'Sleep Equity for Global Health'
"As I drift back into sleep, I can't help thinking that it's a wonderful thing to be right about the world. To weigh the evidence, always incomplete, and correctly intuit the whole, to see the world in a grain of sand, to recognize its beauty, its simplicity, its truth. It's as close as we get to God in this life, and reside in the glow of such brief flashes of understanding, fully awake, sometimes for two or three seconds, at peace with our existence. And then back to sleep we go" ~ Richard Russo
✨️ Beauty of The Love Energy ~ Love Powered by Flower Remedies ~ Clinical Aromatherapy and an Ayurvedic Perspective
The highest form of energy on this planet is love. All energy vibrates at different levels, but love vibrates at the highest frequency. In our daily lives, we often forget to pay attention to our surroundings, but if we stop what we are doing for just a moment, we can feel the energy of love all around us.
Recognising the Purest and Strongest form of Love ~ Appreciation is the purest and strongest form of love. It is the outward-bound kind of love that asks for nothing and gives everything.
The Spirit of True Love
“It is a love that is beyond the physical, and it is a love that is spiritual. It is a love that is eternal.” To love without condition, to talk without intention, to give without reason, care without expectation, that is the spirit of true love.”
Yogic philosophy and ancient scripture tell us that love is the reflection of the Supreme Consciousness that is present in everybody and everything, every single particle on this planet. When we're able to recognize love in this way, suddenly, we can see love everywhere.
It is a feeling of warmth, comfort, and joy that emanates from the heart. Love energy can be harnessed through meditation, prayer, or spending time with loved ones, pets, and nature. It brings with it physical and emotional sensations that are hard to describe but are recognizable once you experience them.
Three Energies of Ayurveda
Ayurveda identifies three basic types of energy or functional principles that are present in every element on Earth, be it living or non living which are more commonly known as the Sanskrit words ~ Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Each of these functional principles have unique qualities about them. A complex melody of attributes in how they are defined yet very simple to understand once broken down.
The Elixir of Life ~ Ojas translated into Vigor essentially the Life Force described in Ayurvedic text, is what governs the quality of life and being.
Ojas is not a physical substance, but the sap of our life energy that exists on a subtle level in the body.” Ojas, described as our life force, is an elusive substance said to give vitality and strength.
Let us examine the movement of Ojas within the body understanding the flow of Ojas and the Deepest Principle of Immunity.
It passes through the heart, circulates around the body and maintains the natural resistance of all tissues.
At a deeper level, it is responsible for nourishing the development of all higher faculties. Ojas is also our latent creative potential, a storehouse of creative energy. It brings patience, consistency, and steadiness to the mind and promotes feelings of peace, love, calm, and contentment. Heart health, the capacity to give and receive love and compassion.
Ojas is created through a process much like a sophisticated irrigation system. Nutrients from food are used to form the 7 major tissues of the body and this culminates in the production of ojas, which is then stored in the heart. Containing numerous hormones, therefore ojas maintains hormonal balance. If the flow of ojas around the body is hindered, the body is considerably weakened. Ayurveda explains that Ojas is the source of all life and when it is depleted life ends.
The Ojas force originates from our heart and invigorates energy throughout the body to boost immunity. Ojas improves physical strength, dermal glow, immunity, thereby managing good hormonal, digestion, and cerebrospinal fluid function.
Rebuilding and Maintaining Good quality Oja's Energy. Ojas the refined substance is produced after digestion, once all seven dhatus (the tissues responsible for the functioning of the systems and organs of the body) are fed and nourished. Classical Ayurvedic texts state that it takes between 27–30 days to build ojas.
Boosting immunity is a key factor and requirement of today's world. The factors responsible for immunity are receiving importance. Ojas is one of the key factors responsible for immunity. Ojas connects the mind to the body and consciousness.
It nourishes all body tissues influencing the physical, psychological and emotional life of a person directly.
The further scope of the study includes the pre-clinical and clinical trials. So, an attempt is made to study Ojas and Ojovaha Srotas in detail including its formation, primary seat, types, perception of Ojas.
We see the effects of reported decline in health Post Coronavirus. We also view complex, rare and common blood disorders. The effects of auto immune dis-ease, genetic, newly discovered or triggered and undiagnosed has never been greater than we see today.

‘Mental Health is a Universal Human Right’
Theme set by World Foundation of Mental Health 2023
Let us explore this theme...
We reflect upon the cycles of nature and merely if just connecting to nature, capturing its beauty, holding in stillness, the True Nature of the Self (Prakriti) material nature in its germinal state, eternal and beyond perception, connects one to source in any way individual to the self.
We tap into the innate wisdom and divine intelligence to overcome trials and tribulations, ebbs and flows of life, but holding onto to the constant thought learnt from nature. Ride with the wave of change...
.. For even from the darkest of clouds, light will prevail ...
Holding Light in the Mind is often difficult for many and it is in these moments, we hold on to Light in the Heart.
'The path of freeing the heart from the effects of a fearful mind is an initiation into great power. So many lapses will happen before the heart grows strong enough to overpower old patterns and surrender without condition or equivocation. When it is ready to surrender in such a way, the heart is free and allowed to simply be. Even the mind then, finally freed from shackles and joyfully submitting to love, declares, “Let love be, in whatever way it shall be. I can bear it. I shall take refuge in it. I shall not turn away from it. I am that love!”

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam translates from Sanskrit ~ "One Earth, One Family, One Future"
International Day of Yoga by resolution officially by the United Nations in promotion of global health, harmony and peace symbolizing Unity Conciousness.
Marking a day for yogic practice, bringing awareness to the self ~ one fundamental basis of any practice requires breathwork.
Breathe of Life, usually does not require any thought as it is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, this is a simple response that one can bring focus upon to engage in yogic practice.
A dominant functioning parasympathetic nervous system slows down your breathing rate, which guides your body into a state of calm and healing ~ A feeling of Liberation.
Prānāyāma is the yogic practice of focusing on breath. In Sanskrit, prāṇa means "vital life force", and yāma means to gain control. In yoga, breath is associated with prāṇa, thus, pranayama is a means to elevate the prāṇa ṣakti, or life energies.
Paying attention to breathing patterns has the effect of keeping us constantly in the present moment. The past and present melt away when the mind becomes focused on breathing. Exercises in breath control, such as breath retention and deliberate methods of inhalation and exhalation for specific mental and physical benefits are at the core of Prānāyāma practice.
The goal of pranayama is to strengthen the connection between your body and mind. According to research, Prānāyāma can promote relaxation and mindfulness. It is also proven to support multiple aspects of physical health, including lung and heart function, blood pressure, and brain function.

Anxiety through The Window on the World
Find your Inner Balance ✨️
This years theme by the Mental Health Foundation ~ is Anxiety
We recognise the vital aspects to counteract this feeling by honing in on the journey of the self. Time to focus and reflect on the inner being through attention and intention to bring back wholeness to one.
Common anxiety signs and symptoms include:
• Feeling nervous, restless or tense
• Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
• Having an increased heart rate
• Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)
• Sweating
• Trembling
• Feeling weak or tired
• Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
How do we support and combat this feeling of anxiety?
There are various methods to assist with anxiety and Pranayama the practice of breath regulation being a main component of yoga, and exercise for physical and mental wellness is incredibly effective.
In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy and “yama” means control. The practice of pranayama involves breathing exercises and patterns.
Research has also shown that certain essential oils produce an anxiolytic, anxiety-reducing effect, which increase the body's production of serotonin. These oils include clary sage, lavender, sweet orange, rose and frankincense to name a few.
Royal Amber is highly effective in treatment.

Honour in Remembering The Poppy Flower
Most impressive about The Poppy is the longevity of the seed, surviving more than 8 years in soil.
The Poppy has long been associated with Renewal and Resilience. As far back as the Egyptians, The Poppy symbolized Rebirth because of its ability to be “Reborn” after the harvest season✨️
'Of all the wonderful things in the wonderful universe of God, nothing seems to me more surprising than the planting of a seed in the blank earth and the result thereof. Take that Poppy seed, for instance, it lies in your palm, the merest atom of matter, hardly visible, a speck, a pin's point in bulk, but within it is imprisoned a spirit of beauty ineffable, which will break its bonds and emerge from the dark ground and blossom in a splendor so dazzling as to baffle all powers of description' ~ Celia Thaxter
