when the season is on the threshold of endings (summer)and new beginnings( autumn) and the weather is strange it’s that time of the year when doshas are transitioning. Pitta is giving way to Vata and with rains the Kapha is also somewhat in picture. Affected by weather and the Sunday mood it’s time for those refreshing one pot meals. Lunch today: one pot chicken rice- a medley of rice, chicken breast, onion, tomatoes, ginger , garlic and some spices like cumin, coriander, fenugreek leaves,black pepper, nutmeg, black cardamom, cloves. A dosha balancing meal for a family of various constitutions. Loving the melody and dance of aromas with the air in my household. It’s time to play with the spices !

Ayurveda, says ‘Health' is a state of equilibrium of normal functions of doshas, dhatus, malas and Agni with joyful body, mind and soul. Thus a consistent state of functional equilibrium is health. The distortion of the equilibrium results into diseases. Erratic lifestyle is believed to be one of the basic causes behind the failure of mechanism of maintaining equilibrium.
Treatment either with or without drugs and application of specific rules of diet, activity and mental status as described, disease wise, brings back the state of equilibrium i.e. health.

They taught you that your *hand*is unhygienic and introduced hand wash and sanitizers .....

They taught you that *banana leaves* are unhygienic, *earthenware* are not handy and introduced *plastic /synthetic vessels*...

They taught you that fruits/vegetables / leaves etc directly from *plant* are unhygienic/contain micro organisms and introduced *packed (in plastic) food* articles...

They taught you that children playing in the ground, wearing traditional clothes cause infections and introduced *electronic games*...

They taught you that cotton, handwoven dress are *'local'* with poor quality and introduced *'branded'* synthetic wears...

They taught you that *home remedies& traditional medical systems* are uncivilised and introduced civilised system of *medicine with lots of chemicals*...

They taught you that diagnosing a disease from patient's *signs and symptoms* are not reliable and introduced *machines / laboratories*...

They taught you that *natural cleaning agents* will not kill bacteria and introduced *powerful chemical cleaning agents*...

....... Now...

When we realised that sanitisers failed to maintain health, we *lost natural healthy hands*...

When we realised plastic and synthetic vessels create very harmful effects, we don't have banana leaves and earthenware...

When we realised packed food articles have dangerous chemicals to preserve it, *we couldn't find naturally collected foods*...

When we realise walls and games are injurious to the mind and body, we *lost playgrounds and friends*...

When we realised that branded synthetics harm our health and nature, we found the *closed spinning Mills*...

When we realised *traditional health care is the safest* and economic way of maintaining health, we are *trapped* in emergency health care systems...

When we realised laboratories and machines are *money making systems*, we lost skilful medical practitioners...

When we realised the natural cleaning agents will protect helpful micro organisms, chemicals eradicated them...

GOING AWAY FROM NATURE WILL NEVER MAKE YOU HEALTHY.... BUT MAKE "THEM" WEALTHY....

Balance brings harmony and rhythm. Rhythm makes us flow effortlessly. It reduces stress and increases productivity. Daily routines make our unpredictable lives a bit more predictable. When we know and do what works best for us we become more confident and attuned with our real self. Everyone has its own personal rhythm . Staying up late, suppressing natural urges, unmindful eating etc disrupts that rhythm. Regularity in sleeping waking eating and eliminating maintains the balance of doshas and health.
Know your doshas find your rhythm.

Sometimes it’s better not to react. There is no need to get upset with people or situation. They are powerless without our reaction. In life, when we cannot control what’s happening then it’s better to challenge ourselves to control the way we respond to what’s happening. That is where our power is 🤜🤛

Have a beautiful day 😊

Tridoshas are the dynamic principles that govern the body mind and consciousness. Ayurvedic body types have their basis in five elements. But as space is inert and earth is solid supportive foundation of all creation, the active mobile and changing elements are air, water and fire - incorporated into the principle of tridosha.
