Ayurveda: The Science of Self Healing - A Practical Guide
By Dr. Vassant Lad
This book offers a basic understanding of Ayurveda/holistic healing, the human body, and why we get disease. It was an easy manual to understand for such an esoteric subject.
The text explains:
Excellent health involves many variables and factors like proper nutrition, regular exercise, spending quality time with loved ones and/or engaging in some type of fun recreation activity. However, one of the most important factors in having vibrant health is rest and deep relaxation. Our modern, industrial lives are busier than ever with many of us skipping out on getting enough quality sleep.
Back when I lived in Minnesota, I used to participate in a seasonal detox program at my local yoga studio. The program included early morning yoga classes, acupuncture, and a detoxifying diet filled with nutritious, whole foods, and plenty of time to meditate and reflect. I found this short 1-week detox to be nourishing not just for my body, but also for my soul.
Mainstream food marketing tactics emphasize calories instead of nutrition. Fad fitness programs push exercise in a way that doesn’t always feel wholesome. Unrealistic expectations about exercise programs and results are perpetuated by these marketing techniques. Often, fad workout programs provide fast results that are taxing on the joints and aren’t suitable for longevity. Instead, adopting a holistic approach to diet and exercise can provide the results you want now with the longevity of a nourishing and beneficial fitness habit to sustain the results for the long term.

What It Offers:
We are moving beings. As animals in space and time, this is our nature. It is through literally moving into ourselves that we have evolved our way out from once being bacteria and into becoming the humans that we are today. Our bodies have grown to prove to be miraculously adaptive and capable - as a general species and especially in the modernized western world - despite our culturally confined upbringings.
We are strong and we can do this, let’s be different.
Why is it so hard to drop the bad habits or addictions we know are bad for us? Why do we hold on to the material things instead of infinite feelings and emotions from loved ones?
