How Ayurveda Changes My Life
I have always had the feeling that life could be more than it was. That feeling could sometimes make me feel lonely or empty, and sometimes make me squirm like I was trapped inside a too tight sweater, fighting for my freedom trying to get out without finding the way. Although I had been searching my whole life, I did not feel seen or truly at home anywhere, especially not in my body.
.
When I saw Umā, I instantly knew that she had wisdom I longed for. She was this fascinating combination of the strongest force of nature, yet the purest love. In her I saw the balance, peace AND power that I hardly believed one person could possess.
.
Umā and I started having Ayurveda-based talks about me as a person, my body, my mind, my feelings. Every situation I described and every question I had she could tie together with the “puzzle” of my Ayurvedic constitution. It was such a huge relief to get it all explained in a way that I could make sense of, and that did not make me feel like there was anything wrong with me. I got many, many tips and insights of how I could go with nature instead of against it.
.
Back home in my everyday life everything started to shift for the better. My feelings, my clarity, my life purpose, my self-image, my relationships – everything. Today, three years after my first encounter with Umā and Ayurveda, so much has changed that I would not have believed her if she would have told me back then that this could be my life.
.
Now I actually feel like I too am that combination of a force of nature and the purest love that I saw in her. I have all that I dreamt of now. In my relationships I get showered with love, in my work life I now am asked to guide clients through exactly what I love working with, with my horses I now can communicate by pure thought and most importantly, my body now feels like the safest and most pleasurable place on earth to be in.
.
I wish everyone knew how effortlessly one can create and have it all, once we are going with nature.
