Exploring the Four Goals of Life in Vedic Teachings

Vedic teachings are ancient practices that continue to be relevant for modern times. One of the foundational ideas in this philosophy is the concept of the four goals of life known as the Purusharthas. These goals are said to be the guide for spiritual growth and overall fulfillment in life. In this post, we will explore the four Purusharthas and learn about their significance in the pursuit of a…

SUMMER!!!!!!

I love today. It’s Saturday, and normally I’d have faraway thoughts of a timer counting down till Monday morning. Not this weekend! I want to continue to grow and learn this summer, but I’m trying to prioritize, this is hard! I definitely want to work on my Trilogy. I have all three drafted, but the third doesn’t have an ending yet, and all three are pretty much bare bones, but there is a ton…

@mosskiss said: I’m thinking about studying herbal medicine do you have any accessible books you recommend?

Ah sure. Herbalism is both a science and an art. No two herbalists practice in just the same way because the thinking processes & healing philosophies differ from person to person. So, I can recommend a few beginner-friendly books (though some are dense) which I personally found very useful in my own journey.

(Normally, I am primarily a book learner. But, as guided by my herbal coursework, I was encouraged to also learn about the herbs through direct experience and studying a variety of traditions & other herbalists. Herbalism is not properly studied when you just experience it on paper, I realized. So, I would recommend a similar thing for beginners: learn botany, plant identification, forgaging, gardening, medicine making, safety precautions, how to research herbs properly, and different traditional medicine systems [such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani-Tibb, Caribbean Bush Medicine, Western Herbalism, etc. It's especially best to understand how a certain herb was used on the land which it's native to]. Podcasts and articles can be good resources too. Most of all, deeply testing and experiencing herbs one-by-one is crucial in my view).

Sri Vaidya Ayurveda and Naturopathy: A Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness

Ayurveda and Naturopathy are two of the world’s oldest and most comprehensive systems of natural healing. Both focus on the balance of the body, mind, and spirit to achieve overall well-being. Sri Vaidya Ayurveda and Naturopathy, with its dedication to holistic healing, brings together the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the healing principles of Naturopathy to offer a unique, integrative approach to health and wellness.

Understanding Ayurveda and Naturopathy

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, which translates to “the science of life,” is a 5,000-year-old healing system that originated in India. Rooted in the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between mind, body, and spirit, Ayurveda emphasizes prevention and promotes a balance between these elements. The system operates on the belief that the universe is made up of five elements: air, water, fire, earth, and ether. These elements combine in the human body to form three primary life forces or energies, known as doshas: Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (water and earth).

Ayurvedic Hospital in Delhi India Each person’s dosha is unique, and Ayurveda teaches that maintaining harmony between them is the key to health. When one or more of these doshas become imbalanced due to diet, lifestyle, or environmental factors, it results in disease or illness. Ayurvedic treatments, such as herbal medicine, dietary changes, yoga, and meditation, are aimed at restoring this balance and promoting self-healing.

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a system of healing that focuses on natural remedies to help the body heal itself. It promotes lifestyle changes and the use of natural therapies like diet, exercise, and herbal medicine to address health issues. The philosophy of Naturopathy is based on the body’s ability to heal itself, given the right conditions. Rather than simply treating the symptoms of an illness, Naturopathy seeks to address the root cause of health problems by considering the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that may be affecting a person’s well-being.

Ayurvedic Hospital in Delhi India

Naturopathy encourages a healthy lifestyle, stress management, detoxification, and a balanced diet as essential components of health. Therapies such as hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and herbal treatments are often incorporated into naturopathic care to support the body’s natural healing processes.

Sri Vaidya Ayurveda and Naturopathy: The Integration of Two Healing Sciences

Sri Vaidya Ayurveda and Naturopathy aims to combine the best of both Ayurvedic and Naturopathic practices to offer holistic healthcare. This center focuses on treating the individual as a whole, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. By blending Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom with Naturopathy’s modern principles of natural healing, Sri Vaidya offers an effective path to wellness.

Veera's Hair Haven - The Doshas

Hi everyone!

This week, I am grateful to be able to teach you about the hair Doshas! Keep in mind this might be long but packed with useful information!

The Ayurveda, or the Indian health and wellness system believes in the existence of Doshas, which are used to define your hair "type."

Generally they are divided into three Doshas, the first being Vata, the next being Pitta, and finally, Kapha.

Vatta:

Vata-dominant hair often struggles with dryness, frizz, and breakage. It can feel thin and lackluster, and the scalp tends to be sensitive. Gentle care is essential for this hair type.

To nourish and protect your Vata hair, focus on deep hydration and gentle treatments. Regular oiling with coconut or sesame oil can work wonders. Don't forget to pamper your scalp with gentle massages. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat styling to prevent further damage.

For an extra boost, try natural hair masks. Honey and yogurt offer intense hydration, while henna can add strength and shine.

Pitta:

Pitta hair is often characterized by its fine texture and natural shine. However, it can be prone to premature graying, thinning, and oiliness. The scalp tends to be sensitive, reacting easily to harsh products. To maintain its health, balance is key.

Gentle care and cooling treatments are essential for Pitta hair. Look for products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera to calm the scalp.

Kappha:

Kapha hair is often characterized by its thickness and natural body. However, it can also be prone to oiliness, flatness, and dandruff. The scalp tends to be balanced but can become oily over time.

To maintain the health and bounce of Kapha hair, focus on balancing oil production and adding volume. Regular cleansing and lightweight products are essential.

Thats it for this week!

FEEDBACK (was the original title for a writing course I once did. Am reposting because I need to start somewhere but Im cringing but would also sort of appreciate feedback)

Feedback is judgement. Feedback is fear. Feedback is Failure. Feedback is shame. Feedback is the paralysis of all hope. It is the execution of excitement about my stupid doomed dreams. Feedback is the death of me.

Examples of excruciating feedback experiences and endurances that prove my point

Having to do a personality assessment test whilst at college. Answered it honestly, although I had no idea who I was back then…so did I really answer it honestly?. The feedback said that I was either a psychopath or a genius. 

Remembering all the OCD type actions I had to do before lesson observations by senior members of staff whilst I was a teacher. Praying the same prayer over and over in the car until I got to the school. “Please don’t make me fail, please don’t make me fail, please don’t make me fail. Amen’ The exhausting and tortuous repetition of actions that if not done would completely mean crushingly negative feedback. No wonder I was so exhausted post assessment as the adrenalin wore off. 

Feedback from the kids I taught. Their feedback can be the worst. You’re not really a proper person to them if they don’t like you, which in their minds translates to ‘I can destroy you with my actions and my words’.  I don’t hold any ill feeling towards those that did destroy me though. It was all my fault. I can still envisage my voice dissipating into the air as I tried to teach some of them. Like making the motion of speech but with no sound. It was when I realised I was becoming partly invisible

Ofsted inspections for someone like me with serious confidence issues. Utterly terrifying

Deciding to leave teaching ten years ago and witnessing the changing feedback from people as the years have worn on. Initial understanding and sympathy breaking down into seeing you as a life loser as you struggle to find something else to do.

Presentations. Having to do a presentation after ‘Brain Boy’ had done his. Brain boy was the cleverest person on my university course.I wonder what he is doing now? Anyhow he did this amazing, astute, confident presentation… and then it was my turn. Even my best friend who was sat next to me said it was actually painful to endure. I was so shy and nervy, I couldn’t breathe and so couldn’t talk. Looking back I can see that I had a sort of panic attack. Someone should have taken me aside. The feedback was…

A few years later I had to do another presentation. God help me I filled my water bottle with gin and drank it whilst waiting to do my presentation. I honestly can’t say how it went. There was a lot of laughter, that’s all I remember but I also recollect that  the tutor was called out just as I started mine. That had to be divine intervention. Im not sure if anyone could see that I was drinking. How drunk was I? This was probably my worst experience. You’ll never meet me so i can tell you about it. Not many people know about it. I’m too ashamed. Someone should have taken me aside

Being told by your successful Asian father that you are a disappointment as you didn’t become a doctor like him but also being told its ok because you have children and they’re a lot of work.

Trying to become an artist and doing quite well and loving it, although NOT making any money. Feedback from Father: Being asked by your father if you are making any money from doing your art. Giving up on the art.

Trying to learn about Ayurveda at a high level, thinking about practising it. Bemusement from father at ‘you and your ayurveda’. Can feel myself withdrawing from my interest in ayurveda.

My own running commentary feedback on my life. My daily feedback: Middle aged. Getting older. Weak minded. Confused. Really confused. Lost opportunities. Missed opportunities. Unable to focus. Unable to work out what i want to do. Not being able to do what I want to do. Heavy thoughts weighing down my whole body like an anchor at the bottom of the ocean. Full of regrets. Living a fantasy life. Escaping to my fantasy life. Stereotypical middle aged person who will soon be old and covered in dust in the corner of the room and in the corner of people lives. Crying. Staring. Loser. Bored with my own negativity. Wondering if my negativity is a safety blanket keeping me still, unheard, unseen. Wearing more makeup to cover up Wondering if there is a magical solution to life misery

I need a cup of tea now. This is awful. I hope you don’t feel awful. Bet you want to walk away and make tea too now. Sorry

Revisiting the Semen Retention Controversy: Could I Have Been Mistaken?

In a recent article I wrote discussing semen retention, I presented my perspective, grounded in my understanding of contemporary scientific research, on why I believe regular ejaculation is healthy. However, Devi Ward Erickson a friend and reader and person much smarter on the topic has challenged some of the points with an insightful comment that brings forward the richness of Eastern science and the practice's historical roots. I value her knowledge and the depth of her response. I've included her entire unedited comment below for us to explore together.

 Devi’s Comment:

"Let's discuss the 'lie' vs. 'the truth'.

 #1. You say - 'But these claims have no scientific basis whatsoever. Literally pulled out of their ass and sadly not out of their sack.' - This is incorrect. The physiological benefits of semen retention are based on data that has been collated for over 5000 years. It is based in EASTERN science. Eastern science predates Western science by several thousand years.

#2. This is also incorrect - 'Semen retention can lead to a buildup of anxious energy that can’t be released through any other means except ejaculation.' - Orgasm is a release of energy. Orgasm and ejaculation are different functions of the nervous system. This has been documented by both Eastern and Western 'science'.

#3. you say- 'The concept of orgasm without ejaculation, also known as edging.' - This is incorrect. 'Edging' is a practice that may LEAD to non-ejaculatory orgasms. Orgasming without ejaculation is not 'edging'. My husband is not 'edging' when he has multiple non-ejaculatory orgasms while buried balls deep in my vagina. That's not edging. That's called an ORGASM.

#4. 'On a physical level, One study found that men who ejaculated at least 21 times per month were less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who ejaculated less frequently'. This study has been debunked by multiple sources, including the researchers themselves who stated very clearly that the results they were seeing could be attributed to the frequency of sex and healthy relationships, NOT necessarily the ejaculation. And that's only ONE of the caveats the researchers included in the journal.

#5. 90% of folks teaching about SR are uneducated and incorrect. Unfortunately, this article falls in that category. Full of incorrect info coming from uninformed sources. The reason many men believe in and practice SR is because of the benefits they see in their own bodies! Having multiple, non-ejaculatory orgasms while buried balls deep in the orifice of your choice, having total and complete CHOICE about when, how, much, and IF you WANT to ejaculate...THAT is sexual maturity. And that can be achieved through the PRACTICE of semen retention.

The belief that Western science is the only valid form of 'science' and dismissing African, Eastern, and South American wisdom as 'pseudoscience' is deeply racist and rooted in white supremacist ideology which prioritizes the Western European lens as the only valid authority on any given topic. The view that SR is pseudoscience is deeply uninformed, profoundly racist, and dismissive of the embodied wisdom of non-European cultures."

 Exploring further:

This comment is a powerful reminder that wisdom and practices from non-Western cultures have been shaping human understanding for millennia, often in ways that modern science is only beginning to grasp. The critique of my article suggests that there are long-standing traditions and scientific frameworks from Eastern perspectives that support the practice of semen retention and its benefits.

In respect to this viewpoint, I embarked on a quest to explore and verify the claims made. Indeed, Eastern medicine and philosophies such as Taoism and Ayurveda have long espoused various health practices, including those related to sexual energy and semen retention. These are often part of holistic approaches to wellness that consider the balance of physical, mental, and spiritual health. Devi’s expertise is literally in the area of Tantra – hence why I’m sharing.

The notion that orgasm and ejaculation are separate functions is also supported by both ancient texts and some modern sexual health researchers. The practice of achieving orgasm without ejaculation is a part of this understanding, and it's a nuanced distinction from what is commonly referred to as 'edging' in Western discussions of sexual health. Orgasm without ejaculation is something that I’ve talked about in the past and actively practice at times. It’s totally my fault for not including that information to round out the article.

Regarding the claim about semen retention and prostate cancer risk, I did deeper research and found that the study in question does indeed include caveats about its findings, highlighting the complexity of this issue and the need for further research. Adding this to my list common sex health myths to actually solve before I’m dead.

 The conversation isn’t over:

In sharing Devi’s comment, my goal is to open a dialogue that respects and includes diverse perspectives on sexual health. While my original stance was skeptical of semen retention benefits, I acknowledge there is a wealth of knowledge in Eastern science that deserves consideration and a place at the table in these discussions.

You deserve the best information available. I have always sought to find the western equivalent/translation for spiritual/traditional health science because I know there’s value there. Hence why The Butters products are designed in this particular way. It’s also why we’re going back over this topic more richly.

It's essential to approach such debates not as a matter of 'Western' vs. 'Eastern' science, but as an opportunity to integrate diverse insights for a more comprehensive understanding of human health and sexuality. My friend's expertise and experiences offer valuable wisdom, and I am grateful for her contribution to this conversation. As we continue to learn from each other, we can strive for a more inclusive and holistic approach to sexual wellness.
