One of the biggest diagnostic tools I’m learning in my Ayurveda course is how to determine imbalances from the pulse. While I’ve been able to understand the teachings, I had a difficult time putting it into practice because I basically had no pulse. Like, if it wasn’t me taking my own pulse I’d think I was dead.
I believe the reason for this comes from both a build up of ama – and the larger cause – total depletion.
I check it every day and every day there’s either nothing at all or the faintest of blips.
I’m doing (or allowing) everything I can to restore and heal myself to regain balance.
Today – my 19th day of the 44 days of happiness – I finally and consistently had a pulse today!! This means that I’m gaining strength (and on a lesser note I will be able to further my studies with the pulse). I’m insanely excited. It’s working!!
