Dear John ,
These days we are inundated by so many wellness ‘breakthroughs’ promising that our life will be transformed if we try this diet, buy that cream, do this exercise regime, etc.. that it can be difficult to know which advice to trust.
Generally - although you probably won’t find it on the Instagram feed of the latest wellness guru - the most reliable advice is the tried and tested kind; the one that has stuck around for thousands of years. |

| Ayurveda is one of the most ancient and renowned systems of medicine, thought to have been around since the Vedic period, (c. 1500 – c. 500 B.C.E). Translated as the ‘science of life’ Ayurveda seeks to prevent illness, rather than cure it. It places great emphasis on the importance of balance and asserts that our health is intrinsically linked to our internal and external environment. |
|
|
Ayurveda recognises that we have an innate nature (body, mind and consciousness) and studying it can help us to understand our unique constitution. Once we have a better understanding of this and how it may change on any given day, we can make more informed choices and learn how best to support ourselves throughout our lives.
And that beats desperately scrolling through Instagram, hoping to find the next cure-all for a happier, more harmonious you any day ;)
Check out Irina’s article below for a simple, self-care morning routine, as well as her new Academy courses on Ayurveda (with a little 'Early bird' treat).
Love,
Esther and the team. |
