Ayurvedic Tips and Reminders
Sound is the primary sense in Ayurveda. For example; the beating of the heart, a beautiful song and the sound of a splash of water. Our body releases pleasure producing chemicals when we hear sounds and also make sounds.
For Vata; sounds can be warming, grounding and relaxing
For Pitta; cool sweet sounds like the ocean waves or cool jazz are pleasing
Kapha;a driving beat such as rap, rock and roll and drumming are stimulating
Sound has the potential to transform our biology.
A great saint teaches; “The soundless sound arises and subsides in the space of flawless quietude”. Gurumayi Chidvalasananda
