As a chemist and engineer, I am head over heels for Ayurveda because it’s an amazing science. I use this mind body operating system to build my strength as well as create balance in my life. I live and share the principals the best I can to evolve my health, be my best self and help others do the same.
Moving forward I and others will be sharing about many aspects of this science that we live. I am so excited just gushing to connect with you and hear your thoughts. Comments and questions are welcome!
A Living Breathing Operating System
Ayurveda means wisdom of life. It is an ancient health care system that is still employed today. The power of Ayurveda can be brought to bear to evolve your wellness, clear space for your dharma your purpose, or rebuild health. Herbs, spice, foods and daily routines are fundamental tools to clarify awareness, build health and support recovery.
When I talk about Ayurveda, people usually say Ayur what? Then they start to ask questions. Two common questions I get on Ayurveda are simple to answer.
Is Ayurveda a Religion?
No, it is a living health science that suggests you bring connection to spirit into your life. You can be Catholic, or Buddhist or anything you want, engage with and benefit from this science.
How does Ayurveda work with Western Medicine?
Ayurveda plays well with others including western medicine. What I mean by that is that Ayurvedic principles can be used to support Western medicine and other medical systems. It fills in some of the gaps on the road to your most complete recovery.
Ayurveda teaches responsibility, acceptance, love and care of self. I don’t know any other system that approaches health in such a comprehensive way. Ayurveda’s definition of health is lovely and broad and comes from an ancient Sanskrit text. Here is my understanding of the classic translation.
A Big Definition
Health is a state of being that covers mind body and spirit. The dosha the forces that act to shape our lives are in the beautiful balance that reflects your unique nature. Physical and mental diigestion is strong and steady. Tissues are healthy, Senses and mind clear and content. Your soul and spirit shine through your life and promote growth.
This definition sets a really high expectation that has the potential to be fabulous and freeing. This is so different than the western lack of injury or disease. I don’t know many people in modern society who even understand this as a possibility, but it is a worthy powerful shift. Do you want to embrace to a paradigm of wellness? Ayurveda might just be for you.
What If Your Health isn’t Perfect?
Align with this operating system to rebuild health. If you want deep wisdom to tap and respond to life with, wisdom that has your long term best interest at heart then Ayurveda is the way to go. Ayurveda makes recommendations that are in direct contrast to the way our modern world works and can be tough to implement without support. Learn and Live this operating system to align with rhythms that are stronger, deeper than the latest fashion so you can shine a light on your life to find choices that work for you as well as your body. Evolve your health in what you do every day.
Appreciation
I feel a sense of wonder and gratitude that I found teachers to guide my deep dive into Ayurveda. They help me to live the principals in a simple clear way, short cut a lot of pain and as a result evolve my health using this ancient science. Now I am paying it forward to help others regain their health.
