Kashaya: The Art of Holding What Matters | Season 2 Ep. 020

In this final episode of the Six Tastes series, Gia gently guides us into the subtle, often misunderstood world of Kashaya: the Astringent Taste. This is the taste of containment, pause, and quiet power, the energetic seal that allows us to integrate all we’ve consumed.

Astringent is not loud, it’s disciplined, discerning, and deeply stabilizing. It teaches us how to hold ourselves with integrity, to choose what stays, and to gently release what doesn’t serve.

Inside this episode:

🌾 The Earth + Air elements that give Astringent its grounding and contracting qualities

🛡️ How it pacifies Pitta and Kapha, but can intensify dryness or rigidity in Vata

🪶 The emotional medicine of restraint, boundaries, and sacred stillness

🧘🏽‍♀️ How this taste supports final digestion, not just of food, but of experience

Kashaya invites us into the quiet after transformation, the sacred space where healing settles, and wisdom is woven. This is the taste of embodiment.
