In this powerful debut episode of A Talk with G, I welcome you into the heart of Ayurveda by introducing the ancient wisdom of Shad Rasa, the Six Tastes: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Pungent, Bitter, and Astringent.
But this isn’t just about flavor, it’s about energetic nourishment, doshic alignment, and sacred self-awareness.
Through poetic storytelling and practical insight, Gia reveals how rasa, the Sanskrit word for both “taste” and “essence” is a profound form of communication between your body, mind, and soul. This episode explores: The deeper meaning of
rasa as essence, emotion, and nourishment The elemental makeup and effects of each taste on Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Why taste is the first and most intuitive step in true healing How to create balance and prevent disease through conscious eating Ways to reclaim food as a spiritual and sensory practice, not just fuel
Whether you’re brand new to Ayurveda or deepening your journey, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to listen more deeply to your body, your cravings, and the ancient intelligence within.
