How you feel on a mental and emotional level is at the heart of your health. If your mind is healthy then your body soon follows. Ayurveda recommends many practices for keeping your mind healthy and trouble free. A large part of your mental health comes from your attitude, levels of contentment and your perception of the world. Certain awareness practices are best for improving these qualities.

On a more physical level the health of the mind is also dependant on how well nourished it is, how much blood is reaching the brain and how relaxed your nervous system is.
