Replenishing Your Life Force

Replenishing Your Life Force The ancient Ayurvedic concept of ‘Ojas’ Ojas is your body’s deepest energy reserves. It means “your inner radiance” in Sanskrit. Think of it as a crucial life force that nestles in your heart. More Ojas equals more satisfaction, strength & nourishment for your entire being. Yet, when it depletes, it opens the door to weakness, fatigue & the unwelcome company of diseases. The problem is… most of us are depleted. It takes food 30 days to become Ojas. It’s the last reserves after going through all 7 bodily tissues (blood, muscle, fat, bone, etc). Its immunity, radiance, and vitality in physical form.
