Ayurveda & Yoga of Relationships: Becoming the Medicine
Most people understand that their relationships can have positive or negative impacts on their mental/emotional health. But research shows us that our relationships can also have profound impacts on our physical health. Just like our food choices, positive relationships can have positive effects on our body-minds. And chronically negative relationships can negatively impact our body-minds.
Staying Balanced during Fall/Vata Season
When vata gets out of balance, these are the areas and aspects of our body-minds that will develop symptoms or even disease. So vata imbalance is linked with disorders that are related to the overactivity of the nervous system, including emotional fear and a rapid heart beat; too much air or dryness, which can show up in the joints, the bowels, the skin, and it can include things like mental spaciness.
