 Ayurvedic Tridoshas
The
Tridoshas: What are the Tridoshas? Ayurveda's concept of the
Tridoshas is unique to medical science. Ayurveda says the body is made
up of tissues (dhatus), waste products (malas), and doshas (loosely
translated to Energetic Forces). It is the Tridoshas' job to assist
with the creation of all of the various tissues of the body and to
remove any unnecessary waste products from the body. It is also the
Tridoshas that influence all movements, all transformations, all
sensory functions, and many of the other activities in the human body
and mind. |

 Yoga Backbend What does one achieve by Yoga? In Sanskrit, "Yoga" signifies 'connecting the soul to the Supersoul' (God). Yoga is a process in which the person
clears the negative mental impressions, gets the mind and senses under
control and creates a connection or link with God. In Patanjali Yoga
Sutra, an authentic textbook of Yoga, the definition of Yoga is given
as follows:
Yogash chitt vritti nirodha A simple translation of this verse reads, "the complete stopping of
mundane desires arising in the mind is known as Yoga". The mind is an
ocean of material desires, not only from the present life, but also
from previous lives. |

 Stacey Huddleston Stacey Huddleston AKA
Radhika - This Spring a marvelous fine art show took place in early May. Stacey
Huddleston debuted many pieces of sculpture and painting that she had
been creating in her studio on Ledoux Street. In Taos,
Stacey's friends call her Radhika, a name she was given by a saint in India some years ago, and she uses that name to sign some of her pieces.
To say that
Stacey Huddleston can emerge as one of the important artists of Taos is
easy. Her paintings are both lovely and haunting at the same time. The
theme of many paintings in her 'Love is Blind' series reflect poetic
stanzas to the romantic notion of love. Her color palette is unmatched
and demands a wall in any smartly designed house. Ms. Huddleston's
sculpture is groundbreaking and 'new school' with shape and imagery
that takes the mind into museum collections from ancient cultures. Her
style is not imitatable. Radhika's subject matter is off the
beaten path giving fresh vistas to familiar scenes. |
