Ayur Wisdom

I am experiencing some Yin-Yang imbalance. That is because I have been working without rest after 09 Mar 1999, after I launched my first dotcom.

Lack of rest. So I went through the hoary Ayurvedic texts and came up with the answer. The cause is Dhatukshaya or loss of the tissue-elements.

The seven causative factors for Dhatukshaya are Sramat - from heavy hard work, Dhyanat - from terrestrial meditation, Kopat - from Anger, Shokath - from grief, from Dukhath - from mental tension , from Abhingatat - from traumatic experiences and from Kshayath - from earlier loss of tissue elements.

The remedial measures are dietary

Take in often

hen's eggs, swan's eggs, meat and soup of chicken, deer, rabbit, mutton, grapes, dates, mango, figs, pomegranate, powdered sesame seeds. Basmati rice, wheat, mung dal, milk, butter, ghee

Massage Oils

Mahanarayana Taila

Take in Ashwagandharishta or Withania in Syrup form, which I am doing

All healing is Self Healing !

What is Self healing ? It is the process of rebuilding, repairing and balancing our psycho-physical body !

Yin_Yang imbalance is stress arousal. The body will not self-heal in stressed circumstances. Stress arousal, therefore, is the greatest block to self-healing as it increase the adrenalin & cortisol levels, which suppress our immune system.

Ultradian Healing Response - This is the second yin-yang imbalance. Our psycho-physical complex goes through this "slowing" or "daydreaming" called U H R. With alcholism & workaholism, we are neglecting our healing cycle. Meditation, poetic mood, daydreaming, divine thoughts, prayers and quietitude ( Dr Diet, Dr Quiet & Dr Merryman ) allow us to take advantage of this healing cycle.

Psycho-physical dialogue - We have a continual dialogue with our body by self-talk, dreams, daydreaming, imagery, poetic verses, metaphors and Mythology. In Meditation, sleep and bio-feedback, we can enhance our body-mind communication.

Our immune power can be increased by Loving neighbours ( by enhancing our horizontal intimacy with others ) & in Loving ourself ( by enhancing our vertical intimacy with ourselves

Good luck with Self Healing !
