Interview with the creator of Afrivedic™ Wellness.

Expert discussing the principles and how to apply them in daily life, plus their benefits.

March ushers in the season of renewal and rejuvenation. It's a time when nature blossoms, reminding us of the vital balance and harmony inherent in the natural world. At The Laya Center™, we believe in the power of this harmony and how it can be harnessed for our well-being. This belief is rooted deeply in the Afrivedic™ principles - a holistic approach to wellness that combines the wisdom of African traditional practices with Ayurvedic teachings. Today, we have the privilege of speaking with the Afrivedic™ expert to delve deeper into these principles. As we often say, "Balancing internal elements comes from within."

Dr. Ellis: Thank you for joining us today. Could you start by telling us what Afrivedic™ principles are?

Toyia Mays: Absolutely, and thank you for having me. Afrivedic™ is a unique wellness philosophy that synergizes the ancient wisdom of African herbal and spiritual practices with Ayurvedic principles. It's about understanding the connection between our body, mind, and spirit and using that understanding to achieve balance and wellness.

Dr. Ellis: How can these principles be applied in everyday life, especially for those looking to embrace spring's energy of renewal?

Toyia Mays: Spring is the perfect time to apply Afrivedic™ principles. The season itself is about renewal and growth. In daily life, this can translate to starting your day with mindfulness practices like meditation or deep breathing, which align with the Afrivedic™ focus on mental clarity and spiritual balance.

Also, integrating herbal remedies and natural foods into your diet is crucial. Spring offers a bounty of healing herbs and plants that align with Afrivedic™ teachings. For instance, incorporating herbs like nettle and dandelion, known for their detoxifying properties, can be very beneficial. We look to the sun as our power source, to help us connect and grow just as nature does during this time. Transitioning from Winter where we slowed a bit, shed some things and some people - we looked within more and now it’s time to connect to our intuition.

Dr. Ellis: That's fascinating. What are some specific health benefits one can expect from following these principles?

Toyia Mays: The benefits are wide-ranging. On a physical level, Afrivedic™ practices can improve digestion, enhance energy levels, and boost immunity – which is particularly important as we transition from winter to spring. Cleansing the gut will naturally enhance focus and connection to self through the power of digestion. And this is multi-layered digestion. We’re not just talking about being able to process and grab nutrients from your food better, we’re talking about being able to digest information so that you have better intuition. We really don’t realize how our eating habits affect EVERYTHING!

Mentally and spiritually, these practices promote a sense of inner peace and mindfulness, helping individuals to manage stress and anxiety more effectively too. The beauty of Afrivedic™ Wellness is that it encourages a holistic view of health, where physical well-being is intertwined with mental and spiritual health.

Dr. Ellis: Can you suggest a simple Afrivedic™ practice that our readers can start today?

Toyia Mays: One simple practice is to begin your day with a glass of warm water infused with lemon and honey. This not only hydrates your body but also aligns with Afrivedic™ Wellness principles of cleansing and revitalizing the body first thing in the morning. Bonus points if you do this within 30 minutes of waking up. Double bonus points if you spend the first 20 minutes meditating or listening to vibrational tones.

Another practice is to spend time in nature. Whether it's a walk in the park or simply sitting under a tree, connecting with the earth is a fundamental Afrivedic™ practice. It allows us to harmonize our energy with the natural world, which is incredibly rejuvenating. Remember when your grandmother would talk to her plants? She’d name them too — the plant spirit of loved ones past, the helpers. Remember, everything is connected!

Dr. Ellis: I love it so much! Thank you for this insight. Any final thoughts you'd like to share with our readers as they embrace the spring season?

Toyia Mays: Remember, wellness is a journey, not a destination. As you embrace the spring season, let Afrivedic™ principles guide you to find balance and harmony in all aspects of your life. Wellness truly comes from within, and by aligning with nature and its rhythms, we can all find a deeper sense of health and happiness.

At The Laya Center, we're dedicated to bringing you closer to holistic wellness. Embrace the Afrivedic™ way this spring and discover a renewed sense of balance and vitality.
