Because if Ayurveda is truly a path of the brave, then it invites us to <strong>really get to know each other<\/strong>, with sincerity. And that also means noticing when we are out of balance, accepting it, and acting with kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prakriti and Vikriti: Who are we really?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most beautiful and revolutionary teachings of Ayurveda is that <strong>each of us is unique<\/strong>. There is no \u201cstandard\u201d health model to achieve, but a personal and dynamic balance to recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prakriti<\/strong> it is our basic constitution, the original imprint with which we are born.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vikrit<\/strong> it is the current state of balance or imbalance, which can change based on what we eat, live, feel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being responsible for our health means learning to <strong>distinguish what has always been \u201cours\u201d (prakriti), from what is the result of recent habits or influences (vikriti)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a judgment, but a mirror.<br>And having the courage to look inside ourselves is the first step to taking care of ourselves with respect and truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the concepts of prakriti and vikriti also requires familiarity with the three doshas, the fundamental energies that govern the body and mind:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashramharmonia.com\/it\/blog\/dosha-ayurveda-vata-pitta-kapha-scienza\"> Vata, Pitta and Kapha<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Listen to your body&#039;s signals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The body speaks to us. Always. Only that often, caught up in the speed of life, we do not listen to it.<br>Ayurveda invites us to slow down. To become <strong>observers of our experience<\/strong>. And to note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How do we digest?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much do we sleep?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is our appetite, our skin, our mood?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What dreams do we have?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do we breathe?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every symptom \u2013 small or large \u2013 is a message. Not an enemy to fight, but a precious guide.<br>Headaches, constipation, chronic fatigue, nervous hunger\u2026 they do not come by chance. They are signals that tell us that <strong>something is asking for attention<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we notice signs such as chronic fatigue, bloating, slow digestion or a foggy mind, it is possible that the body is accumulating ama, or undigested toxins.

There is no need to wait for the diagnosis, the test, the drug.<br>We can start right away, with what <strong>every day we decide to do<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get up early and see the sunrise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink warm water in the morning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chew slowly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go for a walk after lunch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid having a late dinner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating a Space of Silence Before Sleeping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds simple? It is.<br>But it requires that inner strength that we call <strong>daily courage<\/strong>. That of those who choose themselves even when they are tired, even when it would be easier to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not everything is under our control\u2026 and that&#039;s okay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being responsible to 99% does not mean being omnipotent.<br>We can&#039;t avoid everything: there will always be unforeseen events, illnesses, pain.<br>But we can choose <strong>How do we respond?<\/strong> to what happens.<br>We can choose to take care of ourselves even in difficult times.<br>We can choose to listen to ourselves, to get help, to never forget ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda does not tell us that we have to be perfect.<br>It tells us that we can be <strong>present<\/strong>, true, alive.<br>And this, often, is already healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Courage is also\u2026 asking for support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being responsible doesn\u2019t mean doing everything alone.<br>On the contrary, those who are truly connected to themselves, <strong>knows when it&#039;s time to ask for help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it\u2019s a guide, a therapist, a teacher\u2026 or even just a friend who listens to us without judging.<br>In Ayurveda, the therapist is not a \u201csavior\u201d, but a <strong>travel companion<\/strong>. A presence that reminds us of what, deep down, we already know:<br>that we can return to the center. That we can find balance again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health is a process, not a goal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people begin an Ayurvedic journey hoping to \u201csolve a problem.\u201d<br>But they soon realize that Ayurveda is not just a medicine. It is a <strong>philosophy of life<\/strong>.<br>It teaches us that health is not a point of arrival, but a <strong>constant movement between balance and imbalance<\/strong>.<br>And that every time we get a little lost, we can find ourselves again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#039;s why it takes courage. Because <strong>Responsibility is not a one-time action<\/strong>, but a continuous choice.<br>A promise we make to ourselves: <em>\u201cI listen to myself. I respect myself.
