How The Psychology And Power Of Ayurveda Can Help You – Part 1
Ayurveda teaches you to empower yourself so you can make the best healthiest choices for yourself.
Ayurveda integrates a holistic approach to health and healing so by enhancing your health and wellness, you can enhance the health and wellness of others and the planet.
The power of Ayurveda through direct perception
Direct perception is important in Ayurveda because it allows us to observe things through your direct experience.
Through your own direct experience you are able to perceive truth, through the power of discrimination.
Discriminating means contemplating what is right for you without being influenced by others or your clouded mind.
Through this discrimination you can deduce your own conclusions regarding your health and healing.
Don’t rely on just inference (the power of reason through speculation) and instruction (perceptions from others) which are limited and can be misinterpreted.
Getting advice from someone trained in alternative medical or healing practices, such as an Ayurvedic practitioner is great in the beginning, and periodically through your journey to optimal health.
As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I personally must show and allow my clients to awaken their own direct perception for their own clarity, certainty and reasoning.
Therefore, you should learn to perceive yourself through your own direct perception and identify any imbalances or disharmony; then make the appropriate changes using the science and psychology of Ayurveda to come back into balance.
Here are some Ayurvedic steps you can take to help yourself Continue reading
The Ayurvedic Diet – 5 Tips On How To Prepare Your Meals
A big part of the Ayurvedic diet is learning how to properly prepare and cook your meals.
This act should be performed with awareness and it is important to cook and prepare the food you are going to eat with the mindset of being healthy.
Preparing your meals without really being conscious doesn’t allow you to fully be present and appreciate the process using the right methods as outlined in the Ayurvedic diet.
Here are a few valuable tips on how to cook your meals for better health and wellness.
1. Cook with feel good emotions and a positive mental attitude. In Ayurveda your state of mind and attitude becomes part of the food you are handling and preparing.
If you are angry or anxious while cooking then that’s the energy you’re putting into the food and, feeding yourself and others.
Be in a joyful state when you cook and show love and kindness toward the food you are going to create, eat and share.
2. Maintain a connection with your food. Be gentle and handle your food as if you were handling a little baby.
When possible use simple non-electric hand tools to prepare your food. For example, grind your spice with a brick & mortar.
Allow your hands to come in contact with the food you are preparing and feel its energy. Having a loving relationship with your food and this in turn will nurture your mind and body. Continue reading
Ayurvedic Diet
Well it’s been a while since I have posted an article here on Planet Well. With so many things to do in such little time, I have been figuring some things out as I prioritize may passions and what is important to me, my family, others (which include you) and the planet.
It has been a great summer and I discovered that if there is one thing I need to share with all of you, it is… “True Wellness” which in my experience is the science of Ayurveda. Over the last few months I have been continuing my studies in yoga philosophy, vedantic philosphy (the study of the vedas), and ayurveda ( A complete holistic wellness system)
Ayurveda, which has been my main focus over the last few months is the science of longevity – an ancient healing practice and system that’s over 5000 years old and stems back to ancient India. It could be compared to Traditional Chinese Medicine because it is in fact a complete medical system which prescribes certain herbs, exercises and diets for each unique individual. However, I feel it is much more valuable and complete.
Ayurveda incorporates many different principles, remedies and healing techniques that I could write hundreds of pages about, but I won’t because I will be writing more about it on this blog. In fact, I will be changing my focus of this blog to one primarily based on ayurveda wellness including the ayurvedic diet and ayurvedic recipes for healthier living.
There will be many topics that explain how and why to incorporate the ayurvedic diet into your life.
You may be asking why such a drastic change from sustainability to ayurvedic living. Well, it’s not much of a change because sustainability and the wellness of the planet is all part of Ayurveda. By adopting ayurveda into you life, you enhance your health and wellness which enhances the health and wellness of the planet.
Ayurveda is truly a gift from God and an extraordinary science or system that gives you vigor, vitality, strength and healing energy. It promotes harmony and balance both internally and externally. I will be explaining and teaching you more soon… Continue reading
