Do you have sign-up-itis? I know I do. I just can’t seem to resist those beautifully marketed web programs. I think I need an intervention.
Ayurvedically speaking, Sign-up-itis is the curse of the Vata-type person. We’re not the best when it comes to self-control, we get seduced by creative shiny packages, we love to try new things, but we tend to fall short in the stick-to-it department.

The New Russian-developed Veda Pulse machine can analyse levels of pulse variation in 5 minutes and deliver a sophisticated Chinese Medicine diagnosis, suggested meridians and treatments and even identify the acupuncture points. This enables everyone to benefit from Chinese Medicine instead of submitting to drugs and surgery.

You see, I finally figured out that Ayurveda can be simple or it can be complex. It’s your choice. If you want to dive deep into it like I did (and still do), go for it. But you don’t have to know all the terminology. And guess what You don’t even have to like Indian food! So many people say to me “I just don’t get Ayurveda”. They’re curious, but think that all of the dosha-specific food lists are intimidating (they are) and that they have to know without a shadow of a doubt what their constitution is in order to understand the concepts (they don’t).

How clever Mother Nature is to design plants in the hot desert climate to be able to store water instead of needing it constantly.

Gifts seem amusing on the first day of Christmas, but by the twelfth day they’re in landfill. Only 1% remain in use after six months. The consumerist festival of junk results in such destructive impact, that it will ramify for generations. Bake your loved one a cake, write them a poem, give them a kiss, tell them a joke, rather than trashing the planet to show them how much you care.
