Liquid Gold: Why Ghee Is a Daily Ritual for Me
Known as “liquid gold” in Ayurveda, ghee is more than just a food—it’s a consciousness enhancer.
Ghee is simply clarified butter, but don’t let the simplicity fool you. It’s a powerhouse of healthy fats, brain-boosting vitamins, and gut-soothing compounds. It’s a slow-burning fuel, a balm for the nervous system, and a quiet signal to your subconscious: “I am choosing to nourish myself”.
Here’s how I integrate ghee into my daily routine—and how it aligns with the five key intentions for intentional living:
1. Leverage Energy Over Time
I add ghee to my morning tonic or cooking because it offers sustained energy without the crash. It’s packed with medium-chain fatty acids that help regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, and aid in detoxification. Rather than relying on quick fixes, ghee fuels me with consistency so I can move through the day with clarity and vitality.
2. Embrace Discipline Over Rigidity
For me, adding ghee to my routine is a small but powerful act of nourishment. Whether it's in a warm drink, drizzled over vegetables, or even massaged into the skin, ghee becomes a daily ritual that reminds me that discipline can be loving, soothing, and regenerative.
3. Choose Love Over Fear
Ghee soothes the gut and supports the parasympathetic nervous system. That means it helps me regulate stress and stay grounded. When I take the time to nourish myself with something so healing, I’m reinforcing a positive belief loop: I am worthy of love and care.
4. Practice Presence Over Comparison
The gut-brain connection is real. When I include ghee in my day, I notice greater cognitive clarity and emotional balance. It keeps me rooted in the now—less scattered, less reactive, and more centered. That clarity makes it easier to stay present and resist the pull of comparison or distraction.
5. Prioritize Feelings Over Outcomes
Ghee helps me feel radiant. It’s not about results—weight, performance, or productivity—it’s about tuning into what nourishes me. Ghee is warm, rich, and satisfying. It reminds me to lead with feeling: to choose what lights me up and feeds my body, mind, and soul.
This isn’t about glorifying a food. It’s about recognizing the sacred power in small choices. When you choose ghee, you’re not just supporting your health—you’re affirming your commitment to living with Intentionality.
So tomorrow morning, as you brew your tea or prepare your breakfast, ask yourself: “What would it feel like to nourish my body today?” That’s the kind of question that creates real transformation.
