The digestion of food and the digestion of life are intimately connected. If we're consuming food and activities that don't have prana or life force, the flow of our energy decreases. For example, if we consume heavily processed food regularly, it will affect our digestion and our mental capacity for life. It becomes a unhealthful cycle.Agni on a cellular level, allows us to process, transform and make good use of what we consume. When we consume things that have life force and sattvic qualities, agni can build tissue, make ojas strong and the mind stable.Join Myra Lewin, Founder of Hale Pule Ayurveda and Yoga, and Ericka, one of our Ayurvedic Health Counselors, as they discuss the important role agni has in maintaining mental health.
