Sattva is a word from the ancient Sanskrit language of India. It is derived from the root word “Sat” which is defined as the ideal; the pure and true essence. Sattva embodies the qualities of purity, clarity, deep peace and contentment. It is the full expression of connection with Self. Individuals who are of a healthy, peaceful existence are said to be living a sattvic lifestyle.

At Sattva Health and Wellness you can follow your unique path toward optimal health in body, mind and soul through Ayurveda, one of the most successfully practiced holistic health care systems in the world today. Ayurveda shares wisdom about how to deeply know oneself and make daily choices that support your unique constitution and alleviate current imbalances. Ayurvedic principles apply to anyone of any age. Whether you are interested in aging well and seeking new ways of prevention, or if your quality of life has been impacted by unresolved symptoms or an unexpected diagnosis, please call or e-mail to inquire how ayurveda can help. There is always hope, and there are many ways to help improve how you feel while creating a full, rich, satisfying life!

 

Sandra Maguire, Kripalu Certified Ayurvedic Consultant, will assist you in deepening your understanding of your constitution and share an ayurvedic perspective on the current symptoms or imbalances that are calling for your attention. She will guide you through simple dietary, lifestyle and daily routine adjustments that can support enhanced clarity of the mind while nourishing and nurturing the body. Your ayurvedic wellness plan can also include the exploration of self-inquiry, mindfulness and meditation practice, yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises), aromatherapy, massage therapy, organic herbs and spices, and other natural ways of supporting you on your personal path of health and healing.

 

Ayurveda offers insight into how to live in harmony with the laws of nature and the rhythms and cycles of life. It helps us understand how to align our internal environment with our external environment. Why is this important? Imagine knowing how to make daily choices that inspire well-being in each day, season and time of your life. By understanding "who you are" (your constitution), and by making educated choices about the food you eat and activities you engage in, you can feel healthy, balanced and grounded amidst life's many changes and challenges.

 

Some ayurvedic terminology might be new to you, but the concepts are logical and steeped in 5,000 years of ancient knowledge. Ayurveda resonates deeply with the heart of us that intuitively knows there is a natural, easier way of being in a sometimes complicated world.  If you are called to reconnect with that wisdom that already exists within you, call or e-mail Sandra to inquire.
