Modern psychology groups people into two groups optimists or pessimists and say that optimists tend to be happier than pessimists.

What happens as we grow up?

By |2019-08-20T15:43:11+01:00August 20th, 2019|Ageing, Children's Health, Maharishi Ayurveda Blogs, Mental Health, Teenage Health, Women's Health|

The ancient Ayurvedic texts describe aging as a natural process whose effects can be reduced through the taking of rasayana - special formulas like the powerful Maharishi Amrit Kalash, along with a good daily routine. It surprised me to learn that Ayurveda also suggests a healthy life expectancy for this age to be 120 years!

Are you thriving or surviving? "I used to really push myself with 7 day weeks and no real downtime. It wasn't long before the crunch came.
