The document discusses the principles of yogic nutrition according to Ayurveda. Foods are categorized as sattvic, rajasic, or tamasic based on their qualities. Sattvic foods such as fruits and vegetables promote purity, health, and mental clarity. Rajasic foods like meat and spices overstimulate the mind and body. Tamasic foods which are stale or rotten cause lethargy. A yogic diet focuses on sattvic foods to nourish the body and calm the mind for spiritual practices.

Nutrition is the science that interprets the nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. It is what heals us, as wholesome food is essential to make yoga and any other fitness plan work much more effectively. A proper diet that includes nutritious food delivers the optimal amounts of nutrients to your body when you are engaged in yoga. Your body can’t produce all those nutrients on its own, and therefore it’s important to consume good food that supports a yogic lifestyle and to refine and solidify the results you want to achieve. To reach optimal energy levels. You may find some modern-day yoga practitioners a little worn out, and tired and the reason is they train like yogis, but they don’t eat like them. When you perform yoga and fill your daily diet with proper nutrients to compliment the physical engagement, not only will you notice a significant improvement in performance, but, it will also help to fight the effects of ageing.

HOLISTIC HEALTH AND WELLBEING IN WOMEN THROUGH YOGA Women are expected to multi-task all the time, live like Super-(wo)-man; take care of their domestic duties with efficiency and grace, and work outside justifying their education and intellectual capabilities. The answer is Yoga which is a blessing indeed for women across the globe to handle their multiple responsibilities with proficiency and poise. Yoga does more than just make their bodies supple, it balances mind and nourishes the soul. With repetition and regularity, Yoga is ideal for women of all ages to improve flexibility, strength and sense of well-being. The woman gets charged up to face the challenges of life and living with clarity, confidence and steadiness. Yogic lifestyle is a unique synergy of body and breath work helps get rid of suppressed and regressed emotions that burdens one down by ‘letting-go’ of the tensions, energising the whole being. Yoga practice fuels the metabolic system and helps burn fat leading to weight loss and enhances all round fitness. Yoga promotes mindfulness that helps women make good dietary choices enabling feeling of satiation, preventing weight gain overtime. Yogic life style promotes integration and harmony of physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels of existence of a woman, thereby enabling her to be a holistically healthy individual.

The Yoga Diet

HealthProU

What is a Yoga Diet? Yoga diet is an essential part of any yoga practice. However, a yoga diet is not your typical weight-loss plan: it does not require calorie counting, going without, or extensive menu planning. Rather, a yoga diet is an approach to eating, a way of redefining your personal relationship with food in order to achieve emotional and spiritual balance. Constituting its own branch of yoga known as “Anna Yoga,” yoga diets are all about how the food you eat affects you and how it helps or hinders you from reaching your spiritual goals. While yoga diets feature foods that are highly nutritious, they are also very diverse, meaning they can be tailored to suit anyone – vegetarians, meat eaters, people with digestive conditions, and people with allergies. Contents Yoga Diet: The Tri-Gunas Effects of Food in the Yoga Diet Yoga Diet Food Choices Examples of Sattvic foods: Examples of Rajasic foods: Examples of Tamasic foods: Yoga Diet in Moderation Yoga Diet: The Tri-Gunas In keeping with the philosophy of yoga, eating the right food is considered an essential component in achieving physical, mental and emotional balance. The yogic literature speaks of three “gunas” or “tri-gunas” (elemental forces of nature): Sattvic: Foods that are beneficial to us (pure) Tamasic: Foods that are stale or rotten (impure) Rajasic: Foods that are spicy/stimulating In the ideal yoga diet, impure Tamasic and Rajasic foods are avoided, while Sattvic foods are embraced. Effects of Food in the Yoga Diet Based on the premise that what we eat affects us internally and externally, a Sattva diet – that is, a diet rich in fresh, natural (chemically unaltered), whole, and non-spicy foods – is conducive to higher thought and deep understanding, as well as to a body free from disease. Conversely, tamasic and rajasic diets – that is, consumption of extremely spicy foods, unrefined sugars, and alcoholic beverages – are said to stimulate cravings, passions, and uncontrolled desires of the lower animal brain. These foods thus inhibit the mind from elevated thought and the attainment of profound understanding. Yoga Diet Food Choices Since our minds and bodies must be properly nourished to remain alert and energized, the practice of yoga should be coupled with eating the right and avoiding the wrong kind of foods. Sattvic foods nourish the body, helping the mind maintain a peaceful state, helping the body function in maximum health, and producing a balanced flow of energy between the mind and body. A Sattvic diet is comprised of non-animal foods with the exceptions of dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and eggs. Examples of Sattvic foods: Whole grains and cereals Fresh fruit and vegetables Pure fruit juices Legumes Nuts & seeds Honey Herbal teas Milk, butter, and cheese Rajasic diets – foods that are hot, bitter, sour, dry or salty – over-stimulate the body, make the mind restless,

This is the third in a series of lectures I offered through Yama Yoga Studios, Doha, on Ayurveda. The focus of this lecture was therapeutic approaches to health--this lecture integrated information from the first two to give students a holistic perspective on their health and individual bodies and subtle body constitutions. This is based on thousands of years of study in India and is a very powerful approach to health.

Tri Dosha - Vata Pitta Kapha

KrishnaPriyaChakrabo1

Tridosha: The Science Of Ayurveda and the three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) Introduction: The ancient science of Ayurveda is the oldest known form of health care in the world. Often called the mother of all healing, it originated in India some 5000 or more years ago. Ayurveda defines disease as the natural end result of living out of harmony with one’s constitution. Our constitution is the inherent balance of energies within our bodies and our minds. It describes who you are on the most fundamental level. This unique balance of energy determines everything from our bone structure to our predisposition toward certain health challenges. Our constitution defines what we are naturally attracted to as well as what repels us. It defines what is in harmony with our nature and what will cause us to move out of balance and experience sickness and disease. Because we all have a different balance of energy, Ayurveda shows that the path to optimal health is different for each person depending upon their constitution. Vata The vata dosha is said to be made up of the air and ether elements. This means that it has qualities which are similar to these elements. Vata is very much like the wind--it is light, cool, dry and mobile. In the body, those people with a vata nature experience more of these qualities. Their bodies tend to be light, their bones thin, and their skin and hair dry. They often move and speak quickly. When out of balance, they may lose weight, become constipated and have weakness in their immune and nervous systems These qualities also reflect in their personality. Those with a vata nature tend to be talkative, enthusiastic, creative, flexible, and energetic. Yet, when out of balance they may also become easily confused and overwhelmed, have difficulty focusing and making decisions and have trouble sleeping. This becomes more apparent when they are under stress. Emotionally they are challenged by cool emotions like worry, fear, and anxiety. In order to bring balance to vata, programs are designed which emphasize the opposing qualities of warmth, heaviness (nourishment), moistness, and stability. In the diet, this is reflected in the consumption of cooked grains such as rice and cooked vegetables, as well as the intake of warm milk with spices. Pungent herbs like ginger which increase internal heat and nourishing herbs like ashwagandha bring balance to Vata. Ayurvedic programs include not only herbs and diet but also color and aroma therapies, detoxification, yoga, and meditation. Pitta dosha The pitta dosha is said to be made up of the fire and water elements. Fire is more predominant, and those people with a predominant pitta nature have many of the qualities of fire within them. Pitta tends to hot, sharp, and penetrating. It is also somewhat volatile and oily. The oily nature of Pitta is related to the secondary component of water. People with a Pitta nature reflect these qualities. They tend to feel warm and have somewhat oily skin, penetrati

Yoga and Ayurveda have long been linked together as two complimentary systems of human development. They grew up organically intertwined through their common ancient Vedic roots – the legacy of the legendary Himalayan rishis who understood the laws of the universe and the inner process of cosmogenesis that holds the keys to all transformations. The two systems have maintained a long and intimate history, interacting upon and enhancing one another up to the present day. Ayurveda is the “second phase” of interest in Yoga, which builds upon the first phase of interest in Yoga as an exercise system.

Exploring the Mindfulness Understanding Its Benefits.pptx

MartaLoveguard

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives. Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life. Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood. Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment. Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health. Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections. Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits. Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships. By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others. Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding. Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness. Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings. Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences. Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life You can practice mindfulness in everyday activities such as washing dishes or taking a walk in the park. Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence. Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life.

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx

Stephen Palm

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
