What is Ayurveda?
Here are some simple principals:
balance is a concept of always growing, recalibrating and rebalancing the different elemental forces within the body.
From india, Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge. Ayurveda is often described as the wisdom of life and is a vast body of knowledge addressing all aspects of human health and healing. Over 5000 years old, many consider Ayurveda to be an origin of healing systems. Ayurveda is first mentioned in the ancient texts known as the Vedas. The Vedas are recognized by scholars throughout world as one of the oldest spiritual texts in existence. by treating the whole person, not just the symptom, balance is restored, while recognizing that disease exists when there is an imbalance in a person’s life. It’s about preventing illness.
In Hawaii, there exists an awareness of ancient hawaiian rejuvenation practices found in massage and breathing called Lomi Lomi and the Ha. Over a millenia, these two practices from hawaii and india are woven of the same thread, and complement each other. By understanding the elemental compositions of the body and applying simple, fresh hawaiian herbs, breathing practices, and cleansing, balance is restored.
Life force= Mana= Prana= chi
The 3 Doshas- or life forces within the body are made up of the 5 elements found in nature. from ether and air comes vata; from fire and water comes pitta; and from water and earth comes kapha. as mobile and active elements within the body, they are in a state of changing balance at all times and different parts of the body have different doshic qualities. when out of balance these doshas are the cause of disease and decay.
These doshas also relate to a persons primary body constitution.
Vata is cold, light, mobile, subtle, hard, rough, changeable and clear.
Pitta is hot, light, fluid, subtle, sharp, malodorous, soft and clear
Kapha
when we start to understand the body in terms of our own personal rebalancing, we can start to use the insight of the body to navigate health by finding the balance between the aspects of the doshas. like tuning an instument
