My 2nd graduate certificate in Yoga Therapy – first was level 1 in Australia 2004 & level 2 in Mamalapuram in India 2005 with AG Mohan – Svastha yoga Ayurveda.
Why did I do it again?
What did I learn?
Was it worth it?
Would I do it again?

Continue repeating the sequence always starting with the index finger. The pace between each movement is approximately 1 second per fingertip. To end, inhale, hold the breath for a few seconds, focus the eyes upward, exhale and relax.

Translation:
SA is the beginning, infinity, the totality of everything that ever was, is or will be.TA is life, existence and creativity that manifests from infinity.
NA is death, change and the transformation of consciousness.
MA is rebirth, regeneration and resurrection which allows us to consciously experience the joy of the infinite.
SA TA NA MA
is so primal that its impact on our psyche is like splitting an atom. The power of this mantra comes from the fact that it rearranges the subconscious mind at the most elementary level. It has the power to break habits and addictions because it accesses that level of the mind where habits are created.

Ayurveda complimentary food
The 6 food tastes all have a different effect on your digestion – sweet sour salty bitter pinger & astringent.
Each individual has their own digestive power that can either easily digest, digest too quickly or be blocked up by certain types of foods and their after taste.
If your digestive fire is too strong you may not be receiving the nutrients from the food you eat.
Therefore doesn’t it makes sense to eat foods that you can digest? The same applies to each of your senses even digestable movies and friends!
Too fast a digestive fire or too slow is worth understanding about yourself – to prevent a build up of toxins that eventually lead on to dis ease and travel through your organs into your brain or nervous system etc
The same can be said of eating foods that your system can not digest easily -they remain blocked up in your digestive track creating rancid and putrid toxins that can travel to your brain and extremities.
Yoga connects the mind to the body so we can sense what is going on in our internal body. Food is medicine – what you put in effects your whole system ( just like petrol in a car )
Today many people are so disassociated from their body – heart – and mind so they all work independently – and they have to ask an outsider ( Dr ) if they can advise them what is happening with their health.
The side effects of medication are often worse than the dis ease in the body – why not become aware of the source of the suffering by being conscious of the before and after effects of your food?
