Sun Potion: What does your morning routine look like?
Amrit: I generally wake up, put on some meditation music, oil pull and get ready. I go into my kitchen and begin making my adaptogenic latte filled with good fats and herbs to support my body. I head to my alter, grab my journal and meditate followed by gratitude and future self journaling. I enjoy a slow morning where I am not rushed before I start my day.
Favorite meal to cook at home?
I love being given a bunch of ingredients and just getting creative. Whenever I travel, I take cooking classes so I am inspired to play with different flavors and spices.
Most recent book you’ve read (or listened to)?
When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön.
When you get a moment to yourself, how do you honor your mind and body? ...Are there any practices that support you in moments of stress?
Dancing, yoga or a walk outdoors. Moving my body in a way that feels good to me has been one of the most restorative experiences. I also basically live in the bathtub. I feel at home there and my whole body relaxes. Breathwork has changed my relationship to my body. I find that we are most present when we are in our bodies, and breathwork brings me right back in.
An artist you're inspired by from the past/present/future

Do you have any advice you would give to your younger self and / or to your older, future self?
To my younger self: Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling as it is always valid. You are so much stronger then you can even imagine. Future self: Keep going! It just keeps getting better.
Favorite/current sustainability practice?
Cutting out plastic bags. I love reusable silicone storage bags as an alternative.
If you were a flower, tree, plant, animal or insect, what kind would you be and why?

Can you add Pine Pollen to coffee?
Yes. Amrit blends 1/4 teaspoon of Pine Pollen directly into hot coffee with a little ghee. Blending helps the powder disperse evenly.
What is an adaptogenic latte?
It is a warm drink — coffee, tea or a milk base — with tonic herbs and a healthy fat stirred or blended in. The fat helps carry the herbs and gives the drink a fuller texture.
