Wisdom And The Senses: An Ayurvedic approach to wellbeing
Ayurvedic medical philosophy describes “transgressions against nature” as a fundamental cause of illness and suffering. Based on the insight that our state of mind influences how our sense organs relate to the outer world, and, in turn, influence our physiological functions, Ayurvedic medicine provides us with a profoundly spiritual yet highly practical system for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing — both individually and collectively. Join David Crow, author, herbalist, educator, and founder of Floracopeia Aromatic Treasures, as he elegantly illuminates these principles.
During this remarkable session, you'll discover:
- How the relationship between our sense organs & the outer environment creates physiological balance or imbalance
- Common examples of illnesses and epidemics caused by improper conjunction of the sense organs & sense objects
- How the current state of the world is a reflection of our collective consciousness
