Written by the visionary founder of AVEDA, Horst Rechelbacher, this is a practical and inspiring guide to holistic beauty and wellbeing. The author opens the book by discussing how we can support the interdependence of all life by practicing self-knowledge and tapping into the wisdom of Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and other indigenously based medicinal traditions aimed at creating and maintaining balance throughout the mind and body. Using his own day as an example, Rechelbacher then shares a menu of rituals that draw on these ideas. He invites you to create your own daily regimen of cleansing, healthy nutrition, meditation and visualization, aromatherapy, relaxation exercises, body movement, massage, skin care, personal beauty, goal setting, time management, hair treatment, reflexology, yoga, seasonal beauty practices and much more. The purpose of this book is to reveal the interconnectedness of all things: of health and beauty; of mind, body and spirit; and of our bodies and the larger body we must care for, called Earth. Inspiring and accessible, its wisdom leads us to health, happiness and beauty with each action we take, each day of our lives.
