We all have mental and emotional "tendencies"....have you ever wondered why? The Science of Ayurveda is always about discovering the "root cause". And, The Gunas are thought to be at the root of our natural mental and emotional tendencies. Understanding how they dance and interract in this dimension is key to having a healthier happier life. Join us while we explore the Vedic Principle of The Gunas.

Part 2 of The Doshas

Now that you have a good understanding and foundation of the master elements (The Mahabhutas) it's time to deepen your understanding of Ayurveda by diving into your Dosha. What is a Dosha? A Dosha is your Mind/Body Constitution.  Your healing begins with understanding your true natural state. Not everyone is designed to be pencil thin or naturally athletic. We all have a unique mix of elements to that make us who we are. Knowing what your mix is can lead you back to a balanced state and trigger amazing healing.

Ayurveda is so much more than what to eat and when. It is an entire medical system consisting of 8 limbs. From Internal Medicine to Psychology, Geriatrics to Pediatrics....Toxicology to Nutrition Ayurveda is truly the Science of Life.

We continue our discussion on the Vedic perspective of creation as well as the Master Elements that are present in everything.

Understanding the Vedic perspective on the creation of our universe begins in the Rig Veda. This ancient view is that our universe began when Lord Vishnu came from another reality/universe to birth Brahma the creator God of our universe. Lord Brahma represents and embodies the primary and master element of our reality which is known in Sanskrit as "Akasha' or space/ether. This element is the "whiteboard" upon which all other elements rest. This is also known in quantum science as the field of infinite potential. The ALL and the VOID existing simultaneously. Brahma was tasked with creating the "ALL" from the "VOID". This creation began with an ecstatic dance which then created the second element known as "Vayu" or air and movement. As this dance continued, friction and heat sparked creating the third element known as "Agni or Tejas" which is fire or radiant energy. As the cosmos burned it began to sweat which created condensation which was the fourth element known as "Jala" or water. As the water pooled it created it's own container which is the most dense of elements known as "Prithvi" or earth. I hope you listen to this episode as there is tons more information.
