Mental grief, is one of the major causes of bodily illness. For this reason, a good physician always allays the mental sufferings of a patient by giving good instructions and offering desirable objects before administering medicine.
If one puts a hot iron rod in a pot of water, the water also becomes hot. Similarly, the burning of mental grief causes innumerable bodily miseries. On the other hand, just as water easily puts out fire, mental distress can be quickly dispelled by enlightenment in real knowledge.

"All existing drugs are treacherous and harmful. The heaven into which they usher their victims soon turns into a hell of sickness and moral degradation. They 'kill', first the soul, then, in a few years, the body. What is the remedy? 'Prohibition,' answer all contemporary governments in chorus. But the results of prohibition are not encouraging. Men and women feel such an urgent need to take occasional holidays from 'reality', that they will do almost anything to procure the means of escape...
The way to prevent people from drinking to much alcohol, or becoming addicts to morphine or co***ne, (to name a few), is to give them an efficient but wholesome substitute for these delicious and (in the present imperfect world) necessary poisons. The man who invents such a substance will be counted among the greatest benefactors of suffering humanity."

Aldous Huxley 1931, published in the Chicago Herald Examiner, after he discovered an English translation of Louis Lewin's masterwork, 'Phantastica' dusty and neglected on one of the upper shelves of his bookshop.

Re the mystery substance Mr Huxley spoke of...
Kindly engage, heart and soul in the contemplative recitation of the Maha-mantra:

According to Āyurveda, there is a strong connection between the mind and colon.
Without proper elimination of the bowels, the mind becomes clogged with negative thoughts and emotions (mental āma). As a result mental function is impaired and there is a lack of clarity.
That is why it is recommended to have a regular bowel movement in the morning before commencing meditation, so that the mind is clear and still.
In addition, the colon is the seat of vāta dosha. An unhealthy or clogged colon fosters fluctuations of the dosha, which unsettles the mind and leads to instability in life. Steadiness of mind, persistence, focus and the ability to sustain effort in a chosen direction are all weakened by an excess of vāta dosha.
Massage of Indrabasta marmāni, located high on the forearm, helps to regulate the colon, balances vāta and thus stabilizes the mind and pacifies vāta-type emotions such as restlessness, fear, anxiety, nervousness and other qualities that disturb a persons equilibrium.

Massage is like the tango in many ways, the symbiotic movement, the sense of connection we need to feel lifted beyond the everyday, beyond the ordinary. The breathing, the energy, the rhythm, the intention, the emotional connection…You can't do it on your own. It takes two to tango!

In Ayurvedic massage our focus is on a healthy connection between client and practitioner, when we establish this connection, wonderful things can be achieved.

Here's a lovely interview with George Harrison before he died. He has some interesting points if you have the time to watch, i think you'd like it.
