What are the Principles and Philosophy of Ayurveda and how does it Work?

By Vaidyar Mani and Nicky Hewett, Ancient’s Best – Ayurveda & Yoga ‘Ayur’ in Sanskrit translates to mean Life or Longevity, and ‘Veda’ to mean Science, Knowledge, or Understanding.

What did you learn today?

by columnist Gabrielle Harris, The Suburban Yogini Whenever I pick my son up from school I glimpse the little sign on the gate: What did you learn today? Life is one big yogic experiment offering us plenty of lessons to grow and learn from daily. The trick is to be aware of what we learn and then put that lesson into action. For the really slow learners like me, the lessons are presented over and over again in different forms. I’m Vata, according to the Ayurvedic* health system. We learn … [Read more...]

DVD Review: Karma – The Path of Action

See the end of this review for a chance to win a copy of Karma - The Path of Action. My brown parcel of one DVD for review arrived while I was rutting my way through a gnarly space in my life. I shelved the DVD, needing to find the Right Space to watch and comment on it. That Right Space never arrived. However, swayed by the deadline to write a review, I pulled the first DVD out of its box and set up a small window on my laptop so that I could listen as I went about clearing emails … [Read more...]

On moving toward a world with no moral codes, rules or regulations

On moving toward a world with no moral codes, rules or regulations

There is no authority that exists, or need exist externally from our Selves. We need no moral code. We need no rules. We need no regulations. All we need is be completely honest with ourselves (conscious!) and understand the implications of our actions. All we need is to understand and know that we are a part of the Whole, and anything we do to another we do to ourselves because we are all One. … [Read more...]
