EMPOWERING THE MIND WITH THE HELP OF AYURVEDA
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The concept of relation of sound body and mind in Ayurveda is well known. No one is taught in life, how to handle mind and to take care of it properly. Almost all miseries in human life can perhaps be attributed to the mishandling of mind. A proper understanding of mind and cognitive process, will help in mastering mind. In Ayurveda Sareera and Manas both are abode of diseases. Raga, Krodha, Moha, Bhaya etc are considered as Mano viakaras. Two strategies that can be adopted in preventive health care are avoiding exposure to risk factors and reducing the suspectibility of mind by empowering the mind. Satwajaya is to hold back the mind from undesirable activities. By satwavajaya only psychological imbalance can be tackled. The strength of mind can be increased by increasing level of satwaguna, which is nothing but purity and contentment.
