2/6/2010 - Treatment Packages for Body, Mind and Soul
By: Dev Saras
Ayurveda is not just a practice of medicine; it also has advice to
holistic, healthy lifestyle. All different aspects of body, mind and
soul are covered in detail by Ayurveda.
According to Jeevaka, the
chief physician of Buddha, not only herbs, but also the sounds and
sunlight too can act as medicines. It is true that pleasant sights can
immediately change your mood. You can see the effect of positive
thoughts and experiences on the action of your mind.
An active
spiritual life keeps you controlled and guided in all aspects of your
life. Having a controlled lifestyle is healthful to your body and your
mind.
In ancient practice of Ayurveda, the aspects of physical,
mental and spiritual lives are inseparably woven together. That is, no
single entity is taken separately. All are interconnected. A weakness
in any one area – say mind – affects the other two areas – physical and
spiritual aspects.
There are quite a few treatment packages that
address all these three areas of life – physical, mental and spiritual
lives. Spirituality doesn't mean you have to change your religion. It
is about knowing the source of all your powers and strength.
Such
packages can vary from two days to three weeks. You get chance to live
in a hermitage like environment, giving yourself a chance to reflecting
upon yourself, your life and your works.
You will receive lessons
for holistic eating – eating as much as your body needs and not more
than that. You will also get lessons to protecting your body by giving
it the essential exercises, taking rest when needed and not putting on
works and pressures your body can't handle.
The lessons for
healthy mental well being are also there. You learn the techniques for
relaxation, switching off and concentrating on one task at a time. You
will also identify the superior powers of mind, which can help you
relax and achieve anything you desire.
Spiritual life is also
something people should not be overlooking. Whatever your religion is,
it is essential that you take time to communicate with the centre of
the universe, your creator and protector.
In fact, all these
three facets are inseparable. There isn't an existence of one without
the other two. However, there are people who go deeply in one area
while ignoring the other two.
While you attend a mind, body and
soul holistic treatment package, you receive the lessons for yoga,
mental control, and the steps you can take to improve your spiritual
life.
You separate yourself from the stringent requirements of
your work schedule and busy life. You stay in a relaxed environment,
where the cool atmosphere, warm sunlight and the pleasant sounds of the
nature soothe you.
