Dosha Tests & Beyond

By

For my twenty years of Ayurveda practice I’ve avoided using the “Dosha Tests” with my clients. I could determine their doshas simply through history, symptoms and pulse readings.

I want to spread the word on the usefulness of Ayurveda and so many know so little about it. So, with the help of my tech mentor, Karen at Spiezz Digital, we’ve created a less jargon-y quiz to ease people in.

This fun test is perfect for those just getting interested in Ayurveda and wanting to know more about themselves. Please share it with any such humans (not yet calibrated for wild things, pets, or aliens).

Of course, the test is just a first step into the never-ending story of Ayurveda…after all, the science of Life is as long and varied as Life itself…

The Test: Are You Doing All the Wrong Things for Your Health?

AYURVEDA for LABOR AND BIRTH – interview with Terra Rafael

By

This 1 hour  (MP3) interview by Sarah Lou of BirthWorks with Terra Rafael shares various aspects of Ayurveda teachings supporting healthy labor and birth. Ayurveda focuses not only on the physical but also the energetic aspects of giving birth.

The energies of Nature flow around, within and through us – We are a part of Nature. Ayurveda teaches us how to read the language of Nature so we can work WITH Nature – crucial to giving birth.

Vata Dosha is very instrumental in how things move, how the baby will come out or stay in. We spoke specifically about the Apana Vayu or downward energy of Vata Dosha, which is key to not only labor and birth, but menstrual health, pregnancy health, fetal development, postpartum, and orgasm. Learning about it and how to care for it is crucial to all phases of women’s health!

YOUR FEMALE CYCLES EXPLAINED

By

with Terra Rafael

Women have so many female cycles within their “period” – many not really known to them. We have menstrual, ovarian, hormonal, uterine movement, fertile fluid, and temperature cycles and their components.  All of them interact to create the menstrual-fertility cycle. To have healthy periods and fertility you need all of these cycles to be working well. When some are off, they are symptoms that give us information about where we need to bring balance.

By understanding these cycles YOUR cycles may make more sense and you can take an active role in making your cycles healthier. 11+ minutes that could change your life!
