This is a big story to tell, and at every level it is completely fascinating. In this book I look at the essentials of Ayurveda so that we can begin to see the depth and gravitas of this ancient knowledge and how best to begin to understand it, and from there how we can work with it. Sounds a bit complicated already? Yes, that was my first thought when I initially stumbled across this idea, but not so now. Essentially, implementing Ayurveda is like learning a new language, a new way of looking at things that is probably a little different from a more linear Western way of doing things. Trust me, this all begins to make sense when you immerse yourself in this new holistic (which comes from the word ‘whole’) approach, relearning the fundamentals of health and viewing life through a 360-degree lens.
