Om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat

In order to have a happy life, it is absolutely necessary to get to know your own mind- as that is the root of all suffering. In order to get to know your own mind it takes intention, focus, stability, and a healthy body. Mind and body are different from each other but they overlap and affect one another. By using the tools in Ayurveda, one learns how to eat, sleep, exercise, work, and socialize according to their individual constitutions. Everyone is different and requires different things to maintain balance. By using Buddhist practices and philosophies one comes to understand the nature of their thoughts, feelings, and motivations, which over time can lead to a multitude of changes in thought pattern, response to stimuli, and can culminate in realizations that lead to a much happier, healthier, more meaningful existence.
