Maintaining Balance In Your Body & Mind

Jan 23, 2020


Episode 116

How do we maintain balance physically and mentally in order to have a stable foundation which will prevent dis-ease in the body and mind? We focus a lot on our food and it’s very important of course as food can be medicine or it can create an aggravation of the doshas and result in dis-ease.

However, we also need to look at our daily habits, our environment and behaviour as all of these influences have a particular doshic characteristic which can affect the doshas of Vata, Pitta & Kapha e.g.

  • What time we go to bed
  • What time we wake up
  • What time we eat
  • What & how we eat
  • What time & how we exercise
  • Our work environment
  • Our home environment
  • Our relationships
  • Our daily activities
