Synopsis

Ayurveda and the Mind explores how to heal our minds on all levels, from the subconscious to the superconscious, along with the role of diet, impressions, mantra, meditation, and yoga in creating wholeness. In this book, Dr. Frawley once again illuminates the practical applications of Ayurveda and yoga as applied to the mind. Through his clear exposition of the Vedic principles of consciousness and its expressions, a simple, yet profound approach to psychological and emotional healing is elucidated. This book reminds us that the mind is a subtle organ, whose health depends upon its ability to extract nourishment from the environment. If we have accumulated toxicity in the form of emotional wounds, frustrations, disappointments, or wrong beliefs, eliminating these impurities from our mental and emotional layers is essential, if we are to have true emotional and spiritual freedom.

Read for the second time, six years after the first read. As he says in the introduction, this is incredibly dense material intended for those who have already done a large amount of study to prepare for this to make sense. I'm amazed to see how little I understood on the first read. Something to ret......more

I am just starting my journey on the subject of Ayurveda. I couldn't have asked for a better book to introduce me. My goal now is to find someone in my area that specializes in Ayurveda and also to keep reading as much as I can on the subject.......more

Goodreads review by Jack on July 07, 2021

. As a textbook for understanding the ayurvedic conception of psychology this is an excellent text . However as a prescription for spiritual practice I would personally look elsewhere, I find the approach to be very dogmatic and reductionists, for a long time I was convinced by this book that the bes......more

Goodreads review by Jon on January 26, 2022

The author, Dr. Fawley, has a interesting and very practical way of conveying the essential points of Ayurveda through analogy, parable and metaphor. Much of the discussion and information correlates already with my own spiritual path, but even so I gained a lot of new insights from reading and thin......more
