Enjoying a Balanced Spring
“In just-spring when the world is mud- luscious and … puddle-wonderful” e. e. cummings In the ayurvedic system of health every season has a dosha, or set of qualities, associated with it. Winter, governed by Vata dosha, has been cold, dry and dark. When the sun lingers longer, the ground thaws and mud heralds the beginning of Kapha dosha season. Kapha season starts out wet and cold in March and ends up wet and warm, in May and June. In early Kapha season the world is slowly coming out of hibernation. The first spring flowers poke their heads above the mud and the birds’ ecstatic singing signals that mating season has begun. Trees flower and release pollen before their leaves unfurl. As the vegetation wakes up, people who are susceptible to allergies can feel the effects of Kapha in their respiratory system.
Six Ways to Keep Your Spirits Up When the Economy is Down
Yet every crisis brings with it an opportunity to change our fortunes. Here are six healthy ways to stay balanced and stress-free even when you’re under economic pressure.
My Vedic Kitchen
The financial climate of the world at present is enough to cause anxiety among all of us. Recognizing these negative emotions as symptoms of an aggravated Vata dosha helps make sense of them. Vata is the air element in our bodies—very delicate and hard to balance at the best of times. We can help ourselves by trying to pacify Vata. Here is a nourishing recipe that literally warms you from the inside! Secrets to a Stress-Free Body
Have you ever noticed that we each have our own unique emotional pattern in response to stressful events? According to Maharishi Ayurveda, we react to stress according to which dosha, or aspect of our inner intelligence, is getting thrown out of balance. This depends both on our constitution and the type of stress involved. We can figure out the dosha associated with our response by looking at the kinds of stressors that disturb us the most, and the kind of symptoms we typically get when under stress. Once we know which dosha is governing our stress response, the practical wisdom of Maharishi Ayurveda provides simple—yet powerful—measures to re-balance ourselves. Training Health Professionals for the Future
Everyone knows that healthcare is in crisis. With 100 million Americans—or 40 percent of the adult population—suffering from chronic conditions, and with over 200,000 deaths associated with the use of pharmaceuticals annually, Americans of all ages and persuasions are seeking alternative care.
Message from the President
A Chance to Create True Wealth It always feels good to come home after an extended journey. After returning from an overseas trip last month, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the whole family shed their travel stress and settled into a normal ayurvedic routine. We took Digest Tone to restore normal digestion and elimination, Maharishi Amrit Kalash to boost our immune systems, and we used Vata Aroma Oil at night to help lull two very excited toddlers (and two equally excited adults) to sleep. None of us got sick—and we were left feeling renewed from our trip instead of stressed.
