According to Ayurveda, there are three energies that influence the movements, structure, and transformation of our inner and outer conditions and are responsible for the mind and body. The three energies are Vata or the wind, Pitta or the fire, and Kapha or the earth. It acknowledges that humans are one and part of nature. There are also two main principles that guide Ayurveda: first, is that the mind and body are inseparable; and second, the mind has the best power to heal and transform the body. Meditation allows the mind and body to restore and keep balance. Through this, neurotransmitters and hormones that the body needs are produced that in return keeps the body healthy. Whether you are just getting started with your yoga<\/a> and mindfulness practice, or a seasoned yogi, these books may provide you with some guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
