Lifestyle and regimen.
According to Ayurveda, the regime plays a very important role in health..
Natural life is regulated according to the individual constitution.
It is best to have a daily routine that manages all daily activities: the time of the morning awakening, the start time of body cleansing and meditation.
• In the morning (preferably before sunrise), get up, perform cleansing procedures, brush your teeth and mouth, then examine your tongue, eyes, nose, throat and clean them.
Language studies may indicate pathological changes that may occur in the relevant organs.
A glass of warm water after this study will help cleanse the kidneys and colon.. Cleaning the tongue with a silver scraper. This massages the tongue and those internal organs that are associated with various parts of the tongue..
• Then you need to massage the body with oil and take a bath. It creates a feeling of freshness. After that, dress comfortably for exercise and meditation.. Breathing exercises are also important in daily routine.. After exercise, rest lying on your back, spread your arms and legs, while breathing with your stomach.
• You can have breakfast after exercise and meditation. If possible, afternoon tea is taken before noon and lunch before sunset.. Go to bed before 10 pm. This mode will give a surge of energy to the body..
Depending on the individual constitution, additions to the regime can be made. For example, for people of vata constitution, the oil regimen must be done in the evening..
• Body position during sleep should be appropriate. Since the left side of the body contains female or lunar energy, and the right side contains male or solar energy, the position of the body during sleep and breathing is of great importance for the constitution and balance of body energy..
If a person always sleeps on the right side, this can increase lunar energy and worsen solar energy.. The deterioration of solar energy can create pitta in the body. Therefore people of pita constitution should sleep on the right side.
If you sleep on the left side, the lunar energy is suppressed and the solar energy is revealed, therefore it is recommended to sleep in this position for people of Vata and Kapha types..
Time.
Time, like matter, is measurable. The substance of time moves, there is a system of measures to take into account this movement: seconds, minutes, hours, days of the week, months and years. There are also time divisions throughout the day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, midnight and dawn. The year is divided into seasons.
The properties of the body are constantly in motion, like time. There is a certain connection between the movement of the tridosh and the movement or passage of time.. The increase or decrease of these three properties in the body is associated with time cycles.. Morning, from sunrise to ten o'clock, is kapha time.
Since kapha prevails at this time, a person feels energy and freshness in the morning and also a little heaviness.. In the middle of the morning, kapha gradually turns into pita.. Pita appears from ten in the morning until two in the afternoon.. At this time, the feeling of hunger increases.. A person feels lightness, hunger and warmth.
At midday, from two in the afternoon until sunset (vata time), a person feels active, light and flexible.. From 6 to 10 p.m., kapha time again sets in - a period of cold air, inertia and reduced energy..
Then from ten in the evening to two in the morning - the peak of pita hours when food is digested. Early in the morning, before sunrise, it's time for vata again.. Since vata creates movement, people wake up at this time and excrete waste.
Breakfast should be early in the morning, between seven and eight o'clock - this applies to people of pita and vata constitution. However, kapha people should not eat breakfast at this time, as eating during kapha creates an increase in kapha in the body.. The best time for lunch is the beginning of pita time - between ten and eleven in the morning.
It is better to eat during daylight hours, when the sun is in the sky, because the sun is a close friend of man.. Eating late at night can completely change the chemical composition of the body, sleep will be disturbed, a person will doze restlessly and, upon waking up, will not feel rested..
If you dine at six in the evening, by nine o'clock your stomach will be empty and your sleep will be deep.. If you change the time of eating so that eating matches the rhythm in the tridosha, you can radically change your life habits..
• The movement of the tridosh is connected not only with the time of the day, but also with the seasons of the year. In autumn, in September, October and November, the leaves fall, the winds blow, and the temperature drops.. This time of year is dominated by Vata..
• Winter lasts from December to February. This is the time of cloudy, snowy and cold temperatures.. Such weather increases kapha and at this time blockages, colds, coughs, bronchitis and pharyngitis predominate..
• Spring, from March to May, is the transition from winter to summer. Kapha worsens in early spring and pita worsens in late spring. During the early winter, kapha accumulated over the winter liquefies and slowly dries up..
Warmth in late spring increases pita heat, contributing to pita disorders such as summer diarrhea, burning eyes, tan-urticaria, dermatitis, and burning feet.. Therefore, it can be proved that changes in the time of day and seasons create changes in the properties of the body - vata, pita, kapha.. Awareness of these changes will help a person to keep in touch with the flow of energy in the external and internal environments..
