The principles of Ayurveda state that nothing exists in isolation, so that everything you interact with- your diet, family, work and relationships – all have an affect on your health and well being. One guiding principle of Ayurveda is that the mind and body are connected and that the mind has a profound influence over our health and well-being. Conventional Western medicine is often reactive – focused on eliminating symptoms and rarely considering a mind-body connection. Ayurveda looks at the whole body… the whole person…to identify the emotional and physical sources of dis-ease and then heal the source – not simply the symptoms. Ayurveda holds that health is more than the absence of disease; it is a dynamic state of balance and integration of body, mind and spirit. Kay, a Chopra Center certified Vedic Master, teaches Perfect Health, a workshop developed by Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon, which is founded in the unique fusion of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the cutting-edge knowledge of modern medicine to create an integrated path toward health and wellbeing. According to Ayurveda, each of us inherits a unique mix of three mind/body principles which creates our specific mental and physical characteristics. When we find ourselves emotionally or physically out of balance, or experiencing a health challenge, most likely we have strayed from our true nurturing state of mind/body nourishment. In Perfect Health individuals are taught the cornerstones of Ayurveda and design a daily routine to help them bring balance, healing, and wellbeing to their lives. To learn more about your unique mind/body constitution take the Dosha Test. "If you want to understand why a person’s body is the way it is today, look at the quality of their experiences over the past 10 years. If you want to know what a person’s body will look like 10 years from now, look the quality of the experiences they are having today." - Dr. Deepak Chopra |
