Vaidya Mishra's Shaka Vansya Ayurveda

Sleep is that natural state when we let go of waking consciousness in order to allow the physiology to replenish in rest from a full day’s activity. Modern science confirms that the human brain is rested only during two states – a) sleep and, b) meditation.

During the day, we tend to be highly active, and for that the brain requires high amounts of energy in order to process all our activities.  Scientific findings conclude that the brain needs about 120g of glucose every day (approximately 25% of the energy requirement of a normal resting adult).

In addition to energy supplied through diet, the brain needs regular periods of deep rest in order to cope with the stress accumulated in the nervous system.  Lack of good sleep, together with a lack of good nutrition for the brain and a high-stress lifestyle can create hormonal imbalance, growth hormone imbalance, and premature aging, among other problems.

Of the three main pillars of total health (ahara - right choice of food; nidra – restful sleep; bramacharya – good code of conduct, routine and behavior), the Ayurvedic shastras (ancient texts) name sleep as the second most important aspect.

Vaidya Mishra will elaborate on this second most important pillar of life mentioned in the Vedas – the necessity of “Restful/Blissful Sleep” for good overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual).
