OIL THERAPIES FOR MENTAL AND BODY REJUVENATION BEFORE PREGNANCY

IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL REJUVENATION/PURIFICATION AND CLEANSING OF BODY BEFORE ANY PREGNANCY TAKES PLACE.

Mental rejuvenation must follow mental purification for conception. Mental rejuvenation can be accomplished through the use of oil therapies, such as SHIRODHARA or ABHYANGA. Abhyanga is considered an important act of self-love, as it rebuilds ojas in the mind. Ayurveda advises mental purification and rejuvenation as part of the healing process. Purifying the mind through periods of silence and a lack of sensory stimulation helps support healing. Meditation and shirodhara can help produce inner silence, while NASYA supports mental purification.

Avoid any disruption in the aura allowing the entrance of a negative astral force before pregnancy. Emotional cleansing, mantra, pranayama, and meditation are viewed as important methods to counter this disruption for conception.

Ayurveda Oil Therapies are considered helpful to balance the aura and protect the life.

Chanting Mantras are excellent for opening up the aura and clearing the psychic air. The mantras are best to give protection and bring down the Divine healing force. They are very effective for casting out negative life-energies.

Yoga asanas reduce tension and inner restrictions that may be blocking the healing process.
• Visualization is the process of engaging the imagination in the process of healing. By visualizing a positive outcome, the chances of survival and healing are noted to increase.
• Sattvic practices are considered important for keeping the mind clear and supporting the healing process. Sattvic practices assist in the healing of karma.

If you are planning for pregnancy digestion is very important part. According to Ayurveda, a healthy digestive system supports the healing of all tissues of the body. The digestive system is managed though the removal of ama, proper diet and herbs, herbal medicines as well as vamana, virechana and basti applied appropriately with due regard for prakruti and vikruti.

To prevent further accumulation of ama in the colon, an Ayurvedic regimen for the maintenance of agni, the digestive fire, would be followed.

DAILY ROUTINES AND PRACTICES

The ancient Vedic practioners are adamant about implementing more sattvic routines and rituals in daily life. The Sushruta claims: “Those women who are devout in their worship of the gods and the Brahmins and cherish a clean soul in a clean body during pregnancy are sure to be blest with good, virtuous and generous children. 

Today, we may not be as devout in our thinking, but promoting and conducting practices that support spiritual growth, keep the body clean and healthy, and keep the mind calm and joyous can support and enhance pure conception.

Ojas & Physical/Mental Health For Pregnancy

Ayurveda, it states that the body and mind are equally involved in the conception.

Ojas plays a crucial role in one’s physical well being. Ojas is responsible for sustaining life and it regulates the body’s physiological balance. Literally, “the loss of ojas is the loss of life” Physical endurance relies on a healthy balance of ojas. It is ojas that is responsible for giving bodily tissues their strength and their ability to resist stress. Ojas is an “energetic container” which holds within it all the functions and systems of the physical body. When this physical container is healthy and full, then a person is also healthy and full. When the body is stable, it is capable of resisting stress. The strength of ojas is directly proportional to a person’s resistance to dysfunction or disease.

Just as ojas cultivates a state of equilibrium in the body, it also creates a state of equilibrium in the mind.

Ojas plays a vital role in the body’s immunity and in the mind’s mental well-being.

Ojas is defined as ojastejo dhaathunaam i.e. the essence of all the dhatus is called the ojas. The ojas is responsible for the life to be sustained and is also the source for the internal strength and resistance power.
