YOGA
According to Ayurveda, the practice of Yoga, which is a spiritual science of life, is a very important, natural, preventive measure to ensure good health. Ayurveda and yoga are twin sister sciences. In India, it is traditional to study Ayurveda before taking up the practice of Yoga, because Ayurveda is the science of the body and only when the body has become fit is the individual considered ready to study the spiritual science of yoga.

PRANAYAM

Breathing exercises, called pranayama, are a yogic healing technique that can bring about an extraordinary balance in the consciousness. In practicing pranayama one experiences pure being and learns the true meaning of peace and love. Pranayama has many healing benefits and also affects creativity. It can bring joy and bliss into life. As with yoga, there are different types of pranayama. Ayurveda indicates which exercises are suitable for the different constitutional types.

TANTRA

The Sanskrit word Tantra means to expand. In Tantrism the deity is Shiva Sakti and it is a system of practices used for spiritual upliftment. Tantra of the human is the body, mind and soul. And tantrism contains all the knowledge of the potential of the human body through tapping the Kundalini energy. Mantras which are phonetic vibrations of energy, and Yantras which are geometrical symbols associated with mantras are the other two aspects to Tantrism. The chakras along the spine, the raising of the kundalini energy which rises from the bottom most chakra at the base of the spine, the chanting of suitable mantras and use of appropriate yantra are all healing elements which help in achieving a balancing of the body mind and consciousness.

Ayurveda is not mysticism. It is a systematic study of the human body mind and soul. It relies on clinical observation and feeling the pulse to locate the imbalances of the body. By balancing the three forces of Vata, Pitta and Kapha through the regime of diet, yoga, meditation and medicines made entirely from natural sources, it treats people in a holistic way.
