director at the mindful connection institute in princeton and a director at the i have a tic indian psychology research center at the world institute for scientific exploration how much do you know about our veda today we're going to cover some basic principles that can be life changing for you our guest will help you identify your dosha which in english means body type and once you know your body type you can eat according to that and you can also learn how to prevent disease so please join me in welcoming carlo very interested in everything related to human consciousness since a very young age i had some spiritual experiences from that that formed my deconstruct those mechanisms that that creates suffering ok wow interesting so can you just give us a brief overview on what i have a to actually is for viewers who perhaps never heard of it or even for viewers who know what it is like maybe you learn to connect with yourself you learn about lifestyle you learn about what things to eat and not to eat so you you balance your more for preventing disease or both and both both ok so as a as a form of healing there is a whole health care system called i had a beta with a different branches including internal for the last i want to say you know ten years or so and it's definitely good for sure in preventing disease once you're living in balance and it's i mean there's nothing like it here so can you talk more about what the doses are because everybody i think once people know their doses like i mentioned they can really live in harmony with you know what you're talking about the mind body connection because in western medicine they say one size fits all or conventional medicine but in i are data it's not the case so what exactly are dose as and how do we identify them space and movement you know physically it relates to the circulation to movement within our body the space within our body for instance in our stomach or in vata and if i buy a tie then i have to balance my dosha by you know if there's a lot of air and maybe trying to say that i'm prone to things like that i should balance that with with more oil and more more grounding foods out right or or what's the when we go to diet diet but is our emotions in the mind ok so you're talking about the doses from a mind perspective or an emotional body perspective as opposed to the physical in the food because you think it's easier to just heal through food or is i and the cycle physical actions that the company of those ok so for instance if you if you feel fear that with your body does not feel relaxed you feel tense yeah yeah so there is a contraction th physical action so these actions actually disturb the door shut how can you what are some of the preventative measures i have ada advocates for to prevent disease ok do your meditation and so meditation is very grounding for the vita dosha yes ok yeah i try to do my meditation and i feel when i had when i don't do it or if i don't have time i don't feel the same grounding and certainly  quality the meditation is guided in a different way but you learn how to connect with with what you feel with your own body to learn to recognise your your different emotions how they express physically and you learn to deconstruct those you learn to integrate those ok wow so it's kind of like accepting everything and not not resisting you're allowing everything to flow through your emotions yes whether they're good or bad y had so you know again back to western or conventional medicine where if somebody sick and they might say well you need to eat more you know for example an apple an apple a day keeps the doctor away back to that old phrase but about an hour veda when it just be that sort of dose as my circulation and cut for less so this is all really important to know when you know you know ali when you have disease but preventing it but if you are sick and you go to the doctor you should really know what what you are you know what your body type is in order to know how to medicate that even with conventional medicine if you have to take some western medicine right you should know what kind of medicine should take based on your dosha so i correct conventional medicine doesn't work  orderly skim one so it is not not absorbed as easily ok and people do this once a year i actually did this before but my think i did a different format of it where i was given things to drink and that is also part of  most the destination for point to go to my is with the times a couple of carolina south south of india but you can do there are clinics here in the united states that yeah that do this as well ok and you mentioned vital points what are the vital points in the body perspective we know that people do not learn how to discern they are only in their experiences so as children we we have these painful experiences we develop all kinds of patterns habit patterns strategies to to cope with but these these strategies are based on fear on sadness feeling victimized or rejection disassociation  and because of that our inner experiences are not fully processed so when we feel sad during a longer period of time and we  information yes what a powerful thought all right well on that note so you have a five minute interactive exercise you want to try for the audience so stay tuned everybody carlo is going to show you how to do something i'll let you take it from close your eyes and feel how you're sitting on the chair sense first the left than the right side of the body sense whether you can connect with your body on both sides or if one side feels more suppressed less less present so feel these different properties are both sides of the body can i connect with them do they feel present is one more present at the other tension contraction tightness tightness that i feel in my body here in this location of my body you can softly touch that area with your hand like knowledge what you feel me present to the discomfort to make the child feel more comfortable likewise heal yourself that part of yourself that that is afraid that feels fear that responds from fear my contracting and embrace that part developing a sense of intimacy towards that part that feels afraid and feeling tension doesn't mean that you're afraid of something outside it is how your body responds to different situations it may be deadline that may be an exam and just feel how your body responds to visualiz and knowledge what you feel likewise for the burning sensation of knowledge it does i feel sad and it burns in my body in this and this location touch it and your eyes and i had this dimension of sight be with yourself you don't have to switch off this awareness of your body  be present to your body even while communicating with others how do you feel how do you sense doesn't just feel much better more relaxing when you get in touch with these negative emotions expressing in your body may tend to be resolved more quickly thank you for your attention thank you that was wonderful and i think that's very good to meditate on daily because we tend to accumulate more of this debris and talks again or gee just for my daily interaction so this could be something good to do every night before you go to bed close your eyes and visualize or remember what to do with what did i do during the day to being more in tune with yourself with and you're like you said the mind body connection and the opening of the show and kind of absorbing that and you know and  try to practice
