Yoga & Ayurveda: Emotional Wellness w/ Arun Deva
How do we understand the emotional body?
In Ayurveda the mind begins in the heart, reaches downwards into the gut and upwards into the brain. The connections are easy to see as seats of feelings, instincts and sensation/thought. All our instincts and our rational thinking revolve around the mediating emotional state. In Vedic terms this is described as rasāvāda: the revealing of our Essence.
