AYURVEDA IS A nature based approach to healthcare that is over 5000 years old, which comes from ancient India. This holistic system of health understood all that time ago that we need to support the functioning of our cells through our food and lifestyle choices. This includes understanding how to live in balance with your constitution and biological rhythms, so that the incredible system of your mind and body can function well. Dr Casey Means has recently written a book that brings together the latest in Western research that supports this view.

In other words, Western science is starting to understand what the Rishi’s of ancient India were able to perceive so long ago. Hard to believe I know, because we tend to think that we are advanced, which in terms of a mechanistic technology we are, but in terms of understanding nature of which we are part, we are only just beginning.

Ayurveda is underpinned by a complex science, but you can think of it as a way to bring balance back to your body and mind. It’s about eating in a way that works for your specific constitution, living in balance with your biological rhythms, improving digestion, and learning how to take care of your mental well-being; which will differ for different people.

The things you need to do may differ from someone else, because we all come with different physical and mental needs, and lifestyles, plus, our balance is something that is constantly in a state of flow. The key thing is to understand how to recognise imbalance within your constitution, and what to do about it. I can help you with this.

Sometimes an Ayurvedic plan can feel like a lot to do, but we can take it slowly with small, manageable steps. Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about long-term healing to create the conditions from which health and happiness naturally flow.

Ayurveda has a number of therapies that can support your health, one Ayurvedic therapy that I work with is Yoga Nidra, a deep relaxation technique which resets your nervous system, addresses stress, and supports  real, lasting change. Yoga Nidra can also help with embedding new behaviours and subconscious patterns to support your visions. Recently the term Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) was coined to refer to Yoga Nidra and the light trance state of hypnotherapy. Yoga Nidra allows the body to rest as if asleep while the mind is awake and aware.
