Meditation

Meditation
is a technique of mind control that often leads to a feeling of inner calm
and peacefulness, and may result in profound experiences of self-realization
and transcendental awareness. Meditation is a discipline found in many of
the world's religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and
Christianity, but it is also advocated by many practitioners of holistic
health for its impact on stress-related disease.
Meditation is the practice by which there is constant observation of the
mind. It means focusing the mind on one point, stilling the mind in order to
perceive the Self. By stopping the waves of thought you come to understand
your true nature and discover the wisdom and tranquility within. In the same
way that focusing the rays of the sun with a magnifying glass makes them hot
enough to burn, so focusing the scattered rays of thought makes the mind
penetrating and powerful. With the continued practice of meditation, you
discover a greater sense of purpose and strength of will and your thinking
becomes clearer and more concentrated, after all you do.

Village

a faithful following around the world. It's aim is to create harmony within,
using combinations of medication, massage, diets and other treatments.
The basic principle of Ayurveda is that illness can be prevented if balance
in body, mind and spirit is maintained. A combination of three principal
energies, or Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) determines what type of body you
have and impacts on your physical and mental wellbeing.
In fact, spend a little time with one of our 'vaidyars', and your entire
view of Spice Village will transform. Suddenly, it's as if you're living in
Nature's own pharmacy. For all over the grounds is the stuff of life and
healing. These carefully labeled medicinal plants can turn your evening
stroll into an education.
