There is a whole Universe inside of us.
Ayurveda, the Science of Life...
Yoga taught me that our body is the representation of the Universe, and that the little world we are living in is in fact shared with all living beings. Every single drop of oxygen we take in was shared before by millions of others, going through a whole recycling process during what we call time.
Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, is the traditional medicine of India, a holistic system based on the understanding of the universal elements of this living plan such as water, fire, earth, air and ether. These elements are constituents of both us, as human beings, and the Universe. Human beings are a small copy of the Universe with the same forces at work inside.
Sun, Moon and Wind are the three major forces in Nature, that manifest inside of our bodies too. Sun represent the force of fire, Moon is sometimes cold, being the combination of water and earth, and Wind is our propulsion system, being a combination of air and ether.
We are all born with the Sun, Moon and Wind properties inside of us in a certain proportion, and that is our nature. Ayurveda is teaching us how to keep them in their natural balance.
Life can manifests sometimes as a hot summer, giving you a Sun (Pitta) unbalance. Or it can be like a hurricane, shaking your whole Universe, and this time is a Wind issue (Vata). When is too cold, and you feel like just hiding, not reacting, not moving, here is the Moon unbalance (Kapha). We are all a representation of the Nature and this is where Yoga and Ayurveda life style come in hand-in-hand. To be creative, to be successful, to be happy, we need to be balanced. So join me on the mat for a balanced natural yoga practice. Be balanced! Be happy! |
