Ojas

Our Aura is the barrier that protects us from negativity, and as such is the basis of our immune system.

Key concepts:
Ojas is closely tied to the Kapha dosha, so when the kapha dosha is out of balance, the body is more susceptible to immune issues. When Ojas is compromised, it is let capable to defend against the body’s internal toxins, or Amas. Once this is the case, a plethora of ailments may arise. The stronger the Ojas, the stronger the body.

How to strengthen the Ojas:
Meditation, a short daily practice can go a long way 
Mindfulness, one’s level of conscious living
Proper diet, nutrition is paramount in Ayurveda
Managed emotions, hormones can wreak havoc in the system
Herbal therapy, introducing organic herbs can help strengthen the system
Sense of well-being, living with inner peace and harmony encourages a healthy body

Detriments to Ojas:
Negative emotions, hormones impact digestive health and all facets of the body
Stress, daily life stressors must be managed as we go
Excessive physical activity, everything in moderation is key
Excessive fasting, depriving the body of nutrients
Mismanaged lifestyle

Auras are all about energetic boundaries. Strengthening it will help create an energetic mote between you and the rest of the world. Choose a lifestyle that encourages a radiant aura.
