It's CRAZY How Daily Rituals using Ayurveda Can Transform Your Energy & Vitality! Victor Briere

yeah it's dangerous right so the the doshas um because we don't have 15 hours to explain the metaphysics of ayurveda um the doshas are for all intents and purposes uh biological functions that a sentient being has built into their system okay so for example Vata the vat Doan ayurveda is common to all sentient creatures all sentient creatures have aat DOA and that's the profile of their physiology that deals with how to regulate pressure throughout the system okay so in a human your heart beat and your heart rate is the primary source of how the body regulates internal pressure systems yeah so or the lungs diaphragm things like that and then that has an effect on how the body operates so like when the body changes the breath rate or the heart rate the entire blood pressure changes which then informs the body to behave certain ways so if we get Str or if we if we look outside and we see a tiger then automatically the heart rate jumps the breath rate jumps and it tells the body to get ready to go right the blood pressure jumps so that we have this intensified state to get away from the Tiger fight the tiger whatever we got to do so that's vados deals with that whole regulatory system the Padia deals with the part of our physiology that works as a metabolic Force so transforming one thing into another breaking down food um basically all the acids hormones uh things like that in our body that are transformative okay and then the cafod Doha deals with the actual building of structure in our systems so how cells stack on top of each other okay regeneration growth um anything that involves that is our body's inherent knowledge of how to do that for itself and so those doshas adapt to different environments internal and external and because they can adapt we get a range of flexibility of how we can thrive in different environments but that same adaptation gives them the potential to fall out of balance they fall to balance too far away from our Natural Balance point and we get sick balance is definitely a word that goes right along with all of this isn't it that's kind of what we're striving for yes balance but a very particular kind of balance um balance is a very broad vague word it's like I need to find balance you know yeah um no balance actually on a in a physiological sense is based on the do's harmony with a person's what's called their procu okay and that's their inherent Constitution that's actually set at the time of their birth uh sorry their conception wow okay yeah so we're trying to get in balance with that blueprint that's built into our code our inherent code that is so interesting yeah I want to draw back to the the Dosha quiz because is there a wouldn't the way you explained it to me that sounds like that there we all have all three how how are you find out which one you are or which one you have or is that just absolute nonsense no no everyone has a it's like a recipe we all have a unique distribution of how the does function and create who we are so it's like a recipe or a fingerprint but it's extremely nuanced and sophisticated so with broad Strokes we could say yeah you're Pitto dominant like you're PTO oh okay right I could tell just by looking at you but I spent yeah you uh yeah but I spent 15 years training that ability wow right so if for example you had a whole bunch of imbalances in your system you would feel a certain way you would think a certain way you would notice certain things about your physical form your attitudes your so on and so forth if you take a Dosha quiz they just say do you tend to get anxious uh yes then you know you answer a bunch of questions like that it's GNA say oh you're Vata dominant okay okay that's not true that's actually your imbalance the last thing you want to do is identify with that um so anyways yeah that makes a lot of sense don't take online do acquisit that's our takea away from the first part of this interview now I would like to know how could I integrate any typical ayurvedic treatments into my day-to-day life is is it for the treatment of illness alone or is it a daily practice that you can continue for wellness every day great question is both so ayurveda describes in great detail um what to do to maintain health and also what to do to restore Health if it's lost okay and there are I mean we can spend as much time as you want this there are hundreds of suggestions for both um but yes it's much more about it's much the objective is to maintain health and not get sick um but not just that it's to experience a level of Vitality like literally it's like it's not health is not just about yeah I feel okay nothing's wrong yeah yeah you know trying to thrive exactly it's about like feeling great like feeling vital feeling full of energy and feeling full of strength and all that that's the goal for ayurva not just uh yeah there's nothing wrong today so I'll do nothing yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly right um so yeah that's that's the idea so what are some practices that people would do daily if they were using arua so that's called Dinara means daily routine and there's you know it's again it's gonna be different for everybody but there's kind of like a archetype if you will okay okay so you know circadian rhythm is very important for our long term health so you got to wake up at the right time Iva says that time is roughly 48 minutes before Sunrise now okay that depends if you live in the North Pole South Pole don't do that because so um but you know so I think my kids definitely got that memo yeah exactly and then um you know you want to eat at the right times uh basically you're eating two to three meals a day no more um you're going to eat at the right time so you know if you're eating a breakfast then it's going to be around 8 um lunch is going to be between 12 and one and dinner is going to be between five and six um and the there are reasons for all that that's not just some person saying that because that's what they like to do yeah it's it's because of the Circ it's because of our bodies are actually naturally geared towards the sun and moon cycle yes we like to forget but we are part of Nature and 100% yeah right and so you know there actually is no such thing as a night owl um there are people who like to stay up late and they're actual owls but that's it right yeah that's it and that's that's that's fine I'm not saying that they're doomed to poor health but it's one factor that they've trained their body into for a variety of reasons that's actually not the natural cycle for the for the human body yeah um we're not nocturnal uh we don't do well that way it it messes with nervous system and digestive system in the end so that's one thing following your cating Rhythm um the next thing could be uh eating the right Foods based on your present moment situation imbalances and your procr your Bas Constitution and that's G to be wildly different for every person for everybody yeah imagine but of course you know you don't want to go eating a bunch of donuts and I mean there yeah there are some there are advice that everybody can take on that one but I can imagine how it could be tailored to everybody's specific needs like where they were born almost it comes from the start you know absolutely right so SATA is a concept in ayurveda which is um the a person's genetic or ancestral history with certain Cuisines and certain environments uh their bodies are adapted to operate best in those environments so that's a factor of heal health of course um and what else so then there's stress levels uh uh when to get your exercise um so typically is there an ideal time to get your exercise definitely definitely i' never heard that before yeah definitely in the morning before eating oh so like a fasted workout with is that what they call this yeah sure Ur ayurveda doesn't but yes works just as well um and it does need to be we're not talking like you know extreme CrossFit max out right but you know then the exercise is going to be based on the age of the person what they're capable of what they need all that kind of stuff gets tailored but you want to do it at that time really you can do it at the end of the day but you definitely don't want to do it right after eating it's that's really bad foral right so uh because that takes resources away from the digestive system and then you end developing higher levels of toxicity and that creates problems and so that's interesting I hadn't thought about it like that I was had almost looked at it as like you got a fuel the work out but I like when you think about it you are like your digestive system is in full swing and then you're making the body go and do like have such an output that does make a lot of sense yeah and and you know if a relatively healthy person has plenty of fuel to fuel will work out without needing to have just eaten yeah yeah yeah so there's that um there's meditative practices there's breathing practices are a big deal because they regulate the autonomic nervous system um so on and so forth breathing practices I feel are so um popular nowadays there was a new book called Brett that my husband's reading and he loves it he does the whm Hoff breathing I don't know if that's in any way related but breathing practices is that the same like the de the deep breath and hold it or what do they differ a little bit in your practice there are literally thousands of breathing practices um so it depends on again what kind of what you need at the moment they're they're fast breasts that use the naval point a lot there are slow breasts they are breasts where you adjust the posture of the neck so that the air comes in differently there's breath holding there's not breath holding there's everything and they all have a different effect on the physiology hey guys I would like to take a moment to introduce you to our app yoga plus you will have access to an
