Strong Digestion & Constipation

Creating a strong digestion is very important for the system especially when you're constipated.
Foods that are not properly digested create toxins and impurities that get absorbed and localize in tissues and disrupt their true nature of functioning.

Here's what you can do to strengthen your digestive system so constipation won't occur -

• herbal preparations 
• favor foods that enhance digestion
• use of proper spices
• knowing what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner
• exercise, yoga and breathing techniques 
• proper food combinations
• lifestyle and daily routine
• stress management
• balancing the nervous system
• herbalized oil massage 

Natural Urges

An urge is a natural impulse the body gives to you.  In Ayurveda, this is called Vega vidhran.  It is a process of metabolism controlled by Vata.  To resist an urge or to create an urge forcefully aggravates or creates an imbalance in Vata.  If you suppress the natural urges of your body, you are violating the pathway of Vata and creating imbalance.  The body is put through stress and creates discomfort and physiological changes.

Below is a list of these natural urges according to Ayurveda:

1. urine
2. feces
3. sex
4. vomiting
5. sneezing
6. burping
7. coughing
8. yawning
9. hunger
10. thirst
11. tears
12. sleep
13. breathing
14. gas 

This is the first step to prevent disease - do not suppress any natural urge!  These urges occur because the body is trying to let something out.  So let it out!

Sounds can influence brain wave frequencies and promote well being.  

We all have a specific kind of music or sound which brings chills throughout our entire bodies.  But is that music or sound triggering anything in your body?  Is that music or sound bringing you overall bliss?  

Gandharva Veda is part of the Forty Aspects of the Vedic Literature.  Gandharva Veda is the melodious expression of the self-referral mechanisms of the Unified Field of Natural Law.  It is the direct reflection of the cycles of rhythm in Nature, thus having the power to bring our physiology and environment in alignment with Natural Law and having direct effects to our psycho-physiology.  

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi says that Gandharva music is the music of the universe or Nature which governs the universe from point to infinity.  This melody is highly integrative with everything else in the universe.
