Today Peter Crone and I have some fascinating conversation about Ayurveda, human psychology, behavior, and interaction. Peter tells us about his first experience with Ayurveda and how he immediately adopted the science into his life and work. As a physicist, he has always been interested in who we are as humans, why we do what we do, how things work, and the principles of mother nature. We chat about why humans act, react and think in the ways that we do. We discuss how the wisdom of Ayurveda can help to open up a new world of connection and understanding, allowing us to change our old beliefs and habits. We talk about the importance of stillness and taking the time to sit, digest, assimilate and just BE. We discuss intuition, the psychology of humans, and the importance of accepting others and loving ourselves. Listen in and learn how these topics can be better understood with an Ayurvedic perspective, and learn to love and accept yourself in the process.

I rap with Peter Crone about Ayurveda and human potential:

• Giving people permission to be human and to be themselves
• The gift of Ayurveda combined with human behavior and intuition
• Availability and connection to the moment, to ourselves, and to each other
• Protection vs. vulnerability

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• How to assimilate the wisdom of Ayurveda with your next step in life
• What it means to fully accept who you are
• Our harmonious relationships with reality
• Why it is so important to sit still, to digest, and to assimilate experiences
