Ep. 5 | Finding Balance in Nature and in Ourselves
“By applying this golden principle — that like increases like and opposites reduce — we can create more balance and more harmony within ourselves.”
Balance: we all strive for it but what does it really mean? In the Ayurvedic tradition, balance comes from being in sync with nature, and from being in balance within ourselves. This week on The Healing Catalyst, Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh takes you through the different qualities in Ayurveda and talks about how you can find that elusive balance. And for more tips, pick up a copy of her newly released book, The Health Catalyst.

The word “balance” means very different things in Western society versus that of Ayurveda. In the West we talk about balance in terms of our roles and responsibilities. In Ayurveda, balance is about being in sync with nature and being in balance within ourselves. On today’s episode of The Healing Catalyst, Dr. Kumar-Singh discusses what balance looks like in the Ayurvedic tradition and how different qualities come into play. She also has a new tool for you to add to your healing toolkit: morning pages.
