I mentioned in my previous posts that I'm studying Ayurveda which is an evolution of my interests (food, pleasure, yoga, herbs, astrology, breathwork, spirituality, humanity, nature) blending harmoniously together. It is an incredible journey of learning and discovering and most importantly I am putting what I am learning into practical use in my own life!
What is Ayurveda? It is ancient system of healing from India that addresses the whole person's health -- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. The word "Ayur-veda" translates to the "knowledge of life". It is in the knowledge of life that we get to know our Self... the eventual aim of this science is that we live our intended life purpose so we will share our gift to humanity.
I am excited by my learning and discoveries. We're learning about Nutrition and I wanted to share 2 excellent books I read and reference that you might enjoy on your path to well-being:
Conscious Eating
Healing With Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (3rd Edition)
Ayurvedic eating lifestyle tips:
Eat only to 75% full
Eat your largest meal (midday) between 12-2p when your digestive fire is greatest
Eat organically grown produce, if possible, for more prana
Don't eat when you are angry or sad
Eat foods cooked by a happy cook for higher energetic value
