AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON GRIEF

Are you harboring bitterness towards the world and how it was made?

Grieving is the process of tempering ones passions back to reality as it is.

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." (Genesis 1:31).

Once the grieving process is complete, a person rests in this truth.

But how can we call the world good even though there is evil in the world? All change requires the loss of one thing, and gaining of another. If God had made a world without evil, it would be a world where change is impossible.

Instead, He chose to give us free will, and to live in a dynamic world. This has an unfortunate side effect, of causing difficulty, pain and loss.

The unwillingness to accept pain, suffering, and loss is called indignation. It sounds like, "I can't believe this happened to me."

Such emotions are rooted in pride. Do we imagine we are above all suffering? Do we imagine that, like God, no sorrow can touch us?

Grief has 5 stages:

All that we have received in this world is a temporary gift. We should rather rejoice that we received this gifts at all, instead of harboring resentment surrounding their loss.

It is natural to appreciate the good of what you have lost, and to feel the natural sadness that flows from this true appreciation of a gift that has been taken from us.

Nevertheless, our passions for sadness must be subordinate to our passions for true life itself. We must return to the wonder and amazement of the goodness of life itself, and its source, a practice called adoration.

True emotional freedom rests in this goodness, certain that the author of life loves you. One of the most wonderful truths of the Christian faith is the love that Jesus has for you. Isn't it wonderful that true life itself is a person that loves you?

He overcame death, and therefore we have a reason to hope.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

GRIEF IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper. (See all disease stages on JB)

AGGRAVATES THESE DOSHAS & BIOCHARACTERISTICS

'Grief' is likely to aggravate the following doshas and biocharacteristics. If you have a systemic imbalance of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics, Ayurveda would generally recommend removing, substitute or lessen the frequency of 'Grief'.

Imbalance Accumulates

Improper food and lifestyle causes balances to accumulate. Ayurveda shows you exactly which doshas and biocharacteristics are likely to accumulate in your body. Once these doshas and biocharacteristics accumulate too much, they will begin to cause imbalance. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic by removing things that aggravate it from your diet and lifestyle.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

GET STARTED

To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.
