I’m a strong believer in the “rest” aspect of ayurvedic medicine!

I took the blogthings quiz and it said I’m Vata dominant- at least based on the 8 questions they asked.
I think anything we can all get our hands/minds/ spirits on that makes us focus on balance in our lives can only be a good thing. Everything in moderation=balance.

I think learning about our chakras will be well worth it when 2012 rolls around!

David Wilcock has a nice free mp3 here (direct link to the mp3) that talks about 2012 and new agey goodness!

Liv, I only call it voodoo to give off the impression that I take it all very lightly. “Voodoo” (for me, anyway) is a positive term; it’s most often used in the terms “mommy voodoo,” which is that special kind of magic that only we mommies have, or “kitchen voodoo,” which is whatever magic a cook can work to turn that yucky slab of raw chicken into yummy dinner. Get it?

Rosie, I’m a magpie, too! I WILL NOT buy into anything that requires me to relinquish my feelings or my intuition - the fastest way to put me off is to tell me that THIS is the way - and the ONLY way - that will set everyone free. There IS no one way, and we’d be a lot healthier and happier if we could just start to even THINK about accepting that as truth.

Mrs. G., I would if I could. I have a bit too much, I think, and I’d gladly share if I could figure out how to package it for delivery…

any system that makes you think about how to balance your life and health has to be interesting…even if only because it makes you think…and especially something which has endured for so long. I am a sceptic with magpie tendencies, happy to take a bit of this that and the other from here there and everywhere as long as it works and I dont have to buy into an unquestioning belief system.

hmmm… i don’t go as far as to think of it as voodoo. i think of all of this as more traditional, eastern ways of explaining that which was inexplicable in many ways. i’m curmudgeonly this morning. ask me later.

I think that the questions I got in YNG didn’t ask enough of the right questions. According to the ayurvedic tradition, I’d HAVE to have some vata - which is responsible for movement - or I’d not be breathing, circulating or, you know, peeing…

Having NONE of one of those things is sort of a bad sign, though, isn’t it? If balance is the goal, right? I only got the one I was most of, I didn’t have an option to see how much of the others I had bits of.

Stupid balance. Freaking impossible.
