A New Year is almost here and it is a good time to review what you've accomplished throughout these past 12 months and start projecting mentally what you would like to actualize within the next 12. Yes, your mind is a powerful tool, so start using it to visualize what you want, and it will lead you in the right direction. This is a good way to begin to put things in motion, at least energetically. You will then need to put your ideas into action and make your dreams come true. But remember... Everything in life is a process. No need to get frustrated with what you have not accomplished. Failure does not exist in the mind of successful people, not because they haven't failed at times, but because each obstacle and each "failure" was perceived as a stepping stone toward improvement and clarity of purpose. Obstacles are challenges and without them there would be no desire to overcome them and make things better for yourself. Perseverance is the key to succeed in any project, big or small. Yet no goal can be accomplished without health. Obstacles come and go, challenges come and go too, but your health is your most precious asset, for without it not much can be done and no dream can come true. So when you make your resolutions for the year to come, don't forget that attaining optimal health and preventing disease should be number one on your list! And we are here to help you accomplish just that with Ayurveda and a natural, common-sense approach, if you need us. Have a Happy, Healthy and prosperous New Year! ...read more

Ok, the holidays are here and we know what that means... dinners, parties, celebrations. We all look forward to visiting with family and gathering with friends, and let's be honest, to indulging in rich food and drinks, too. So the New Year brings new year's resolutions, as we look back and review what we were able to accomplish during the year and what we weren't. Maybe we got a new job, or got married, or had a baby. Or maybe we saw a loved one pass away, or had to deal with a serious health issue. Whatever life had in store for us, and regardless of whether it was pleasant or not, we must go on and look forward to a new year of possibilities. The past does not exist anymore, and as the Buddha taught, nothing is permanent. Why not start the new year with the help of Ayurveda to promote optimal health and a more harmonious lifestyle? Ayurveda is known as the science of life, health and longevity, not only because it is a complete medical system in itself, but also because it is an art of daily living. Let Ayurveda help you achieve optimal health and bring you harmony and well being on all levels, with its holistic and spiritual approach, using Ayurvedic herbs and therapies, nutrition and lifestyle guidelines and Ayurvedic yoga instruction. Start and new year leaving bad habits behind, taking charge of your health and promoting harmony of the whole you.

In our fast-paced society, where quick fixes have become the mainstream approach to pretty much everything, we easily forget that we all have a unique constitution and needs, so the approach to optimal health is not the same for everyone. A cookie-cutter approach won't do, but a natural, common sense lifestyle can bring health and balance to our family and become a legacy that lasts a lifetime. Popping a pill when something is bothering us may provide quick relief, but it does not address what is causing the problem in the first place, and will certainly not prevent it from happening again or worsening. A good analogy to quick fixes may be imagining yourself trying to do laundry with muddy water. Yes, you are washing your clothes, but if the water isn't clean, most likely your clothes won't be clean either. Likewise, you may have a symptom that you temporarily suppress with a pharmaceutical drug, but the underlying toxicity that causes the symptom in the first place not only remains, but may also increase due to the side effects of the drug and the fact that you are not aware of what is causing it. Ayurveda's holistic system provides the tools to understand how diet and lifestyle impact your health on a physical, mental and emotional levels, and how you can counteract imbalance and prevent disease. Understanding how food affects your health and behavior is key. In Ayurveda, digestion is the uttermost foundation to optimal health, so improving digestion is extremely important to avoid the formation of toxins that will eventually affect your system and promote disease. A few changes in your diet and lifestyle can make a huge difference for you and your family. As we are all different individuals, Ayurveda can assess your individual needs and offer a personalized regime with herbal nutrition, diet and lifestyle guidelines, and Ayurvedic therapies when needed. This is true for you and your whole family. It is no surprise that Ayurveda, which is India's 5000-year old system of life, health and longevity, is becoming recognized in the West as one of the most effective systems of holistic medicine.
