Ayu thoughts Collection

COLLECTION OF FORMER AYURVEDA THOUGHTS:

What and how much we eat, how we prepare our food, how much time we spend for the meal and in wich mental condition we are during the meal - all this decides whether we nourish ourselves correctly or wrongly, well or badly. In Ayurveda the meaning of natural medicine comes to nutrition. Cures are ordered only then, if the correct nutrition does mo more work alone medicative for welfare.

Humans, who long themselves for well-being, should oppose the urge to do bad in thoughts words and acts. Greed, gram, fear, annoyance, vanity, shamelessness, excessive adhering keeps the sage away from itself. Intelligent humans do not wallow in excessive manipulation like loud laughter, gossip, sexual intercourse and nocturnal remaining awake, even if he is accustomed to it.

Remember that the joy in a mouth-watering meal is not to be exaggerated also in Christmas time by eating too much of it. That leads only to pain (stomach complains, liver problems, obesity).

Hunger is a phenomenon, which increases if one eats much and decreases if one eats little.

A "western" physician treats a disturbance of the health under the criterion of destruction of "bacteria" and "viruses" and worries less about nutrition and life habits. The patient sees the thermometer as basis for his health and makes no point of special nutrition, if the blood heat is normal. So he continues nourishing himself wrongly and therefore abets renewed emerging of an illness.

(by Dr. Waidyawansa - chief lady doctor of the Lotus-Villa)

Ayurveda - thus the healing of diseases by medicine from nature - was always existing in the whole world. Also in Europe monks maintained their own herb gardens and manufactured medicine. At present Ayurveda is well-known in the western world mostly because of the "Wellness" treatments. Medical success of this asiatic cure method AYURVEDA are not well-known therefore. Famous are Acupuncture and TCM in the meantime also in the west. Since Ayurveda adjusts EVERYTHING with the individual person, treatments are often complex and require a well co-ordinated team, as it is at my disposal e.g. in the Lotus-Villa.

(by Dr. Waidyawansa - chief lady doctor of the Lotus-Villa)

Many pathogens become ever more resistant to antibiotics. If now thus the pathogenic organisms become more resistant to medicines, why then not also humans can become resistant to dideases?

Ayurveda develops therefore not on the use of medicine against becteria, but on a stabilization of the strenght and health, so that the patient can beat the infection.


From the Ayurveda book by Dr. Vinod Verma:

In Ayurveda humans are not treated equally, it is also not assumed that everyone can hold up its health by the fact that he obeys the same way of life, eats the same food, adheres to the same rules and takes the same medicine. All humans have tremendously large ranges of variation and immense individual differences. Therefore they cannot be treated in such a way, as if they would be a mechanical apparatus.


Ayurveda do not forbid, but promotes the joys of the life! Therefore it forbids neither to smoking nor drinking. It is even recommended to enjoy both - however on ceremonies way only. Smoke and alcohol should be noticed consciously and only taken in highest quality. Excessiveness leads to serious physical damage. The author Dr. Vinod Varma says: „Do not let you be enslaved by habits. You are the boss and you have the strength to carry your life in your hands“.

AGING IS A MISTAKE
(out of the book "Perfect Health" from Deepak Chopra):

Although everyone falls prey to the aging process, no one has ever proved that it is necessary. One great advantage of the quantum mechanical body is that it does not age, a quality one sees throughout the quantum level of nature. Protons and neutrons do not grow older; nor does electricity and gravity. Life, which consists of these fundamental particles and forces, is astonishingly durable; your DNA has remained much the same for the last 600 million years. A horseshoe crab crawling in the muck of ancient sea beds bears no visible likeness to a dinosaur, or a dinosaur to a gorilla, but from the vantage point of DNA, these are tiny variations on one unending theme.

Ayurveda about the term „soul “:
From the book "Ayurveda for the Soul" from Dr. Aruna Bandara.

In the Indian philosophy of the Veda the soul (Brahman, Atman) is neither a feeling nor an idea, but an unlimited field of energy and consciousness, in which we emerge, live and disappear as personal individuals. We do not have an individual soul, we are an all-comprehensive soul. As the waves in the sea are a small part of the ocean however not separate from it, then everyone of us is a singular feature and an individual expression of the life. Each creature is life and connected with its unrestrained strength on the most intimate. But nobody can check it, even if the brain wants us to make it believe. The intellect with its sciences and feelings is even an instrument of the life, not its master.
