MAPI News - Spring 2008

Message from Ted Wallace, President, MAPI

It is a remarkable time for the world.

We are living in a time where the knowledge of perfect health, which gives the ability to live without suffering, is available to every human being on the planet.

This monthly E-newsletter is designed to support your desire for more information on perfect health, delivering the latest news about the effective, ancient, fascinating system of natural medicine - Maharishi Ayurveda®.

Maharishi Ayurveda is powerful because it works at the deepest level of life. It recognizes and utilizes the balancing, healing influence of the quietest level of consciousness, and the laws of Nature that administer all the body's functions.

Sleep Solutions

This article was authored by Vaidya Manohar Palakuthi, the in-residence Vaidya, an extensively trained Maharishi Ayurveda© expert, at The Raj Maharishi Ayurveda Spa, in Fairfield, Iowa.

The ancient text of Ayurveda the Charaka Samhita states:

"When the mind withdraws from its activities, then the individual sleeps. Proper sleep causes happiness, nourishment, strength, potency, knowledge and life. Improper sleep brings misery, emaciation, weakness, sterility, ignorance, and death."

Maharishi Ayurveda distinguishes 3 types of sleep imbalance and offers immediate steps to support relief.

My Vedic Kitchen

Ever wondered where to get all the"fiber" that everyone keeps talking about in your daily diet? Dals.

Did you know there are over 50 different kinds of dal or beans commonly used in India? Coupled with a grain, they are the staple diet of most Indians.

Dals or beans are an excellent source of fiber and they are low in fat. They also have good amounts of protein, iron and B vitamins. Here are the basics for preparing delicious dals.

Raam Raj Organic Clothing

According to Maharishi Ayurveda©, the physiology can be transformed through any of the five senses, with touch being the most powerful sense. (Sight is a close second.)

The proper fabric helps the skin - which is the largest organ in the body - as well as the blood. Fabric, according to Maharishi Ayurveda©, also aids purification. Vaidya Manohar explains it this way: "All qualities get nourished and transformed through the skin."

Maharishi Ayurveda recognizes this important property of skin.

This places a unique significance on clothing. In Ayurveda, clothing effects not only health but higher states of consciousness.

In Maharishi Ayurveda, the skin is considered the largest organ of the body. Because it is also a porous surface, it acts as a highly efficient transport mechanism carrying herbs and the influences of the senses' experiences to the deepest levels of tissue.

MAPI's growing line of organic clothing reflects our commitment to pure clothing products that deliver both attractive styles, certified organic growing methods and a recognition of the deeper effects of textiles from an Ayurvedic viewpoint.

This article was prepared in cooperation with Vaidya Manohar Palakuthi - the resident Maharishi Ayurvedic Expert - along with patient educator Mark Toomey at The Raj Ayurvedic Resort and Spa in Fairfield, Iowa.

Every day, our call centers get questions. We pick the best, most frequently asked questions and share them here.

Question: How does Maharishi Ayurveda© treat weight gain and obesity?

In Maharishi Ayurveda, one size does not fit all. Each physical constitution is assessed for its unique special strengths and weaknesses - as a unique individual mind-body structure.
