Unfolding Happiness is an in-depth introduction to Ayurveda, Meditation, and Far Eastern cosmology. Millenniums ago, an alternative medical science, based on natural ingredients and healthy eating, emerged in the area, now known as the Indian subcontinent.
This science is Ayurveda, which translates to life-knowledge.
The authors include Ambika Devi, who has 45 years experience as a holistic lifestyle coach using tools from degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbology, Aromatherapy, and a Masters in Yoga and Meditation. She taught holistic health at university level for 21 years, and helped write a key code of ethics in this field.
Co-author, Dr. Vijay Jain, MD, brings his 40 years of experience in general surgery along with 25 years of focused study in Integrative Medicine to his integration of traditional western medicine with ancient Ayurvedic practices. He specializes in Ayurvedic detoxification therapies, and other therapies to help harmonize chronic lifestyle diseases and induce graceful aging.
The ancient healing system of Ayurveda has been passed down through generations to help cure disease. The classics, written in Sanskrit, are considered to be the foundation of this ancient science and are foundational in the development of modern well-known medical systems.
Ayurveda is based on curing disease or disorders from the root level by using the kitchen as your pharmacy. The philosophy embodies a system of five elements and six tastes. Together, these harmonize the body, mind, and spirit thus producing greater happiness and harmony. The three pillars of health according to Ayurveda are: right diet, right lifestyle, and right sleep.
Unfolding Happiness will give you tools to begin your personal transformation by building a strong foundation of knowledge, including heartfelt stories and guidance, which will bring you to a better understanding of what health is through things you can try at home, easy-to-follow instructions, a comprehensive glossary of Sanskrit terms, and a thorough test to identify your unique Ayurveda type.
