Ayurveda and the Mind: The Healing of Consciousness

I really enjoy this author’s writing, and this particular book was a beautiful augmentation into my Ayurveda studies. I’m very grateful that I bought this because it’s been an eye-opener into many aspects of meditation that I never would have associated with the study of Ayurveda.

I love how completely understandable and well written this book is! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand Ayurveda more completely. Of all my books on the subject, this is my favorite for understanding how the mind interacts with the physical.

This work by Dr. Frawley is not one that you can blaze through from cover to cover, or even expect to absorb in a single reading. I found that having a basic background in yoga and ayurveda prior to reading this book, where these principles are expanded to the psychology of the mind and consciousness, was very helpful. I found that "Ayurveda: A life of Balance" by Maya Tiwari was an excellent primer. A highly recommend "Ayurveda and the Mind" for those who want to continue along the path of mindful consciousness...you will need to think, experience, and study this material (meditation was helpful as well), but the reward is worth the effort!

I haven’t read it yet, but book was dirty and and cover was torn.

Insightful and clearly written book of the levels of mind. Great book for both those new in and for those familiar with Ayurveda. It's also useful for those interested in the Yogic philosophy and psychology. I love all the books by Dr. David Frawley, and this is one of those great books. It accompanies well with his other book on the subject "Yoga and Ayurveda - Self-healing and Self-realization". I would definitely recommend reading these both. These books are worthy of reading for both yogic and ayurvedic practitioners.

Loved this book. Loved to learn new concepts

I almost read this whole book, and I love it! Dr. Frawley does an amazing job at describing Ayurveda and how it relates specifically to the mind. I have read a few of his other books, and I am really glad that I bought this book because it has given me a much bigger picture of the self-healing techniques in Ayurveda such as mantra, meditation, the right intake of impressions, gems, and many other things. Anyone who wants to be happier and healthier in a natural way should read this book! :)

Excellent in-depth look at Ayurveda and good insight into meditation levels and the yoga sutra. I am joyed this book thoroughly and will use it frequently in my future wellness practice.
