The last few decades have seen an increasing interest in yoga not only as a tool for health but also for a deeper understanding of human nature and its complex psychology. Here, we have a first look at the profound effect of yoga on our psychology. But first we need to understand ‘yoga’, its evolutionary potential for the individual and the collective, its scientific nature, above all, its possibility of transforming our human nature.

The Integral Yoga has its own unique way of dealing with anger, as it does for all wrong movements. The ultimate goal is to transform it. The immediate priority in this process, for the sake of our well-being, is to reverse it by staying aligned to the Truth.

This article owes its inspiration to many sources of light. It delineates the importance of a holistic approach to pre-natal care that takes into consideration the wellness of the mother at all levels of her being. Meanwhile, from a psychological viewpoint, it provides a profile of the developing stages in this journey through motherhood and maps a practical pathway of practices that facilitates a mother in her journey of providing optimum care for the holistic development of the child. It advocates an organic within-to-without approach, harnessing the power of aspiration, consciousness and the strength of conscious choices to render the journey a labour of love.

We, as human beings, lead a double existence. We have two lives, so to say. The first one with which we are generally more familiar is the surface life centred on the surface ego-identity.  It is about the job we do and the money we make, the people who are associated with us through birth and other circumstances of our outer existence. This life consists of events and situations that move like shifting scenes, to which we react with pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow and so on and so forth.

The doṣas are the pillars that support the body and, for this reason, their instability leads to the destruction of the body itself. The doṣas are unstable by nature and prone to imbalance. A continuous reconstruction of the body is necessary to keep the doṣas in balance for our health and longevity. Āyurveda makes us recognise the imbalance underlying disease in both early and advanced stages of affliction, helping us to prevent and manage diseases more effectively.
