Enlightened Exercise: Ayurveda, Zone States & Higher Consciousness (#41)
Western exercise = hard work, sweat, discipline (no pain, no gain) Ayurvedic medicine exercise = zone states, finding your dance, balancing your doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and developing higher state of consciousness and growth to enlightenment. While zone or flow states (peak experiences) are random, once in a lifetime events for most people, in Ayurveda these are the very purpose of exercise and can be deliberately cultivated with higher wisdom. Mark outlines his A.B.C of enlightened exercise, including the power of Attention, Yogic nasal Breathing and getting 'into' our Comfort zone (not pushing through it). The result ... the ultimate exercise high.
