Heard about Ayurveda, but don`t know what it`s about? Are you confused by other books on the subject? Nave you looked into other forms of alternative healing or lifestyle and been put off by strict regimens of diet, exercise, and even abstinence? Everybody is different, and Atreya, using ayruvedic techniques, teaches you how to recognize your own body `type` and what you can do to maintain healthy balance in your life. Enjoy the foods and activities you always have -- using Ayurveda, you will finally understand how they affect you and what you can do to balance the good with the bad. Atreya loves life, has a sense of humor, loves to teach, and in this book provides an accessible introduction to Ayurveda by demystifying the language and providing humorous illustrations. He teaches how Ayurveda can help you handle your lifestyle -- he even discusses sexuality, something many healers never mention. In Practical Ayurveda, Atreya: * Provides an easy-to-use constitutional test for determining your own ayurvedic humors, along with useful methods for self-diagnosis and balancing the humors. He also includes special diets and cures for dozens of ailments. * Discusses the health benefits of good sexual relationships. He dispels the myth that abstinence is required to attain pure consciousness and explains why repressing sexuality cuts off prana, which in turn affects our relationship to life itself. * Clarifies the spiritual principles behind Ayurveda, and provides a broad and flexible perspective on this ancient healing system. All of which combine to unlock ayurvedic `secrets` to physical, sexual, and spiritual health!
