It’s important to understand the difference between what we want and what we need and that is what minimalist living is all about.
Think twice and analyze the stuff you throw in the dustbin
Cut down upon stuff that comes in single use plastic – milk, oil, vegetables, fruits, groceries, personal care products, cleaning supplies etc. that come packed in plastics, sanitary napkins, aluminum foil etc. They are bad for us and for the environment
To cut down, buy from the local farmer’s market, carry your own bag, and use steel or recyclable/reusable bottles. Buy stuff in large quantities, if plastic cannot be completely avoidable in urban set up.
Switch to homemade natural shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, detergent etc. Segregate and compost kitchen/wet waste. Dry waste put it in a bottle and create ECOBRICK.
Commercially available diapers and menstrual pads are toxic to self and environment as they have plastic in it. Use cloth diapers and cloth pads instead
Avoid online food delivery services and opt to dine-in a restaurant. Minimize online shopping.
Travel “zero waste” the cool way – carry cloth bags with you, take your own water bottles, carry bamboo cutlery or reusable cutlery kit (a spoon, a fork, a straw, a napkin, bottle), carry snacks, say no to straw, take ice cream in a cone and not cup, your own tiffin box to get leftover packed etc.
Move to refrigerator free life – Make food, idli/dosa batter etc. in small batches. To store, pour water in a clay pot and keep the batter/food vessel in that (but try and make small quantities).
To store greens, keep root in a glass of water or cover with a wet cloth, keep chillies without stalks, curry leaves can be stored air dried, keep onions and potatoes separately, buy tomatoes half ripe and half unripe. Again, buying small quantities helps as we also get to eat fresh and need not worry about storage.
A/C free home – Keeping home well ventilated, to reduce heartiness and warming the house during day u can use dark curtains in the afternoon to block the light during day, wearing light cotton clothes and eating right food and lifestyle practices would help you live without ACs in summer
Negligible/zero electricity bill lifestyle – switch off appliances when not in use, wash clothes in the washing machine only when full load, switch to non RO filtration water (saves both water and electricity).
Last but not the least, important note: do not dump now whatever you have at home and jump into minimalist living. Use whatever you have till the end of its lifecycle and now when you have become aware, next whatever you are buying, be conscious about that. Do not become an impulsive shopper.
The 5 Rs..Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair and Rot important Rs to be reminded for minimalistic living
FAQs from the Session
1. How to replace a plastic bucket?
Answer – “Plastic bucket can be replaced with brass bucket. Those were also used by our elderlies. Not only does it eliminate plastic, it also has good health benefits”.
2. Which is the best BYO (bring your own) disposable cutlery in market?
Answer –“Whatever we use at home, carrying that would be more than enough. Just carry as per your requirements and what is available at your home”
3. How to store milk/butter?
Answer – “Buy milk in lesser quantities. We buy it from a local milkman. Everyday buy it fresh just for one or two times worth of consumption. Butter – keep it in vessel and then keep in clay pot filled with water, in cool and dry place, away from sunlight. For refrigerator less living, we need to plan our consumption of perishable items. Buying in small quantity ensures we need not worry about storage and also consume fresh food”
4. How to avoid diapers?
Answer –“There are many brands and varieties of reusable cloth diapers available in market, kindly explore. Commercially available diapers are hazardous for the kids as well as environment.”
5. I have tried using menstrual pads but I have found them difficult to clean, what to do?
Answer – “Soak them in warm water overnight and wash them in the morning. It would be easy to clean that way. Keep a separate bucket or tub for the same. Use natural products for cleaning. Disinfect using turmeric and salt in water. Sun drying is extremely important. Following these methods, I have been able to use cloth pads for more than two years.”
6.Even though we avoid a lot of plastics we do get accumulated of pick up carry bags. Where I can carry my bags we do otherwise there’s a lot. I do not wish to dump them so I have put all the plastic bags in a box in my house. I couldn’t find a recycling team here what else can I do?
Answer – “Try to recycle the same or give them away to vegetable or fruits or flower vendors as they still need to use those”
7. How are you managing with perishables given this Covid lockdown time? Since we cannot step out frequently right now?
Answer – “I am buying vegetables for 5 to 7 days at a go. Vegetables like carrots and beetroots can stay fine without refrigeration for 3 to 4 days. Vegetables like drumsticks that need moisture to be retained, I keep them on a thin cloth and cover with another thin white cloth and keep the cloth damp. I also use sundried vegetables. Also, sticking to two meals a day and using papads etc in our meal. Meal planning is the keyword”.
8. How to store homemade sprouts?
Answer – They cannot be stored. Must be consumed fresh
9. What are the best suggested ways of water conservation?
Answer –Reusing the water which we wash rice n dals, water the plants with this water. Instead of shower use bucket for bath. Slow the water in the tap by changing the valve setting, close the taps while brushing the teeth, etc.
10. Can ginger garlic paste be stored in glass containers.? I heard it is not good to store in glass.
Answer – You can add a few drops of lemon juice and Little turmeric when grinding ginger garlic paste. Yes, it can be stored in glass containers. It is safe.
11. I travel a lot and I am a vegetarian, so I need to carry ready to eat. There is a lot of plastic…any alternatives?
Answer – Carry a reusable cutlery kit. Like napkin, spoon, steel box, bottle etc.

Ayurveda says that food is the best Medicine – Maha Bhaishajya, if consumed in the right way. Eating is an essential part of life even though we don’t live only to eat. The food that we eat plays a vital role not only to the body but also to the mind and spirit. In order to achieve optimum health, bring harmony within, consuming food suitable to one’s physiology and the season is the key.
The food needs of the body vary according to Agni – the Digestive Fire and various other factors such as external environment and food availability. Hence, it is important to eat the right food according to your constitution to reap the immense benefits.
So, we need to know about the following key factors about the right way of eating.
What to eat?
When to eat?
When not to eat?
How to eat?
How much to eat?
We are what we eat. The food what we eat is our life source and mindful eating is a step in bettering one’s spiritual self.

How money and spirituality is interconnected and learn the art of planning your finances.
It is a common notion that money and spirituality don’t go hand in hand. But the fact is money and spirituality together can bring abundance into our life. Money is not everything, but it plays an important role in our lives towards a more aligned spiritual experience. Money is neutral and the way we think about money brings a greater impact on the kind of energy it brings into our lives. It’s our conscious efforts in handling the money that decides the true worth. Improper planning of your finances can create an imbalance to your inner self and your ambience. We learnt the spiritual significance of money being the catalyst to heal and elevate our lives. In this webinar, we understood the art of planning and prioritizing your finances, needs, investments, saving, insurance and many more without compromising your cosmic ethics.

Thank you Anna, for a very insightful session. So many times it so happens that you need something so badly and when you actually get it you no more need it…I guess it happens because of unnecessary clutter which we carry in our minds…This session gave the required clarity and consciousness. Very thankful for this, will try to incorporate today’s teachings.-Shweta
Thank you for yet another wonderful session Anna. Every session of yours, I am have a unique experience, I feel as if you are addressing/answering to that one problem I am facing in life, for which I hardly had a solution. Thank you for today’s gyaan, will try to practice the Formula you have shared.
Kanmani
My insight with money was changed. Never expect that there are so many things we have to plan. -Chitra
Was a great session and yet another learning this time. Have not given much importance to money and have treated as a commodity so long. Now have a new perception of money as something which is also god gifted and has so much purpose for spiritual awakening. Have a new found respect for money. Thanks Anna and team for all your patience and guidance
