Ayurveda for Your Digestion

With Mary Thompson/Mahavidya

Good digestion is key to your health. If you know and follow the rules of keeping your agni (digestive fire) strong, you will be happy and healthy, and enjoy the benefits of a good immune system. Agni is a fire that needs adequate fuel. Eating heavy foods and overeating are like putting wet wood or too much wood on the fire. It will be extinguished. If your agni is strong, you will feel light, nourished and clear after a meal, and have no fatigue, heaviness, fullness, or indigestion.Eat mindfully, and then tune to the subtle stages of the process and avoid interrupting the digestive cycle.
