Going Towards the Nature Is Going Towards the Health
()
About this ebook
there are many aspects that enter my mind. I truly think of
an Ajarn and two wonderful Doctors that live this life so completely that
even their perception in this book will be a revelation for some. It was
for me. I give Gratitude to these wonderful individuals. For me the Yogic
way of life is about the flow. It is allowing a moment by movement into
your days. When you read this book, remember that your first read will be
emotional and the second analytical. It will take you through the structure
of changing your days by focusing on the mind body connection with the
Spirit directing your manifestations in a positive way that is for your greatest
good and higher purpose. It has been a journey of self, and continues to be.
Once you read this book and begin to practice the traditional and cultural,
yes I said cultural, methods of adaptation of self, you will begin to discover
who the true you can become.
The Doctors Yardi and I have developed this book to teach Ayurveda
for the world. We will cover chanting, Asanas, Ayurveda Body Typing,
nutrition, concepts of Yoga, philosophy of Ayurveda, medical effects on
the body, Pranayama, meditation, and more. We will then tie it all together
with the Spiritual influence that will be felt in the frequency of the body as
it raises your awareness.
Evolution has, to date, meant extinction to most species, but Ayurveda
has always survived. It is a way of life, a science, called YOG!

Introduction
to Ayurveda
Going Towards the Nature is Going Towards the Health
image002.jpgIn the world today, the term Ayurveda is becoming very popular. Everyone, who is interested in a healthy life, now wants to know and learn about Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a science of life and people from all over the world are showing great interest in this science. The popularity of Ayurveda has increased in popularity in the last two decades with practitioners and healers now interested in learning the Ayurvedic view of understanding health and disease.
Ayurveda is an ancient traditional science from India dealing with physical and psychological health along with the spiritual view for longevity. The advice and treatments in this science of life are a safe and effective way to overcome disease and prevent illnesses based on its basic views. Ayurveda has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Medicinal plants and their utility are widely described in this natural science. This is the holistic alternative science from India. Ayurveda is believed to be the oldest healing system.
Meaning of the word ‘AYURVEDA’; the word Áyurveda is a Sanskrit word. It is composed of two words; 1) Ayur and 2) Veda ‘Ayur’ means Life. ‘Veda’, in the short version, means knowledge, but, the full ancient Indian literature meaning is to have an abundance of philosophical base knowledge in addition to that of spirituality.
There are four types of ancient Vedic Literature from India: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Atherv Veda and Sam Veda.
Ayurveda is a branch of the third literature, Atherv Veda.
Nature and Ayurveda
Ayurveda is based on the rules and regulations of Nature itself. All principles described in Ayurvedic books are the principles of Nature. Ayurveda is a self-care system. It is believed that Ayurveda was originated in India more than five thousand years ago. Millions of people across the world are using its thoroughly tested principles and therapies to improve their physical and psychological health.
In today’s jet age, technological advances have radically altered our lifestyles. Pollution, global warming, vehicles and chemicals are affecting our environment and our health. We are going away from the nature. Going towards the nature is going towards the health, and Ayurveda is the unique science which guides us, in the proper way, towards nature and natural treatments.
The principles of Ayurveda are subscribed for natural healthy living. People everywhere are realizing the importance and benefits of a healthy life style and healthy diet. Ayurveda deals with the responsibility for one’s own well being.
Ayurveda and Spirituality
image003.jpgAyurveda is a science of life. How to live in harmony with nature is one part of Ayurveda, while medicine is another part and both promote healthy living. Life, according to Ayurveda, is a combination of senses: mind, body and soul. Ayurveda is not only limited to the body and medical field, but also has a broad base of knowledge about spiritual, mental, and social health.
Everyone wants to be happy and to live and have a peaceful life, but, most individuals are only searching for happiness and health in the material world which is based strongly on technology. With the advancements of these technologies, many problems such as anxiety, mental tension and high stress are increased in the individual lives. This is because we have little awareness of the spiritual and natural nourishment of our body and mind. Nourishment to only the body is not sufficient. To nourish the mind, soul, and senses are also of importance. The materialist view will not be sufficient for happiness and peace plus, there is the importance of the outer and inner knowledge of the mind, intelligence, emotions, soul, and spirituality. Ayurveda is the ancient medical system where the knowledge of body, mind, and spirit is found simultaneously.
