Several factors contribute to our overall health\u2014  and these factors can ultimately become causes of disease in mind and body if not properly cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ayurveda has a unique perspective on these factors\u2014  as it examines the causes behind common imbalances affecting our everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the oldest medical texts of Ayurveda, Charaka Samhita<\/em> mentions 3 major causes of disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PradnyaApradha: Offence against wisdom.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indriya Arth Samyoga: Unwholesome contact of senses with their objects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parinama: Seasonal Effects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Become<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We of course know the senses as hearing, touch, site, smell, and taste<\/strong>. It is easy to understand that this is how our external world enters our body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What we may not be as<\/em> aware of, is how these things we take in are bound to have an impact on us internally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Root<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Types<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AtiYoga – Excessive contact of senses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

HeenaYoga \u2013Insufficient\/deficient contact of senses <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MithyaYoga \u2013 Inappropriate contact of senses, causing confusion in mind or body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples of how you may experience these in your life:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. AtiYoga (Excessive)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Listening to loud music at concerts or in headphones, or working in environments with constant loud noises from heavy machinery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in extreme temperatures for long \u2013 cold or hot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staring at your smartphones\/computer screen for long durations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating frequently <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. HeenaYoga (Deficient)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wearing sunglasses or shaded glasses in dark environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excessive of sunscreen or shade, when you need sun instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. MithaYoga (Inappropriate)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reading in poor lighting or reading very small print, as it is exhausting to the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating foods of hot and cold combinations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exposing to hot and cold environments at same time, like drinking ice cold water when your body is very hot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These improper uses of senses commonly cause imbalance in \u2018<\/strong>Vata<\/strong>,’ by increasing all or some of its characteristics. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Remember from previous writings, Vata<\/a> is air and space elements, with characteristics of: cold, dry, light, mobile, and rough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vata aggravation can ultimately lead to physical and mental impairments, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stress<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sleep and Focus Issues<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Headaches<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Improper Digestion<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And Even Anxiety Disorders<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

More serious disease eventually develops long-term<\/strong> if not treated.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Invitation<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main thing you can do is start to become aware of how you are interacting with your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you exposing yourself to excessive, deficient, or inappropriate contact of your senses? If so, which ones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My goal…<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, I look at causes behind our mental and physical impairments. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For example, if one is struggling with anxiety, it can likely be traced back to your lifestyle\u2014  and I may look to these three major causes of disease as pieces of the puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This week, I invite you to be aware of instances of Improper contact of your senses with their environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
