In today’s fast-paced world, emotional health challenges such as anxiety, fatigue, and mental overwhelm are increasingly common. While conventional mental health care provides essential support, Ayurveda offers a powerful complementary framework, one that helps cultivate inner steadiness before crisis arises.
This presentation explores the Ayurvedic concept of Sattva, the quality of clarity, peace, and resilience in the mind. Drawing on the ancient science of the Gunas, or attributes, Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, viewers will gain insight into how Ayurveda views mental health not as isolated brain function, but as a holistic state shaped by diet, breath, sleep, and inner awareness.
Through practical tools such as meditation, pranayama (breathwork), yoga nidra, and a Sattvic diet, Ayurveda strengthens emotional regulation, nervous system balance, and cognitive clarity. Supported by emerging research in psychoneuroimmunology and nutritional psychiatry, these ancient practices are both timeless and timely. Whether you're a medical practitioner, wellness facilitator, or someone seeking sustainable ways to enhance emotional wellbeing, this integrative perspective offers practical tools and inspiration for both personal and clinical application.
