes a day can help to keep the lymphatic system strong, and to get rid of the toxins that have already set up shop on and in the body.

To dry brush, follow the steps below:

Move the brush up the arms using firm yet gentle strokes. Brush all the angles of the arms in long strokes, and focus on the areas where you have rough/raised bumps.

Once you've done both arms, move up to the chest and the stomach. Use several long but lighter strokes that move towards the heart.

Stroke the back, and try and focus on the lower back, where we tend to have lots of dead skin cells.

Start doing several long strokes upwards on the feet. Dry brush all sides of the legs, and pay particular attention to those areas where you may have cellulite, as this practice can help to reduce it.

Ketabi recommends using a separate, softer and smaller brush to dry brush the face should you wish to.

To maintain cleanliness, wash the brush once a week in 1 cup warm water with 3 cups of tea tree oil or neem. To dry, lay the brush down on a towel.

Self-Oil Massage, or abhyanga

After dry brushing, which leaves the skin dry after exfoliation, it is recommended that you perform a self-oil massage in order to hydrate the skin. This can be either before the shower or after the shower. Drier skin types would likely benefit from doing this after the shower, since warm water dries the skin further.

Oil is better than creams and lotions because it is easier for the skin to absorb and contains no chemicals. "Ayurveda states you shouldn't put anything on your skin you wouldn't eat; would you eat your chemical-laden lotions?"

The sanskrit word for oil is sneha which also happens to mean love. Thus, when giving yourself an oil-massage, make it a practice of giving love to yourself. To achieve this, simply follow Ketabi's recommendations as below:

Warm up the oil by either: (a) filling the amount you require in a glass bottle, then submerging it in a pot of hot water on the strove; (b) hold the glass bottle under running water until it is warm (not recommended as this is a waste of water); (c) pour a tablespoon of oil in your pam and rub it for ˜30 seconds until heat has generated between your hands and warmed it up.

Create a small pool of the warm oil in your hands, then rub it into your arms. Pay attention to the back of your arms, elbows, and around your wrists.

After doing your arms, rub more oil into your hands and begin massaging your abdomen, using circular motions that go in a counter clockwise direction. This is the direction of your colon and so moving your hands in this way can help with digestion. Go up to the right side, across the abdomen, then down to the left. 

Bring the oil up to your chest in slow strokes that move in the direction of your heart. 

Add more oil to your hands, and then massage your back to release the tension stored there. 

Put yet more oil into your hands and massage your butt and down your legs.

Oil your feet and put socks on after to prevent the oil from escaping.

Ketabi suggests that different types of doshas require abhyanga in differing amounts, and will also require different types of oils throughout the process. For:

Vatas: 5 times a week or every day in cold weather; sesame oil, almond oil.

Pittas: 3 times a week; coconut oil, sunflower oil. Oil doesn't need to be heated for this dosha type.

Kaphas: 2 times a week; sesame, almond or olive oil. 

Nasal Cleaning

Most airborne diseases begin in the nasal passage, and the fact that you are constantly breathing in toxins from the air, from fragrances, from pollution, and so on, itself warrants your cleaning your nostrils occasionally. 

Neti

One way of cleaning the nose is to use neti pots (avoid plastic). 

Wash your pot and make sure its clean.

In a pan, put 1 or 2 cups of water to boil to disinfect. Allow the water to cool o room temperature to ensure you don't burn your nostrils. When warm, pour it into the pot.

Add 1/4 teaspoon sea salt per 1/2 cup warm water and stir well.

Stand over a sink, place the tip of the neti pot spout into your nostril, then tilt your head sideways without moving the head forward or backward. The water should enter one nostril and come out the other. Breathe through your mouth as you work. Use 1/2 of the water in one nostril.

Repeat the process with the remaining water in the other nostril. 

Neti is highly recommended for cold/flu/allergy season.

Nasya

Nasya involves using oil to lubricate the nasal passages, and is therefore recommended after completing a neti cleanse. Since salt water can dry out the nasal passage and result in the creation of more mucus to protect the membranes, nasya uses oil to avoid this. You can buy nasya oil - which is a combination of sesame oil and medicinal herbs - or you can simply use sesame oil.

You can practice nasya by simply squirting the oil up your nose whilst lying on your back. To do this, simply:

Lie down on your bed and tilt you head backwards off the edge to make sure that it is leaning back;

Release with a dropper 5-10 drops of room temperature nasya oil in each nostril

Inhale deeply and lie still so the oil can work its way into the nasal passages.

The other way of performing nasya is by simply putting the oil in your pinky and putting it into your nostril that way - it won't be as deep as the other way, but it's a start.

"When you enunciate a mantra, your tongue taps certain points of the roof of your mouth, sending signals to your hypothalamus, which regulates the chemical activity of your brain and whole body. By repeating the mantra, these sound patterns become inscribed in your brain and you wake up your dormant, unconscious mind. As you repeat the mantra, you get lost in its echo and your sense of ego temporarily fades. Your sounds cary electromagnetic vibrations and reflect your thoughts, and by elevating your vibrations by repeating scared Sanskrit chants or positive affirmations, you elevate your thoughts. Mantras enhance your mood, intuition, awareness, compassion, and even immunity. Through mantra, you realize your own inner power and who you truly are."

-Sahara Rose Ketabi, Ayurveda (2017)
