Pass The Popcorn?

Navigating the world of Ayurveda can feel overwhelming, especially with the myriad routines and lifestyle changes. Let’s hold ourselves accountable for positive transformation together.

Do We Live to Work, or Work to Live?

Embarking on a journey back to Ayurvedic living, I reflect on a recent cycle of unwellness that prompted a pause and reevaluation.

What has been going on???

Amidst the serene setting of Holly’s Harmony Yoga, a dynamic transformation unfolds as I near the completion of my Ayurvedic Diploma and dive into the depths of yoga philosophy.

The New Moon

As the sun’s light hides behind the moon, it’s a moment for intention setting, a time to ponder and plan your aspirations for the upcoming moon cycle, embracing the urge to retreat inward, slow down, and engage in reflective practices like restorative or yin yoga.

AYURVEDA’S POPULARITY

AYURVEDA’S POPULARITY I have always fed my dogs well and treated them with herbal remedies.  I read Janey Lee Graces books on how to bring my children up naturally.  Looking at alternative medicines and beauty treatments.  Now my life has led me here and I feel I have found what I have been searching for, the thing which resonates with me.  Ayurveda.  But…. It doesn’t seem to fit into today’s society.  But that is all changing. Today people are turning to Acupuncture, Yoga, Ayurveda and Massage where usually they would go to the doctors for a tablet to mask the symptoms rather than treating the root of the problem. I know it, I have been there! But I have been turning to these alternative methods and found they have worked more long term.  After my motorbike accident in 2005 I was offered Acupuncture on the NHS and it really helped me.  This is something that would never have been heard of just 10 years earlier. My wonderful girl Chloe, who I lost in the summer, was being treated with Mistletoe extract for her cancer and it shrunk her tumour massively and gave her a longer life.  A treatment they use in over 50% of human cancer patients in Germany, but we dismiss here. Germany relies on complimentary medicine, and I hope that there will be a big shift here too.  In the past 3 years there has been a big increase in the usage of Ayurveda in the West with positive response, and long may it continue.

AYURVEDA’S HISTORY

AYURVEDA’S HISTORY Since the 1950’s there have been government reports on how effective it is as a medical system.  The WHO (World Health Organisation) conducted a review of Ayurveda at the turn or the millennium and concluded that it is a “safe, clinically needed form of health care that serves a large proportion of the World’s population.” Since then it has gone from strength to strength in the West.  Since Covid times as well, Ayurvedic treatments have been noticed to help support patients with Covid as well as long Covid. Thank you very much Sam, @mindbodymedical for introducing me to the world of Ayurveda and supporting me with this clinical diploma in Ayurveda.   Previous PostNext Post
