Unlike modern psychological science, which until recently opposed the body and the mind, Ayurvedic psychology unconditionally recognizes that the body and the mind are one. The mind is the realm of ideas, the body is the realm of molecules, but both are interconnected expressions of a single consciousness.
This book will be a valuable guide for those studying Ayurveda, yoga, tantra, and psychology. Clearly and consistently presenting the Vedic concept of consciousness and its manifestations, Dr. Frawley formulates a simple yet quite thorough approach to healing psychological issues, including emotional ones.
This book reminds us that the mind is a subtle organ, the health of which is determined by its ability to receive nourishment from the environment. To achieve true emotional and spiritual freedom, it is necessary to cleanse the mental and emotional layers of the mind from accumulated toxins - emotional traumas, frustrations, disappointments, misconceptions.
