Food

Food is considered as “Maha bhaishajya” (superior medicine) in Ayurveda and believes healthy nutrition nourishes the Body, Mind, and Soul. The food we consume is made up of Panchamahabhuta (Five elements of the earth) so does a living thing. The ingested food is segregated into the nutrient’s essence for the importance of life energy supplements, and eliminating toxins. The food that we eat can be classified into three kinds – Satvik, Rajasik, and Tamasic. Each type influences our physical and mental well-being.

A Sattvic diet makes the mind live in the present and implies light, sound food. It doesn’t go to excessive taste limits – either excessively sweet, spicy, or zesty. Sattvic food purifies the body and calms the mind which is rich in prana (life power) and invigorates the body and mind.

As far as Rajasik is concerned, it makes the mind live in the future and it comprises Non-Vegetarian diet rich in spice. When taken in excess, such foods can cause hyperactivity, restlessness, anger, irritability, and sleeplessness.

Tamasic diet makes the mind to live in the past and dulls the mind, creating confusion and disorientation. Stale or reheated food, too oily or heavy items on the stomach, and artificial foods come under this category.

Water is the most important aspect of human life next to air. Ayurveda finds Water to be the elixir of life(Mahausadi) It has explained in detail the concepts of water use for the conservation of hygiene, disease prevention, and disease alleviation. Organs in the body require water to hydrate the cells and tissues that make up the organs. Consumed Water is used in various body functions such as breathing, sweating, digestion of minerals and nutrients. The amount of Water consumed sufficiently helps to flush out the toxins through the excretion process. The rehydration of the body is very important for the proper functioning of the whole body.

Breath

Breath is the essence of our energy creation, and it allows us to experience our true self. Prana (universal energy) is the essential aspect of every life of a living being. To lead a healthy life one must regulate his/her breath pattern and that can be achieved by Pranayama. Pranayama is a common technique performed in ancient Indian civilizations. Its goal is to create balance between body, mind, and spiritual well being thereby aids sequential movement from massive to subtle, from Annamaya kosha to Pranamaya kosha.Through regular practice of pranayama, it clears the energy pathways (Nadi) in the body and also strengthens the body’s circulatory function, stimulates the respiratory system, and aids in pathological disorders such as asthma and rhinitis.

Sareera Suddhi means “cleansing of the body.” To lead a quality life, one must do purification both internally and externally as a part of the regime. A year consists of six seasons: winter, spring, summer, monsoon, autumn. A particular Doshas will be aggravated according to seasonal changes.The aggravated doshas can be eliminated through panchakarma therapy (detoxification process) in order to prevent the progression of disease and finally, the individual can undergo rejuvenation therapies, restoring the harmony of life.Panchakarma therapies include vamana (emesis), virechana (purgation), nasya (administration of medicine through nasal route), rakta mokshana (bloodletting). This therapy depends on the person’s health status and the predominance of doshas.

Abyasa

Abyasa refers to Self-Discipline for attaining a balanced state of mind and sustaining a state of equilibrium within oneself. To do this, one must have consistent discipline and dedication to see progress through daily practice. The great Acharaya Patanjali proposes three essentials for Abhyasa: to practice for a longer time, practice without interruption, and remain committed to practice. The concept involves nurturing every part moving towards the positive-lifestyle; behavior, speech, and even thoughts are conditioned towards positivity. This teaching can be accompanied by spiritual activities such as yoga and meditation. To remain entirely centered at the moment, the mind consumed by what is, rather than what will or what might be, is a talent that requires preparation and commitment to learning. Abhyasa is not limited to yogic disciplines such as asana, pranayama, and dhyana but includes day-to-day activities. The more concentrated the yogi is in every step, the faster the mindfulness practice will be.

Sat sang (Meeting Truth)

Traditionally, Satsang referred only to a meeting in the presence of genuinely enlightened people, or Gurus. In modern times, satsang has developed to mean any meeting in which spiritual thought, conversation, meditation, or teaching occur.

It can be defined as “associating with good people” or literally “being in the company of truth,” which refers to the act of bringing together like-minded and uplifting people. It helps to eliminate depressive emotions, material ties, and emotional barriers.

Yoga and Ayurveda are two closely related philosophical and sacred disciplines rooted in the Vedic heritage in India.The Ashtanga Yoga (eightfold Yoga Practice) mentioned in the Patanjali Yoga Sutra is a glimpse of Ayurveda in the form of Sadvrutta, Swasthavrutta, Achara Rasayana, Dinacharya, Dharaneeya Vega and so on.

1.Yamas

The yamas are activities that are known to be external observances.Yamas define the requisite observances, such as Ahimsa (Nonviolence), Satya (Truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (abstinence from sexual desire), Aparigraha (no greediness).They are a way to adapt the behavioral codes of yoga to the way the yogi responds to the environment. They are known to be a helpful and highly important guide to helping yogis live an ethical life. Practicing yamas is said to give a chance to live in a manner that is better and more calm. They will develop relationships with others, build character, and allow the yogi to make progress on their spiritual journey. It is often claimed to minimize or even eliminate the accumulation of bad karma that can be accumulated as one lives without knowledge or integrity.
