True to Yourself with Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a practical spiritual path home for anyone navigating anxiety, burnout, insomnia, heartbreak, or disconnection from purpose — because the hero's journey we're all on was never about reaching a place, but remembering who we truly are and living true to that self in how we eat, love, rest, and rise. Drawing on 15 years of lineage-based monastic study in Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Divine Feminine wisdom, alongside today's most advanced integrative and energy healing practices — work embraced by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Frank Lipman, and shared at Stanford School of Medicine, NYU, and UNICEF — Ananta guides listeners through the same 9-step chakra healing journey mapped in her bestselling, 8-time award-winning book, The Way of the Goddess (bit.ly/goddess-way).

Each week explores one chakra through:

* Ritual — Ayurvedic practices for energy, digestion, immunity, and fertility
* Reflection — lessons and archetypes for your Divine Feminine Hero's Journey
* Release — healing anxiety, insomnia, trauma patterns, narcissistic abuse, and codependent cycles at the root

Nine chakras. Nine weeks. One continuous spiral home to yourself.
New episodes weekly.


Press play and remember who you are.

    044: Grounding Exercises for Anxiety: Ayurvedic Rituals to Feel Stable & Safe | Root Chakra Ritual
    Jul 15 2026
    If anxiety relief, genuine nervous system regulation, and a truly settled sense of safety feel just out of reach — no matter how much you understand about why you feel this way — this episode is for you.Most grounding exercises for anxiety address the mind. Ayurveda goes deeper — to the body itself, the nervous system, the daily rhythm — as the primary site where real stability is built and where the root chakra is either nourished or depleted, one day at a time.In Part 2 of our Root Chakra exploration, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — shares the specific Ayurvedic rituals she has returned to again and again across fifteen years of study and her own personal healing journey. Not as anxiety coping strategies to get through the day, but as devotional practices that, over time, teach the nervous system something it may have forgotten:You are safe here. You are supported. You are held.In this episode you will discover:Why feeling anxious for no reason is often the root chakra speaking — not a personality trait or a permanent conditionHow Ayurvedic rituals work differently from conventional grounding activities — and why the intention behind the practice matters as much as the practice itselfWhy consistent daily rhythm may be the most underestimated anxiety coping strategy available to us3 grounding exercises for anxiety — powerful rituals you can easily incorporate into your daily routineWhat it feels like when the body finally learns — not just intellectually, but cellularly — that it is safe to be hereTAKE YOUR NEXT STEPWant a complete Ayurvedic foundation — at your own pace?The Ayurveda Lifestyle In-Depth Program gives you everything: your constitution, your rhythms, your healing. → bit.ly/ayurveda-lifestyleSerious about your growth?Join the Circle of Life Community — a free, by-interview space for those called to heal deeply and give generously. 2026 Global Health & Pharma Award winner. → theancientway.co/communityYou were never meant to walk this journey alone.Join The Ancient Way Village — our free community with book club, Q&As, daily spiritual practices and like-hearted people walking this path alongside you. → bit.ly/ancientwayvillage Done the work — but still feel something deeper holding you back?Book your free Sovereign Within sample session. 7 healing modalities woven into an integrated experience, including Dr. Nelson's Body Code, Emotion Code, and Belief Code alongside Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Vedic Astrology.
