Ayurvedic Guidelines

   Use Ayurveda as a paradigm for processing new information and organizing it for your use. There is so much new information available today on health. 
Remember that "like increases like". Under certain circumstances, "like cures like" but always "like increases like", by the principle of its effect (resonance -vibration).
At the junction of the seasons, air, fire and water are realigning themselves. Pay closer attention to your constitution and its needs at these times. The stronger the seasonal change the greater the effect.
When healing with diet, choose tastes and temperature antagonistic to principle in excess. e.g. To reduce excess Fire eat more bitter tasting and cooler food like salads. Watch for foods that may be aggravating your condition or constitution and eliminate or reduce depending on the severity of the condition. Build up your power of digestion with short fasts, exercise and bitter taste. Lemon water is extremely helpful with meals.
Honour your own and everyone's uniqueness. Each person has a unique connection to the universe.
Disease may be the result of improper adaptation to change. Use dreambody tools to process your changes when ill or preferably before you get ill. Take time to process your feelings when making any major changes. Your body will appreciate and reward you.

See what you are seeing. Hear what you are hearing. Sense what your body is feeling. Pay attention to any movements you are making. Smell what you are smelling and taste what you are tasting.
