Ojas is considered in Ayurveda to be the finest substance in the human body. It exists at the boundary between body and consciousness, acting like the “light in the door” that connects the two. Ojas allows the body’s inner intelligence to flow freely and nourishes all organs and tissues at a deep level. It provides strength, joy, beauty, and resistance to disease. When I take a pulse, I can sense ojas as a flow of bubbling deep bliss in positive individuals with high levels of consciousness.
To increase ojas in your body and life, consider the following suggestions:
- Develop your consciousness through yoga and meditation.
- Avoid stress, as well as drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
- Ensure you get enough sleep.
- Eat fresh, healthy food, and always enjoy your meals in peace and quiet, without distractions. Savour your food!
- Cultivate a positive attitude. Spread love and joy, and focus on the good in others. Speak kindly, read poetry, and sing to yourself or with others.
- Don’t take yourself too seriously. Laugh, play, and live in a way that brings you genuine enjoyment.
Good luck!.
