AYURVEDA: THE LIFE BALANCE

In this workshop you will cover the holistic approach of Ayurveda that creates harmony between the body, mind, and spirit.
We will introduce the five elements and six tastes inherent in all food. Get an appreciation for the subtle energies that affect digestion, like seasons, time of day, environment and more.
________________________________________
Ayurveda is based on the premise that disease is the natural result of living out of harmony with our environment. Natural is an important word because Ayurveda understands that symptoms of the disease are the body’s normal way of communicating disharmony. With this understanding of the disease, Ayurveda’s approach to healing becomes obvious: to re-establish harmony between self and environment. Once re-established, the need for the body to communicate disharmony diminishes, symptoms dissipate, and healing is said to have occurred.

Ayurveda understands each person and the disease the person is manifesting as a unique entity. It could be said that no two people are alike, and no two diseases are alike. Therefore, Ayurveda does not approach the cure of the disease as much as it approaches the cure of a person. This approach vastly differs from allopathic medicine. Where allopathic medicine looks for a drug that will cure a statistically significant number of people for a specific condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Ayurvedic medicine looks for a treatment that will cure a person of their unique presentation of the disease. Since no disease affects two people, in the same way, no two cures are the same.
