The author explains the three types of energy (gunas) in the Ayurvedic tradition—sattva (essence), rajas (activity), and tamas (inertia)—and how they influence our emotional patterns, mental habits, and physical health as well as how we can cultivate or suppress each type of energy.

Revealing the far-reaching effects of diet, Johari explores the impact that specific foods have on the body and mind for each Ayurvedic body type as well as the power of fasting. He also explains appropriate yoga and exercise practices for different ages, the healing effects of massage and meditation, the influences of different gemstones on the body and mind, and how sexual energy retention can increase vitality.

Sharing a practical set of principles for daily living based on thousands of years of Ayurvedic science, this guide will help you develop habits for a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.
