 phlebotomist, and the rhinologist, repeating all the tests Olsson and
I took before the obstruction phase. The results will be ready in a few
weeks.
—It’ s not until I get home that evening and rinse my sinuses several times that
I can take a first full breath through my nose. I grab a coat and walk
barefoot to the backyard. There are wispy plumes of cirrus clouds moving
across the night sky, as big as spaceships. Above them, a few stubborn stars
punch through the mist and cluster around a waxing moon.
I exhale stale air from my chest and take in a breath. I smell the sour,
old-sock stink of mud. The black-label ChapStick of the damp doormat. A
L ysol whif f of the lemon tree and the anise tinge of dying leaves.
Each of these scents, this material in the world, explodes in my head in a
T echnicolor burst. The scents are so sparkled and alarming that I can almost
see them—a billion colored dots in a Seurat painting. As I take in another
breath, I imagine all these molecules passing down my throat and into my
lungs, pushing deeper into my bloodstream, where they provide fuel for
thoughts and the sensations that made them.
Smell is life’ s oldest sense. Standing here alone, nostrils flaring, it
occurs to me that breathing is so much more than just getting air into our
bodies. It’ s the most intimate connection to our surroundings.
Everything you or I or any other breathing thing has ever put in its
mouth, or in its nose, or soaked in through its skin, is hand-me-down space
dust that’ s been around for 13.8 billion years. This wayward matter has
been split apart by sunlight, spread throughout the universe, and come back
together again. T o breathe is to absorb ourselves in what surrounds us, to
take in little bits of life, understand them, and give pieces of ourselves back
out. Respiration is, at its core, reciprocation.
Respiration, I’m hoping, can also lead to restoration. Starting today, I
will attempt to heal whatever damage has been done to my body over the
past ten days of mouthbreathing and try to ensure ongoing health in the
future. I’ll put into practice several thousand years of teachings from
several dozen pulmonauts, breaking down their methods and measuring the
ef fects. W orking with Olsson, I’ll explore techniques to expand the lungs,
develop the diaphragm, flood the body with oxygen, hack the autonomic
nervous system, stimulate immune response, and reset chemoreceptors in
the brain.
The first step is the recovery phase I’ve just done. T o breathe through
my nose, all day and all night.
The nose is crucial because it clears air, heats it, and moistens it for
easier absorption. Most of us know this. But what so many people neverconsider is the nose’ s unexpected role in problems like erectile dysfunction.
Or how it can trigger a cavalcade of hormones and chemicals that lower
blood pressure and ease digestion. How it responds to the stages of a
woman’ s menstrual cycle. How it regulates our heart rate, opens the vessels
in our toes, and stores memories. How the density of your nasal hairs helps
determine whether you’ll suf fer from asthma.
Few of us ever consider how the nostrils of every living person pulse to
their own rhythm, opening and closing like a flower in response to our
moods, mental states, and perhaps even the sun and the moon.
•       •       •
Thirteen hundred years ago, an ancient T antric text, the Shiva Swar odaya,
described how one nostril will open to let breath in as the other will softly
close throughout the day. Some days, the right nostril yawns awake to greet
the sun; other days, the left awakens to the fullness of the moon. According
to the text, these rhythms are the same throughout every month and they’re
shared by all humanity. It’ s a method our bodies use to stay balanced and
grounded to the rhythms of the cosmos, and each other.
In 2004, an Indian sur geon named Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani
attempted to scientifically test the Shiva Swar odaya  patterns on an
international group of subjects. Over the course of a month, he found that
when the influence of the sun and moon on the Earth was at its strongest—
during a full or new moon—the students consistently shared the Shiva
Swar odaya  pattern.
Bhavanani admitted the data were anecdotal and much more research
would be needed to prove that all humans shared in this pattern. Still,
scientists have known for more than a century that the nostrils do  pulse to
their own beat, that they do open and close like flowers throughout the day
and night.
The phenomenon, called nasal cycles, was first described in 1895 by a
German physician named Richard Kayser. He noticed that the tissue lining
one nostril of his patients seemed to quickly congest and close while the
other would mysteriously open. Then, after about 30 minutes to 4 hours, the
nostrils switched, or “cycled.” The shifting appeared to be influenced less
by the moon’ s mysterious pull and more by sexual ur ges.The interior of the nose, it turned out, is blanketed with erectile tissue,
the same flesh that covers the penis, clitoris, and nipples. Noses get
erections. W ithin seconds, they too can engor ge with blood and become
lar ge and stif f. This happens because the nose is more intimately connected
to the genitals than any other or gan; when one gets aroused, the other
responds. The mere thought of sex for some people causes such severe
bouts of nasal erections that they’ll have trouble breathing and will start to
sneeze uncontrollably, an inconvenient condition called “ honeymoon
rhinitis.” As sexual stimulation weakens and erectile tissue becomes flaccid,
the nose will, too.
After Kayser ’ s discovery, decades passed and nobody of fered a good
reason for why the human nose was lined with erectile tissue, or why the
nostrils cycled. There were many theories: some believed this switching
provoked the body to flip over from side to side while sleeping to prevent
bedsores. (Breathing is easier through the nostril opposite the pillow.)
Others thought the cycling helped protect the nose from respiratory
infection and aller gies, while still others ar gued that alternate airflow allows
us to smell odors more ef ficiently.
What researchers eventually managed to confirm was that nasal erectile
tissue mirrored states of health. It would become inflamed during sickness
or other states of imbalance. If the nose became infected, the nasal cycle
became more pronounced and switched back and forth quickly. The right
and left nasal cavities also worked like an HV AC system, controlling
temperature and blood pressure and feeding the brain chemicals to alter our
moods, emotions, and sleep states.
The right nostril is a gas pedal. When you’re inhaling primarily through
this channel, circulation speeds up, your body gets hotter, and cortisol
levels, blood pressure, and heart rate all increase. This happens because
breathing through the right side of the nose activates the sympathetic
nervous system, the “fight or flight” mechanism that puts the body in a
more elevated state of alertness and readiness. Breathing through the right
nostril will also feed more blood to the opposite hemisphere of the brain,
specifically to the prefrontal cortex, which has been associated with logical
decisions, language, and computing.
Inhaling through the left nostril has the opposite ef fect: it works as a
kind of brake system to the right nostril’ s accelerator. The left nostril is
more deeply connected to the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest-and-relax side that lowers temperature and blood pressure, cools the body,
and reduces anxiety. Left-nostril breathing shifts blood flow to the opposite
side of the prefrontal cortex, the right area that plays a role in creative
thought, emotions, formation of mental abstractions, and negative emotions.
In 2015, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, recorded
the breathing patterns of a schizophrenic woman over the course of three
consecutive years and found that she had a “significantly greater” left-
nostril dominance. This breathing habit, they hypothesized, was likely
overstimulating the right-side “creative part” of her brain, and as a result
prodding her imagination to run amok. Over several sessions, the
researchers taught her to breathe through her opposite, “logical” nostril, and
she experienced far fewer hallucinations.
Our bodies operate most ef ficiently in a state of balance, pivoting
between action and relaxation, daydreaming and reasoned thought. This
balance is influenced by the nasal cycle, and may even be controlled by it.
It’ s a balance that can also be gamed.
There’ s a yoga practice dedicated to manipulating the body’ s functions
with forced breathing through the nostrils. It’ s called nadi shodhana —in
Sanskrit, nadi  means “channel” and shodhana  means “purification”—or,
more commonly, alternate nostril breathing

•  The occurrence of  late metastases which selectively effects  certain  types of tumors can now, for the ﬁrst time, be interpreted
formally, qualitatively as well as quantitatively, with the present growth analysis.
•  The above discussed growth analyses and the supportive evidence no longer permit us to ignore the conclusion that
metastases can be provoked by a surgical procedure!10/30/24, 4:52 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Is the Current Treatment of Cancer Self-Limitng?
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Is-the-Current-Cancer-Treatment-Self-Limiting.html 4/8Discussion
The induction of metastases by a surgical procedure at the primary tumo r can be suspected on the basis of previously known and
reported observations. It is known that tumor cells circulate in the blood of most tumor patients, though this ﬁnding alone is
insufﬁcient for the prognosis. It has furthermore been shown that manipulation of the tumor, such as severe palpation, biopsy or
surgery, results in a sudden increase of the number of tumor cells released into the blood circulation. It has been established that
the probability of metastasis development clearly increases with an increasing number of circulating tumor cells as shown in
Figure 6 (27).
Figure 6: Implantation rate of metastases plotted against the number of transplanted cells
It is understandable from these ﬁndings that a medical procedure can induce metastases under certain conditions. In one of the
observed cases metastases were also induced by a surgical operation, not at the tumor but far from the tumor site at the
gallbladder. It can be concluded from this that it is probably not only the event at the primary tumor per se (excision or puncture)
which is necessary and decisive for the induction of metastases, but that a transitory drastic reduction of the body's defense
mechanism can also favor the induction of metastases.
Temporary breakdowns of the defense mechanism could be the reason for the so-called spontaneous metastases. Certain
indications from our own observations support this interpretation. It follows from this that the development of metastases results
not only from the inducing factor, namely the surgical procedure, but from other predisposing and actualizing factors, such as size
and transplantability of the primary tumor, and systemic as well as local tissue defense factors.
At this point we may ask if metastases provoked by a surgical procedure, i.e., new metastases at the beginning of their growth,
can be made to regress. To achieve this goal, or at least to devitalize or temporarily impair the tumor cells released from the
primary tumor, various measures have been previously suggested. Such measures include the recommended radiation of the
tumor immediately before surgery (28-33) and circumoperative chemotherapy. However, both of these measures failed to be
successful. Retrospectively, we may assume that with both measures the success in the devitalization or destruction of tumor
cells was nulliﬁed by the simultaneously ef fective immunosuppressive action.
We must ask again what possibilities are presently known for metastasis prophylaxis preceding a diagnostic or surgical
procedure. The following possibilities can be mentioned:
1.  Administration of immune,stimulants: BeG, levamisole.
2.  Administration of aggregation inhibitors.
3.  Application of the radiogenic protective effect (34) described in1966 by this author and Taenzer (35-36). This effect may have
an immunological action and applies not only to the second radiation  following the whole body radiation after a certain time
interval but also to other biologic ef fects, e.g., the tumor implantation rate (37), see Figure 7.10/30/24, 4:52 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Is the Current Treatment of Cancer Self-Limitng?
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Is-the-Current-Cancer-Treatment-Self-Limiting.html 5/8Figure 7: Radiogenic protective effect. 35-36 LD50 after whole body radiation Is 925-R for white W istar rats.
Note the decreasing mortality with increasing time interval from 300-R protective radiation dose to full radiation.
So far, the author has tested and recognized only the effectiveness of the third possibility. Further studies are required but we may
be certain that metastasis prophylaxis  is  necessary  before  every  medical  procedure.  It  remains  to  be determined which one
of the above possibilities will be most ef fective.
Conclusion
The essential conclusion to be drawn from this investigation is that. the current generally held therapeutic concept of tumor
therapy must be changed! This requires a close cooperative collaborati on between the different medical disciplines, particularly
between surgery and radiology.
Metastasis prophylaxis must precede the ﬁrst operative treatment since implantation of just arrived tumor cells is a labile phase
which decides whether or not the invading cells will succeed in expanding their 'bridgehead'. If they succeed then further invasion
is irresistible, and the fate of the patient is thus decided. On the other hand, if it is possible to reduce during this labile implantation
phase the still very small number of invading tumor cells so that less than the critical quantity remain viable, then the new
metastases gradually regress. It is not even necessary that all tumor cells of the newly developing metastases be killed. Animal
experiments have clearly shown that this strategy can be successful (38). Thus, if the provoked metastases can be forced to
regress during the implantation phase, the success rates of cancer treatment would leap upwards (14)!
Metastases, which have already grown, comprise so many tumor cells that they can no longer be forced to regress. This makes it
clear that the chance to decisively improve the cure quota occurs only once during the course of cancer, namely at the time of the
ﬁrst treatment.

From my first meeting with my editor, Kirsten Hanson, I knew we were
going to  do great work together. Kirsten knows how to quell t he fear—in
my case, a white-knuckled fear of food photography—and bring out the
best in a writer. Thanks to her and everyone at HarperCollins for enabling
this gem of a book.
A great copy editor is like a great chef: gently tweaking, always letting the
essence of the food shimmer, and never using a heavy hand. My sincere
thanks to  Julia Armstrong, a wordsmith whose gentle touch was  perfectly in
tune with the nature of my work.
This book takes a fresh look at a timeless subject, thanks in pa rt to Laurie

 you move teeth with braces, a tooth does not simply slide into the next
position. The figure of the tooth in chapter three shows how the tooth is surrounded by bone. To move
a tooth, the braces pull the teeth and the tooth is pushed into the alveolar bone. This is something akin
to a boat traveling through thick ice. As the tooth is pushed in one direction, the bone in the jaw must
dissolve on one end of the tooth and fill in on the other side of the tooth for the tooth to move. When
the tooth roots are pushed against the jaw bone with fixed dental appliances like braces, 93% of them
are damaged; some severely.
14
 Approximately 72-84% of teeth that have been treated with a fixed
appliance (braces) have suffered clinically significant damage.
15
 As a result many teeth suffer
permanent damage from braces. Gum disease later in life, in combination with roots that are damaged
from braces and are therefore much shorter, means early tooth loss. Standard consent and disclaimer
forms that patients must sign before accepting braces as treatment explain the known harm caused by
braces. They include jaw pain (from the bite being pulled out of alignment), root resorption, tooth or
jaw instability, fleeting results due to physical growth, gum inflammation, and unexpected results.
Meanwhile, in the orthopedic model you will suffer none of these side effects because the dental
orthopedic model works with the natural form of the body, helping it function and grow properly.
If you put braces on the teeth of a growing child, and do not even try to move or push teeth, as the
child’s jaw grows, his teeth are going to move in the jaw bone. Root resorption is worse in older
children than in younger children.

Bicuspid Extraction
Bicuspid extraction performed by conventional orthodontics on children and teens collapses the
structure of the face, making the face more narrow and less attractive. This unfortunate result has been
shown in studies comparing differing orthodontic approaches with identical twins. Over time, the
twin whose teeth were not extracted, but whose dental arch was widened instead, developed the more
attractive facial features. Bicuspid extraction sacrifices perfectly healthy and beautiful teeth to the
faulty goals of conventional orthodontics.
17
 Not to mention the fact that pulling teeth can cause
emotional trauma as children feel that they have been disfigured or that there is something wrong with
them.
Orthodontics Does Not Address the Physiological Cause of Crooked TeethCrooked teeth are the result of a maxilla (upper palate) that is too narrow.
18
 This leads to a child
having a more narrow face and less appealing looks. Practically speaking a wider face means more
space for the tongue, and a greater ease in breathing, along with plenty of space for all of the teeth
including the wisdom teeth. What conventional orthodontics does is make space for teeth by pushing
the teeth, rather than by encouraging the jaw to develop to its full potential, which is the orthopedic
approach. In their drive to make teeth fit, conventional orthodontists pull out teeth. Yet extracting teeth
has led to noticeably altered facial features to the patient’s detriment.
19
 The other conventional
method for making all of the teeth fit besides extractions is to fan them out forward. Part of the
problem with the bite in an individual with an overbite (closed bite), is not enough height in the
molars for the jaw to swing forward naturally and to have the molars comfortably touch. When the
teeth are fanned out with braces, the back molars stay at the same low height, and then the height of
the front teeth is also lowered by being rocked outward.
Rather than working with the correct therapeutic model as described earlier and the natural growth
direction of the body, conventional orthodontics works against it. Rather than bringing the jaw
forward, conventional orthodontics pushes the maxilla (upper palate) back and compounds the
problem and further prevents the mandible (jaw) from growing.
20
 Conventional orthodontics lowers
the height of teeth that do not need to be lowered, removes teeth that are perfectly beautiful and
healthy, pushes teeth into the jaw bone and causes their roots to shorten.
To say that conventional
orthodontics is a massive disaster would be a grave understatement.
The wires in orthodontic appliances contain nickel and can cause personality changes such as a lack
of affection and lowered intelligence. Homeopathic remedies for nickel poisoning can resolve this
situation.Functional Orthopedics
The good news is that nearly every problem with orthodontics can be corrected to some degree with
orthopedics. Finding a practitioner who understands all of the aspects and integrative care required
for dental orthopedic changes can be difficult since dental orthopedics requires the specialty of three
or more areas of expertise. As a result, the combination of a dentist who practices orthopedics along
with physical therapies is required for the best treatment outcomes. Dental orthopedics requires not
just an understanding of, but the physical manipulation of the cranial bones, the jaw bones, the TMJ
joint, the fascia which is a fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves, and the
dura mater
 which
surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The younger the patient, and the less severe the imbalance, the
less expertise is going to be required from multiple fields to produce a successful result.
Craniopathy
Craniopathy has its origins in an old system of chiropractic work. When we breathe, the bones in our
head actually breathe and expand. The human head contains a set of 23 interlocking bones. There are
eight cranial bones and fourteen facial bones. When we are born, many of us have slight imbalances
in the bones of our body, particularly the cranial bones. This creates a cranial birth distortion. Over
time these distortions, or bone malformations in the cranium or cervical vertebrae, can lead to bite
distortions, particularly left/right imbalances where one side of the jaw develops more fully than the
other. Injuries and other traumas in life can also cause cranial bones to become stuck, which over
time can cause physiological problems.
The other important understanding with relation to braces or any functional orthopedic appliance
therapy is that every time you move even one tooth, some or all of the 23 cranial bones are going to
move with it. This is because the tooth is attached to our jaw bone. The
dura mater
 and fascia also
move when teeth are moved.
The net result of the interconnection of cranial bones and teeth is that it is possible to go through an
entire round of orthopedics or orthodontics and have the jaw and bite function perfectly, but still have
a distorted cranial system. If the distorted cranial system in that situation is fixed by a craniopath who
moves cranial bones, then the interlocking bones of the skull will move the bite back out of position,
and the dental treatment will need to be redone. The moral of this story is that any work done on the
teeth to correct bite imbalances must involve substantial additional therapies to maintain the
alignment of the cranial bones. You can find certified craniopaths at the Sacro Occipital Research
Society International
www.sorsi.com
Jaw Alignment through Body Work
There are several modalities to help your jaw, head and bite all feel more comfortable and function
more correctly. Amazingly, each modality which I present here, which I have experienced personally,
has a unique perspective on what is important. Each modality generally completely misses something
that a practitioner from another modality feels is important. For example, after seeing several experts
including an osteopath, several chiropractors from different modalities, and two different cranial
sacral therapists, none of them discovered a simple fact that my TMJ joint on the left side wasjammed. The next chiropractor I saw, a craniopath, was able to release the locked joint in one or two
quick adjustments.
21
 While I believe that all these different modalities can learn from one another,
and that the specialties could all be involved and enhanced, the reality is most practitioners do not
see anything close to the entire picture, and unfortunately many are closed-minded and mired in
limiting belief systems even when they offer excellent therapeutic treatments.
The first step to functional orthopedics is nearly always to have body work treatments done. This is
my opinion. This is not any official recommendation from any organization. The more treatments, the
better. I received body work treatments with a craniopath, a directional non-force chiropractor, and a
biodynamic osteopath for about 8 months before getting a dental appliance.
22
 I kept receiving the
treatments until I would hit a wall in which the treatments were no longer helpful because I needed
extra support for my bite from a dental appliance. There are of course other body work modalities
and forms of chiropractic work not mentioned here that may help or even completely heal any bite
dysfunction.

 and attach it to the switches middle terminal.
Leave the other end meant for the breadboard hanging for now.
Step 13. Making the Final Attachments to the 3.5mm Audio Jack.
Before you go ahead and connect to the 3.5mm jack let's take a quick look at the terminals and their
correspondence to our schematic. If you haven't noticed  already there are three terminals reaching out of
the jack, here's what you need to know.
.
The final necessary attachments from th e breadboard to the audio jack are:
Bring a new jumper wire in from the 'open' end of the first 820 Ohm resistor that you placed along with
the 100k potentiometer to terminal 3 of the 3.5mm audio jack.
Bring a new jumper wire from the right side of the so le 150k resistor placed just above the first (upper) chip and hook it up to terminal 1 of the 3.5mm audio jack.
Then finally, bring a third jumper wire from the end of the 22uf capacitor to the fi nal available terminal on
the audio jack, terminal 2.
Congratulations, your setup is now complete!
The Final Touch-Ups
If you haven't had to do so already, carefully place the breadboard within the ABS project box, the box
should be turned upside down and the bread board should be facing up in that regard. Take your battery
array and attach the only remaining negative lead in to a convenient hole in one of the (-) negative
terminals on either side of the bread board, finally,  take the wire coming from the center of the toggle
switch that you attached a few steps ago and pl ace it into a hole of the positive terminal.
At this point you should see the LED go on if you decide d to include it, if it doesn't make sure it switches
on when you move the switch to the on position. If y ou decided to skip over the LED move on to the next
statement.
Take your electrodes and plug them into the 3.5mm jack, if you didn't order the already made ones, you
can easily create on by taking a nominal length headphone wire, clip the headphones off (of course if you
must you can go out and buy an audio wire from an el ectronics store and use that). Use your wire stripper
and get rid of the coating over the three wires insi de of the cable. You will see one red, one white, and
then an uncoated silver wi re. Strip the red and white, join the silver  and white together, keep the red alone,
grab two alligator clips (electronics store or from a llelectronics.com) and simple attach the wires to the
clips, you may need to secure the conne ctions to alligator clips with tape  or by other means. When you get
that done, simply plug it into the jack.
Now take your multimeter, (if you managed to acquire one, which is really handy to find out if your work
was successful) and set it onto the 200v dial mark. Turn your 100k potentiometer en tirely to one direction,
take the probes of the multimeter, and touch one to each  electrode coming out of the box. Turn your box
on, you should get a voltage reading between th e two electrodes, find out which setting of the
potentiometer dial is the lowest and highest, you can  go ahead and mark each extreme for your purpose of
strength adjustment when needed.
Note: Make sure that the wires going and coming fr om the LED, Switch, Battery  Array and Potentiometer
have enough slack to not become pu lled off when carrying around your  Electrifier in case of sudden
movements or drops.
Once you have everything in your box you can take some tape and secure the battery array that should
now be on top of the breadboard to the 'roof' and walls of the project box.
Go ahead and put the lid on it, screw it closed (or ta pe it for easier access to change the batteries in the
future). That's it!The Bob Beck Magnetic Pulser Components
We'll go about in a similar fashion as the above instructions, first we will list the components, where you
can get them, etc., then we will move onto the schematic and steps.
This project deemed to be a hectic one as the pieces are all over the place, I did my best to keep it as
simple as possible, but unfortunately the parts are not entirely electronic compon ents as you will see. If
you manage to find them in a more successful way personally it could be easier. But once you've got
them, you've got the hardest part over with.

Finally since we will be working with a high voltage  and photoflash capacitors, I highly recommend the
use of rubber or latex gloves during this entire project, and if you happen to make a few too many holes
definitely change them for new ones, safety first!
The Bob Beck Magnetic Pulser Schematic and its Steps to
Construction
Below is the schematic to the Bob Beck Magnetic Pu lser, printing is recommended, bring your parts out
and lay them out on a clear work area and get ready to create your pulser.Step 1. Make Your Holes
You will need to make a total of 6 holes of varying size in the project box that you will be building this
pulser into. here are what the holes should correspond to.
One hole for each light bulb socket (on the top of the box), preferably near each other, but make sure they
are spaced far enough so that when you screw in the bulbs they do not touch each other at all.
For the two switches, the momentar y button should be placed on the to p surface of the box, and the
lighted switch on one of the sides of the box, try to leave space in the center of the project box for your
perfboard construction that you will be doing.
Finally, two more holes on either end of the shorter sides of the box, one for the AC power cord that you
will have to secure on both sides of the hole with el ectric tape well so that it does not slip in or out any
further than it has too. Make sure  you have enough cable to reach the light sockets and the lighted switch.
The second the hole needs to be on the opposite side  of where you made the hole for the AC power cord
for the coil that you will construct in a few steps.
It should look like this.
Step 2. Make Your Initial ConnectionsIf you look to the schematic, we will be starting fro m the AC power cord and move along step by step
towards the coil. Firstly, be sure that you do not plug  in the AC power cord until the very end, also, only
plug it in to a protected power outlet with a surge protector also known as GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) it'll keep you safe.
There are three wires coming out of th e AC Adapter, if you got one with an ending you must clip it off
before even being able to get it into the box, so do so  if you still haven't. One is black (-) negative, white
(+) positive and green for ground.
If you look at the lighted switch you will see it has three terminals, one of th e terminals has a light-bulb
symbol on it, you can now securely solder the ground wi re from the AC power cord to this terminal, be
sure its the

Fragrance is the sensory quality that belongs to the
earth element. Fragrance itself makes up the subtle earth
element. Through the right use of fragrances, we can puri-
fy the earth element and open up its higher potentials,
helping us forget the earthly involvements that weigh so
heavily on our minds. Relating to the subtle earth element
fragrances as subtle foods, we can nourish and ground the Subtle Therapies 217
subtle body (or body of impressions). Though aromas pre-
dominate in earth, they contain aspects of all the elements
and stimulate all the subtle senses. The proper aromatic
oils bring favorable astral influences, like those of gods and
angels, into our psychic field and improve our psychic
environment.
Aromatic substances have a harmonizing affect upon
the mind, aid in the balance of the three humors and the
three vital essences of Prana, Tejas and Ojas. They
strengthen the immune system, help counter negative bac-
teria and viruses, and remove stagnant air. They help clear
negative emotions and astral pathogens (including nega-
tive thoughts from others). They increase positive emo-
tions like love, joy and happiness and strengthen our moti-
vation, determination and creativity. They improve our
capacity for reception, perception and discrimination.
Aromatic oils contain large amounts of Prana, the cos-
mic life-force, which they impart to us. They cleanse and
open the channels, allowing for the circulation of energies
in the nervous system, senses and mind. They serve as cat-
alytic agents to promote the right movement of the life-
force on all levels. As all disease involves some disturbance
or obstruction in the life-force through the Prana, aromas
help treat all diseases. However, used in excess, aromatic
oils can aggravate the humors (though less so than herbs).
Incense
Aromatic oils can be made into incense. This is usually
the simplest method of aroma therapy and the one most
common in Ayurvedic books. All forms of incense can be
used for aroma therapy. Aromas derived from tree resins,
barks, or branches (like cedar, juniper or sagebrush) can be
burned directly or indirectly (as on charcoal for resin) as Ayurveda and the Mind
incense. Other aromatic oils require special processing to
turn them into incense.
Incense can be used in various ways. We can directly
inhale the incense for stronger effect or just use it to puri-
fy and beautify our air and environment. The residue from
incense creates a protective film on a subtle level that
lingers long after the smell has dispersed.
Some fragrant herbs can be specially burnt on different
sites of the body. This is the common method of moxibus-
tion in Chinese medicine, which uses mugwort in this way,
usually burnt on a slice of fresh ginger. Ayurveda uses
turmeric and calamus in a similar way. The essential oil of
the plant is able to penetrate by the power of the heat.
Usage
Aromatic oils are usually applied externally. They can
be taken internally but generally only if they are diluted
properly. However, one should NEVER take the pure
essential oil of a plant internally. A teaspoon of almost any
essential oil, even mint, is enough to bum a hole in the
stomach and can be fatal. Essential oils are volatile, irritat-
ing and destmctive of the mucous membranes. They
should not be placed directly on the mucous membranes or
into the eyes.
Externally, aromatic oils can be placed on special sites
on the skin. Most of these are on the head, like the third
eye, the top of the head (site of the crown chakra), the tem-
ples (for headaches), the root of the nose (for sinus prob-
lems), behind the ears, or on the neck — places where they
can be easily smelled.
One can put a drop of the oil on the back of one's hand
or wrist and smell it periodically. The pure oil itself can be
used or it can be diluted with alcohol, water or a heavier Subtle Therapies 219
oil, like coconut or sesame. The powder of the herb may be
mixed with water and applied as a paste, like sandalwood
paste placed on the third eye or ginger paste on the tem-
ples.
Other important points are the heart, particularly in
the center of the chest or the center of the back opposite it,
the region of the chest (for lung disorders), the solar plexus
(for digestive disorders or to strengthen the will), the
navel, and the point of the sex center below the navel (for
sexual debility). On such places we may not smell the oils,
but they will affect various organs, systems or chakras by
their penetrating nature. Ayurveda recognizes various sen-
sitive points (mannas), mainly in these areas of the body,
which can be treated through aroma therapy.
Internally, oils are derived indirectly from herbal teas,
taken from the plant parts that contain the oils, like flow-
ers or leaves. Essential oils can be made into alcohol tinc-
tures, of which 10-30 drops can be taken internally with
wann water. Aromatic herbs can also be taken as powders
(though in powdered fonn their shelf life may not be very
long).
Taken internally in the proper medium, aromatic oils
stimulate the mind and nervous system through the
tongue and sense of taste. For this reason, it is best to taste
the herbs and hold them in our mouths a minute before
swallowing them. In this way aromatic herbs can work
directly on the Prana in the head, just as when they are
inhaled.
Flower Fragrances and Spicy Oils
Aromatic oils are essentially of two basic types: flower
fragrances and spicy oils. Flower fragrances, like rose or
jasmine, are usually sweet in taste and cooling in energy. Ayurveda and the Mind
Some are bitter-sweet, like jasmine or chrysanthemum.
Generally flower fragrances decrease Pitta and Vata but
increase Kapha. They elevate the emotions and both calm
and gladden the heart, stimulating the heart chakra. They
increase Ojas, the underlying energy reserve of the body
and mind, though in a mild way. Many of them, like jas-
mine and gardenia, strengthen the immune system and in
their cleansing action have natural antibiotic properties.
Flowers are an important part of anti-Pitta therapy because
they reduce hot emotions like irritability and anger and
clear heat and fire from the head.
Spicy oils, like cinnamon or musk, are usually pungent
in taste and warming in energy. They decrease Kapha and
Vata but can increase Pitta. They clear the head, sinuses
and lungs, stimulate the mind and senses and increase
Tejas, clarity and power of perception. They improve nerve
function and many are analgesic (stop pain), like camphor
and mint. They help open the third eye, activate both the
circulatory and digestive systems and clear the channels.
Such aromas are an important part of anti-Kapha therapy.
Aromas which are purely pungent, like camphor or
sage, are best for Kapha. Those which are pungent and
sweet, like cinnamon, ginger or cardamom, are better for
Vata. Some bitter spicy oils also exist, like wormwood and
vetivert. They are good for Pitta and often possess refrig-
erant (strongly cooling) properties.
As fragrant oils are light and strong in smell, in excess
they can aggravate Vata. They can cause feelings of light-
headedness, ungroundedness and hypersensitivity. They
are generally good for Vata only in the right dosage — one
that is not too high. Subtle Therapies 221 /C\
Oils for the Three Biological Humors
VATA: Warming and pleasant oils are best, but not
too stimulating. Strongly pungent oils like musk or
cinnamon are balanced with sweet and calming oils
like sandalwood or rose. Best oils are sandalw'ood,
lotus flower, frankincense, plumeria, cinnamon, and
basil. These are good for Vata conditions of fear, anx-
iety, insomnia or tremors.
PITTA: Cool and pleasant oils are best, mainly
flower essences, though some cool spices or bitter
aromatics are useful. Best are sandalwood, rose,
vetivert, lemon grass, lotus, lavender, lily, saffron,
champak, gardenia, honeysuckle, and iris. These are
good for Pitta conditions of irritability, anger, or
mental conflict.
KAPHA: Hot spicy oils are best. These include
essential oils and resins like camphor, cinnamon,
heena, cloves, musk, sage, thyme, cedar, frankin-
cense and myrrh. These are good for Kapha condi-
tions of attachment, depression, and mental stagna-
tion. Sweet flowers

 obvious to his friends and family, whose positive feedback
increased his self-esteem and his desire to keep letting go of the negative
feelings and thoughts that had blocked the experience of joy in life.
This experience has been cited in some detail for a number of reasons.
It illustrates the scale of consciousness that we presented in a previous
chapter. For fifty years, this man had been at the lowest end of the scale in
this area of his life, with the accompanying belief, “I can’ t.” The inhibition
decreased his self-esteem and resulted in avoidance. For years, he managed
to avoid social af fairs where there would be dancing. He was angry at
himself for his inhibition, and he would feel angry when anyone tried to get
him to dance. In a matter of seconds and minutes, he experienced every
emotion of the whole scale and went all the way to the top. At that point,
there was the emer gence of a higher consciousness with sudden spiritual
awareness of a very high order. W ith higher consciousness came
understanding and the release of psychic ability (telepathic communication,
synchronicity, and past life recall). As a result, his life showed a behavioral
change, and its momentum removed an endless series of blocks and
limitations. There was a positive social response, and the positive feedback
reinforced the growth motivation that was already in progress.
The rate of emotional growth reported by those who use the
mechanism of surrender is related to the consistency with which they
surrender their negative feelings, and there is no relationship to age. People
have ranged in age from the teens to the eighties with equal benefit.
Repressed and suppressed feelings require counter -ener gy to keep them
submer ged. It takes ener gy to hold down our feelings. As these feelings are
relinquished, the ener gy that had been holding down the negativity is now
freed for constructive uses. Consequent to letting go, there is an increase in
available ener gy for creativity, growth, work, and interpersonal
relationships. The quality and enjoyment of these activities increase. Most
people are too exhausted to bring a really high quality into their experiences
unless the negative programs opposing them have been resolved.
Pr oblem SolvingThe ef fectiveness of the letting go mechanism in problem solving often is
quite astonishing. Understanding the process involved here is very
important, because it is quite dif ferent than the world’ s usual methods. The
approach that brings fast and easy results is the following: Don’ t look for
answers; instead, let go of the feelings behind the question. When we are
surrendered on the feeling behind the question, we can let go of any other
feelings that we might also have about what seems to be the problem. When
we are finally and fully surrendered on all components, the answer will be
there waiting for us. W e won’ t have to look for it. Consider how simple and
easy this is as compared to the mind’ s usual long, drawn-out, inef ficient
attempts at problem solving. Usually the mind hunts and pecks endlessly,
fumbling around with first this possible answer and then that one. The
reason the mind can’ t decide is because it is looking in the wrong place.
Let’ s see how the system works with a common everyday example.
Let’ s say that we disagree with our mate on which movie to see. W e look to
see what the feeling is behind the problem. In this case, let’ s say that we
find the feeling of anger and resentment, specifically that we feel resentful
about the lack of romantic time spent together. What we really want tonight
is af fectionate time spent together. As we let it be okay inside ourselves that
what we really want is af fectionate togetherness, it suddenly dawns on us
that we don’ t want to go to a movie at all. W e just want to be together. Or
the opposite might happen. W e might find that the feeling behind wanting
to go to a movie is fear, because we want to avoid spending the evening
talking to and being close to our mate. W e see that the feelings we have
built up are unpleasant. W e have resentment, so we let go of wanting to
modify that feeling, and we just let it be there. It’ s okay to have that
resentment. As we surrender our resistance to the resentful feeling, we feel
less guilty; we admit to our mate that we have had a resentment. A dialogue
starts going, and the other person’ s feelings are cleared up as well. W e both
feel relieved and closer, and we then say, “T o heck with the movies. Let’ s
stay home, make love, and go for a walk in the moonlight.”
This approach is rewarding in all decision-making. When we first clear
out the underlying feelings, the decisions are more realistic and wise. Think
of how often we have changed our mind and regretted past decisions. That
is because there was an unrecognized and un-relinquished feeling behind
the decision. When the action that was decided upon is taken, the
underlying feeling shifts. Then, from the viewpoint of the new feelingspace, the decision turns out to be wrong. This happens with such regularity
that most people develop a fear of decision-making, because it turned out to
be wrong so often in the past.
Problem solving using the mechanism of surrender can often be
lightning quick with problems of long standing. T o discover how fast it can
work, let’ s try it out. T ake several problems of long standing and stop
looking for the answers. Look to see what the underlying feeling is that
produced the question in the first place. Once that feeling is let go, the
answer will present itself automatically.
Lifestyle
A lot of our activities and attachments are based on fear and anger, guilt and
pride. As these negative feelings are relinquished in any given area, we
move up to courage. On that level, changes in life begin to occur. Or, if we
choose to continue the same activity, the motivation is dif ferent and,
consequently, we will experience dif ferent results than in the past. The
emotional payof f will at least be dif ferent. Instead of grim satisfaction, we
may experience joy. W e may find ourselves doing the same activity as
before, but now we do it out of enjoyment rather than obligation. W e do it
because we want to, not because we have to. The ener gy requirement will
certainly be much less.
One delightful discovery we will make is that our capacity for love is
far beyond what we ever dreamed. The more we let go, the more loving we
become. More and more of our life will be spent doing things that we love
to do, with people for whom we feel increasing love. As this happens, our
life becomes transformed. W e look dif ferent. People respond dif ferently to
us. W e are relaxed, happy, and easy-going. People are attracted to us
because they feel comfortable and happy around us. W aitresses and cab
drivers suddenly mysteriously become attentive and courteous, and we will
wonder, “What has come over this world?” The answer to that question is
“ Y ou  have!”
As we let go the negative, we come into our own power. It happens of
its own. Happiness was in there all along and now it shines forth after the
blocks to it have been surrendered. W e are now influencing everyone with
whom we come into contact in a favorable way. Love is the most powerful
of the emotional ener gy vibrations. For love, people will go to any lengths
and do things that they would never do for any amount of money.When the negative blocks and “I can’ ts” are removed, whole new areas
of life open up to us. Success stems from doing what we like to do best, but
most people are tied down to what they imagine they have to do. As
limitations are relinquished, whole new avenues of creativity and
expression become available.
Let’ s take the example of a young woman with a lot of natural musical
talent who was spending most of her time at a boring job, which she felt she
had to stick to for financial reasons. What she really liked to do was play
musical instruments when she was alone at home. It was something that she
did strictly for personal enjoyment. Because of the lack of self-confidence,
she seldom played for other people, even close friends. After she began to
let go of her inner limitations—all of the low-ener gy feelings that were
blocking her expression—her abilities and confidence grew so rapidly that
she began to play in front of public gatherings. Her talent was well
received, and a busy musical career ensued. She made a professional
recording that was suf ficiently successful that she could cut back to
working part time, and she began to pour more time and ener gy into what
was now a blossoming career that brought her great joy and satisfaction.
Although she had known nothing about business, she now started her own
musical business and, within a year, was distributing the recordings
nationally, then in Europe. T o her delight, she found that she was very
successful by doing what she liked to do best. Her increasing vitality and
happiness were apparent to everyone, and success spread to other areas of
her life.
Another example is that of a middle-aged engineer with no creative
ability who had always hated poetry. After learning to let go of


 and nuts individually, rather than the whole pu dding.
3. Consult an HK practitioner who can help you do the more powerful SET™ Allergy Correction.

VI. DO THE HK ALLERGY TAP L WITH THE SUBSTANCE ON THE SPA.
Tap the 8 pairs of Allergy Tapping Spots.
See the illustrations on the next page.
Tap for about 30 seconds.
Anyone may tap the spots: tester, subject, or helper.
Tap them in any order, and tap as many points as you like at one time.
1. Beside the nose at the inner corner of the eyes (Bladder 1).
2. Chest, just below the collarbone, and beside the breastbone, ov er first rib (Kidney 27).
3. Lateral edge of the little toes, just below the nail (Bladder 67).
4. Center of the balls of the feet (Kidney 1).
5. Cheekbones, just below the center of the eyes (Stomach 1).
6. Lateral edge of the second toes, just below the nail (Stomach 45).
7. Medial edge of the big toes, just below the nail (Spleen 1).
8. Sides of the torso, straight down from the armpit, halfway between the crook of the elbow and the armpit (Spleen 21).

VII. REPEAT STEP IV TO RETEST FOR ENERGY -ALLERGY.
Usually you will now see that the person no longer tests allergic to the substance. If that is not the case, perhaps you skipp ed or
mislocated some points, or you might simply need to tap a bit longer. Try again. It is often best if the person waits a few w eeks to
pass before using a former allergen. This allows the body time to do the healing and detoxification which the energy correcti on
sets in motion. Using the substance immediately will not ruin the correction, but it could lengthen the time and ease of  integrating
that correction

THE HK ALLERGY TESTING AND TAP PROCEDURES: OUTLINE VERSION
I. DO THE BALANCING TAP, COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
II. CONFIRM ENERGY BALANCING.
A. With palm on the navel, test:
“In the clear” = 8 (muscle locks)
Pinch = 9 (muscle unlocks)
Unpinch = 8
B. With palm on the navel, test after subject says:
“No” = 9
“Yes” = 8
C. Remove hand from navel for t he rest of this procedure.
III. CONFIRM THAT THE TEST -SPOTS TEST 8 IN THE CLEAR.
A. Touch and test one Allergy Test Spot (near the ear) in the clear.
It should test 8 8 8 8.
B. Touch and test both Allergy Tap Test Spots (armpits) in the clear.
They should  test 8 8 8 8.
IV. ENERGY -ALLERGY TESTING
To test if there is energy -allergy to a substance, test with the substance on the Substance Placement Area while touching one
Allergy Test Spot. A weak indicator muscle indicates allergy.
V. D O THE ALLERGY TAP TE ST.
Place the allergen on the SPA (Substance Placement Area). Possibly also taste or sniff.
Touch both Allergy Tap Test Spots, in the armpits and test.
An unlocked indicator muscle shows that the Allergy Tap will work now.
Proceed to Step VI.
A locked indi cator muscle indicates that tapping will not work now.
VI. DO THE HK ALLERGY TAP L WITH THE SUBSTANCE ON THE SPA.
1. Beside the nose at the inner corner of the eyes (Bladder 1).
2. Chest, just below the collarbone, beside the breastbone, and over first rib  (Kidney 27).
3. Lateral edge of the little toes, just below the nail (Bladder 67).
4. Center of the balls of the feet (Kidney 1).
5. Cheekbones, just below the center of the eyes (Stomach 1).
6. Lateral edge of the second toes, just below the nail (Stomach 45).
7. Medial edge of the big toes, just below the nail (Spleen 1).
8. Sides of the torso, straight down from the armpit, halfway between the crook of the elbow and the armpit (Spleen 21).

VII. REPEAT STEP IV TO RETEST FOR ALLERGY

Tolerance Test Point
Tolerance Tap Test Spot
THE TOLERANCE TESTING AND TAP PROCEDURE
I. Do the Balancing Tap, counter clockwise.
II. CONFIRM ENERGY BALANCING.
A. With palm on the navel, test:
“In the clear” = 8 (muscle locks)
Pinch = 9 ( muscle unlocks)
Unpinch = 8
B. With palm on the navel, test after subject says:
“No” = 9
“Yes” = 8
C. Remove hand from navel for the rest of this procedure.
III. CONFIRM THAT THE TEST -SPOTS TEST 8 IN THE CLEAR.
A. Touch and test one Tolerance Test Spot in the clear. It should test 8 8 8 8.
This test spot is on the back of the head, near the bottom of the skull and the top 2 cervical vertebrae, about halfway betwe en the
ear and the midline. There is one on either side of the spine. Use either one.
B. Test w hile touching both Tolerance Tap Test Spots simultaneously, in the clear. They should test 8 8 8 8.
There are two Tolerance Tap Test Spots, one on either side of the torso, halfway between the armpit and the crease of the elb ow.
This is Spleen 21, one of the points that you tap for the Allergy Tap Correction. You will test these points later to decide whether
or not to use the Tolerance Tap. Test while touching them both simultaneously in the clear. It is usually easiest if you touc h one
spot, and your cli ent touches the other. These Test Spots should test 8. If not, repeat the counter -clockwise Balancing Tap, or
drink some pure water.
Preparing to Tolerance Test
IV. TEST FOR TOLERANCE LEVEL
Place some of the substance on the SPA.
Touch one Tolerance Test Spot and test. If the indicator muscle stays locked, the subject can tolerate that much of the substance
now. Gradually increase the amount of substance on the SPA, testing after each increase, until the indicator muscle unlocks. Find
the largest amount fo r which they hold strong. That is their current tolerance level. Now you know how much of this substance can
be used now without stressing the system.
If your subject can already tolerate a large amount, you will probably not bother to do the Tolerance Tap  to increase the tolerance
further. If the tolerance is low, do the Tolerance Tap Test (Step V) to see if the Tolerance Tap will help to enhance their t olerance.
Remember that your tolerance limit changes depending on how much recent exposure you have had to the substance. If you know
you that you react strongly when you exceed your tolerance level, then retest frequently, until you learn how to live within your
tolerance limits.

V. D O THE TOLERANCE TAP TEST.
Test with the substance on the SPA while simul taneously touching both Tolerance Test Spots (Spleen 21’s, on the sides of the
torso).
An unlocked indicator muscle shows that the Tolerance Tap will work now.
Proceed to the Tolerance Tap Correction in Step VI.
A locked indicator muscle shows that Toleran ce Tapping will not work now.
Retest at another time, or seek assistance from a more experienced HK practitioner.

NOTICE!!
There are areas that must be touched.
There is a choice of points to tap.
As with Allergy Tapping, it does not matter who does the touching or tapping.
If you have enough hands, you may combine parts A & B, and also parts C & D.
A. Hold a palm f lat over the subject’s navel & tap:
Beside the nose at the inner corners of the eyes (Bladder 1)
OR
The lateral edge of the little toes, just below the nail

 This may prevent the clog from leading to an infection. If an
infection does occur, a washcloth or towel soaked in hot water used as a
compress can help soothe it. Use a breast pump on the infected breast so
that your babe does not drink the infected milk.
Ayurvedic Cow’ s Milk Formula
For babies who for whatever circumstances are not drinking breast
milk, Ysha Oakes of fers this recipe for a replacement formula made
from cow’ s milk (from Touching Heaven: T onic Postpartum Recipes
with Ayurveda ).
Ingredients
2 cups non-homogenized cream-top organic whole milk
2 cups distilled water
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
⅛ teaspoon cardamom
½ tablespoon fennel seed
1 thin slice fresh ginger⅛ to ¼ cup sucanat (you need much less for older babies)
Instructions
1.Bring all ingredients except sucanat to a boil. Let the boiling milk
climb the pot and then lift the pot of f the heat so the milk falls; put
the pot back on the heat and repeat three times. This makes
much smaller, easier-to-digest protein molecules.
2.Add sucanat and immediately turn the heat of f.
3.Cover to steep and let cool. Strain, and refrigerate extra. Serve
warm, like breast milk is served.
Note that these ingredients were chosen very intentionally. Cow’ s
milk, when properly used, is the most rejuvenative and complete
food. Ideally, you will find a source for local, raw cow’ s milk (from
farmers who love and protect their cows for the length of the cow’ s
natural life!) and bring it to a boil three times on the stovetop. If you
cannot find raw cow’ s milk, organic nonhomogenized cream-top
whole milk is the next best choice. Anything else will be too highly
processed and dif ficult to digest for both mama and baby. In addition,
milk should always be consumed warm. This recipe will not work for
all babies, so be sure to keep an eye on your little one’ s digestion to
make sure that it is working for them. You can start with more water
and sucanat, slowly decreasing the sucanat and adding more milk as
your babe gets older and can digest the milk well.

Being an Ayurveda mama means doing everything that you can to nourish
yourself and your little babe before conceiving, throughout pregnancy and
postpartum, and beyond. When a mama feels confident, she can feel more
at ease in her role as a mother. To “mother” means to nourish, and the food
that you eat is one of the main ways you will be nourishing you and your
little babe.
Many mamas may suddenly feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of
having to choose what types of food to favor or avoid during pregnancy and
postpartum. What you eat is literally building the tissues of your little one
during pregnancy, and your diet postpartum directly af fects your baby’ s
mood, skin, and digestion—and thus all other systems in their body. A huge
focus in Ayurvedic nutrition is to eat the proper foods at the proper times to
ensure that what you eat can be digested, absorbed, and thus easily
assimilated into your body.
You know by now that one of the most important factors in pregnancy
and postpartum is the pacification of vata dosha. This becomes especially
important in your postpartum window as you are rekindling your digestive
fire and nourishing your little one in a whole new way.
In this chapter, I share the basic principles around Ayurvedic pregnancy
and postpartum nutrition, including why diet is such a pillar of your sacred
window and why it is so important to eat simple meals after giving birth. I
will then of fer some of my favorite recipes to nourish you during pregnancy
and to support you postpartum so that you may experience ease in your own
body, as well as support your little one in feeling the same.DIET AND NOURISHMENT
DURING PREGNANCY
During pregnancy, diet is the crucial way through which you send nutrients
to your little one. The origin of many adult diseases have their roots in the
fetal life, so maternal nutrition plays a crucial role in your baby’ s future
health.
The Charaka Samhita  says that the pregnant woman needs to fulfill
three main responsibilities. The first is swasharirpushti,  nourishment of her
own body. The second is stanyavruddhi,  preparing herself for lactation or
milk production. The third is garbhvruddhi,  nourishment for the
development and growth of her little one. In a similar vein, the Sushruta
Samhita  advises: “The essence of the food taken by the mother is divided
into three parts—one nourishes her, the other promotes her breast milk, and
the third portion nourishes the fetus.”
The key word during pregnancy is nourish.  Nourishment will look
different for everyone. The important thing is that you do nourish yourself
and avoid extremes that deplete your body. Allow yourself to feed your
body in a way that feels deeply satisfying. Trust that when your body is
nourished, it knows how to maintain balance regarding weight and general
well-being. Your body will work for you when you give it what it needs. In
the Ayurvedic approach, nourishment comes not only from a diet that
satisfies the body’ s needs for macro- and micronutrients, but it also requires
attention to Ayurvedic basics such as food quality, agni, ojas, and balance.
MACRO- AND MICRONUTRIENTS
Your diet should be filled with all essential macro- and micronutrients.
As the name implies, macronutrients are needed in lar ger amounts, as
they are the ones that provide ener gy. There are three macronutrients:
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Micronutrients are substances such as
vitamins and minerals that are needed only in small quantities but areessential for normal physiological functions. The following micronutrients
are especially important:
Calcium:  important for baby’ s bones
Folate:  to support baby’ s brain and spinal cord
Iron:  to nourish your increased blood volume
Magnesium:  to maintain mama’ s blood pressure and avoid
conditions like preeclampsia and eclampsia in later stages of
pregnancy
Omega-3 fatty acids:  important for brain development of your little
one
Vitamin B12: needed for proper brain functioning of both mama and
babe
Vitamin C:  important for absorption of iron
Vitamin D:  helps to absorb the right amount of calcium and
phosphate, helping baby’ s bones, teeth, kidneys, heart and nervous
system develop
Zinc:  important for baby’ s immunity
FOOD QUALITY
Ayurvedic tradition advises that pregnant women should favor a (lacto-ovo)
vegetarian diet—with healthy fats and protein components from or ganic
raw cheeses, paneer, ghee, milk, and other high-quality dairy—as these
foods are nutrient dense and generally lighter and easier to digest than
animal meat. A thoughtful diet of vegetarian foods contains all the essential
amino acids in simpler and easier -to-digest forms, digestible within six to
eight hours. Ayurveda teaches that it is best to avoid nonvegetarian food
during this time, as the digestive system slows down and animal meat tends
to be more compound and much heavier. A meat-based diet is alsoconsidered to be tamasic, carrying a more dulling and dense ener gy, as well
as any of the fear or anxiety that the animal was feeling before death.
Ayurveda recommends sattvic ahara : food that is homemade, fresh,
made with good thoughts in your mind, and prepared in a clean
environment, which will carry sattva—the qualities of clarity, purity, and
inner connection—to your baby. Along with this recommendation about
preparation comes the emphasis that the main qualities in the food that you
eat during pregnancy should be sweet, nourishing, and liquid/watery:
Sweet.  The sweet taste is stabilizing, building, and cooling to the
body, as well as relieving to thirst and soothing to burning
sensations. The sweet taste can be found not only in foods that are
obviously sweet—like most fruits and sweeteners—but also in foods
like rice, wheat, mung beans, beets, carrots, almonds, milk, and
ghee. Eaten in moderation, the sweet taste encourages love,
sharing, compassion, and joy.
Nourishing.  Eat foods that of fer stabilizing sources of energy and
deep nourishment for your physical body. Cooked food is generally
easier to digest, and thus more nourishing. Generally, these foods
will naturally taste sweet. Ideal examples include cooked grains,
spiced milk, root vegetables, stewed fruits, soaked nuts, and seeds.
Liquid/watery. Eat foods with generous amounts of high-quality oil
or ghee, and be sure to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids, ideally
warm or hot, no cooler than room temperature. Favor moist foods
like berries, melons, summer squash, and zucchini; oily foods like
avocado and coconut; and hydrating preparations such as soups
and stews.
