The Wellness Sense

BLURB:
Why do
the results of a weight loss programme vary from individual to individual?
And why
do some people fall sick more often than others?
The
science of Ayurveda holds answers to these questions and many more. Its
scriptures took a holistic approach to health by combining our lifestyle with
our natural tendencies (which vary from one person to another).
This
groundbreaking new work from Om Swami combines the yogic view of food as
sattvic, rajasic and tamasic with the Ayurvedic perspective, and further
relates it to the modern view of food as acidic and alkaline. This is also the
first time Ayurvedic prakriti (vata, pitta and kapha) has been discussed in the
context of yogic prakriti (sattvic, rajasic and tamasic) in a truly cohesive
fashion.
The
Wellness Sense is a simple, step-by-step handbook on how to take better care of
yourself. Accessibly written, deeply researched and distilled from Om Swami’s
own livid experience, The Wellness Sense puts your health and happiness in your
hands.

EXCERPT
Let me give you the golden principle, the primordial
mantra to stay in the finest of your physical, mental and emotional health. If
you adopt what I am going to tell you, you will become a powerful agent, a
catalyst in your own transformation. At the root of most ailments, diseases and
disorder is clutter. Clutter could exist in your physical, mental or emotional
world. Generally, clutter in any one world is a strong indication that it
exists in the other two too.
Most people carry a clutter of thoughts, often
painful thoughts of the past. They walk around in a mess of negative emotions
carrying a bag of unfulfilled desires. Such thoughts and emotions continue to
pile up, making us feel heavier and heavier until one day when we can take it
no more and break down. This point of break-down starts to manifest in the form
of ailments in our three bodies long before it appears in the tests and medical
imaging. How do we clean the clutter in the physical world? We organize the
necessary stuff and discard the useless. This leads me to the golden mantra — Simplify
Your Life. This is truly the yogic sense, the Wellness Sense.
