Focus on balancing mind, body, and spirit for overall health from "summary" of Everyday Ayurveda by Bhaswati Bhattacharya

In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, health is viewed as a state of balance between mind, body, and spirit. It is believed that when these three elements are in harmony, an individual experiences overall well-being. This holistic approach to health recognizes that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and influence each other. The mind plays a crucial role in maintaining health as it has the power to affect our physical well-being. Negative thoughts and emotions can manifest as physical symptoms, while a calm and focused mind can promote healing and vitality. By cultivating positive mental states through practices such as meditation and mindfulness, we can support our overall health and well-being. The body is another essential component in the Ayurvedic approach to health. According to Ayurveda, the body is made up of three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – which govern various physiological functions. Imbalances in these doshas can lead to disease and discomfort. By following a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, and practicing self-care rituals, we can support our physical health and prevent imbalances. The spirit, or essence of an individual, is considered the core of one's being in Ayurveda. It is believed that when the spirit is nourished and aligned with one's true nature, a sense of purpose and fulfillment is experienced. Practices such as yoga, pranayama (breathwork), and gratitude can help connect us to our inner spirit and promote emotional well-being.
