Ayurveda
and Yoga are two closely related sister sciences rooted in the Vedic
tradition of India. From an Eastern perspective, Ayurveda is the science
of healing the body and mind while Yoga is the science of Self-realization.
The
definition of health (or svastha) in Ayurveda is not solely the absence
of disease. Ayurveda encompasses all aspects of a person's life: body,
mind, and spirit. Unfortunately, the Western perception of ayurveda
is often very narrow and misunderstood, much like the perception that
Yoga is merely physical exercise. Both Ayurveda and Yoga envision
the human being as a multi-layered expression of consciousness and
seek to heal or restore balance at levels much deeper than just the
physical.
In
this series, we will examine how Ayurveda and Yoga view health, and
explore therapies of both systems which target the root of all disease
- the Mind and Consciousness. We will explore ways to harmonize our
daily lives with the rhythm of the Universe, and explore ways to heal
our bodies and minds to prepare ourselves for deeper spiritual practices.
