comfort zone knowing that is where true growth begins! James Clear writes extensively about habits. This is a quote from one of his writings. Journalist and author, Gail Sheehy, on growth: “If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean a giving up of familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost their meaning. As Dostoevsky put it, “Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.” The real fear should be of the opposite course.” Source: Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life Such sage advice! Are we growing or are we afraid of taking the next step? Alrighty now. Let's dig into some Ayurveda goodness! One of the reasons I am so obsessed with Ayurveda is it looks at dis-Ease from a totally different perspective than Western medicine. Ayurveda says there are 9 stages of dis-Ease. You know when the body is out of balance. The first 2 don’t typically show signs but you know something is just off... 3rd&4th stages you have symptoms, but Western

medicine can’t diagnose them. 5th&6th stages the disease is recognizable. By the time
your body is in 7th-9th stages you’re Sick and in serious pain. Ayurveda helps you get
back in touch with your body so you realize when you’re the least bit of of balance
(stage1-3) and gives you the tools to get back to homeostasis.
So let me walk you through the nine stages. (This information comes from Healing with
Ayurveda by Marianne Teitelbaum, D.C.)
1. Accumulation- you are hungry, so you eat to satisfy the accumulation of the
pitta dosha.
2. Aggravation- if you don't eat, the elevated dosha becomes aggravated. If
you eat it can pacify your this dosha.
3. Spread-if you fail to eat, the elevated pitta (skipping or not eating on a
regular schedule so your digestive juices can do their jobs) the aggravation
spreads throughout the body into the tissues and the waste. This is where
the wind (Vata) is blowing the fire (Pitta).
4. Deposition of toxins-the pitta imbalance contains toxins and are deposited in
the tissues. This is when you start to manifest symptoms, heartburn, burning
when urinating, or rectal itching...URGH
5. Manifestation-This is when the body starts to really tell you there is an issue.
The physical channels, cells, tissues, muscles are blocked from the flow,
transformation, and "delivery of prana."
6. Differentiation of Disease-or you feel the crisis you are in! The organs and
systems are aggravated and you have major symptoms! If the pitta is a part
of it (it usually is so the stomach is out of balance. You may have gastric
ulcers, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or even heavy bleeding. WAKE UP!
CALL! Or worse--a BOWEL BLOCKAGE!
7. Stages 7-9 Deformity, final stages of disease, symptoms, and major
complications- This is where you are finally diagnosed in Western Medicine.
YOU HAVE DIABETES, CANCER, or AUTOIMMUNE! Or you need your
prostate, gallbladder, or thyroid removed...

We could have have prevented all of this!
What are the imbalances you are experiencing? Let's talk poop, pee, and sweat... More
on that tomorrow. Start paying attention to how you feel and to the process of
elimination.
For today what is the ONE thing you can do to improve your health?
OMG I love this stuff so much! It will heal your body if you lean in and listen.
We have a call today at 2:00! I hope you will join me. I will record it and send it out later.
Bring your questions and concerns. This is all about YOU!

Namaste,
Jen
