SoHum Mountain Healing Resort

You are part of the natural world and the natural world is part of you

According to Ayurveda, everything in the cosmos is reflected and mirrored in the microcosm of the human being. The universe is composed of five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These five elements combine in varying proportions to create the three doshas: Vata, the principle of movement, Pitta, the principle of transformation, and Kapha, the principle of cohesion or building block material. These elements and the doshas comprise the macrocosm also make up our individual constitutions.

The purpose of Ayurveda is to bring balance to these doshas and elements amidst the changing times of day, seasons, and phases of our lives. Optimal health isn’t found in a pill or an herbal compound – rooted in our day to day routines and choices – how we eat, breathe, move, sleep, interact, and connect with one another. Just as SoHum ties us to universal oneness, so Ayurveda reminds us that we are an intrinsic part of the cosmos, and our relationship to the natural world is what truly sustains and nourishes us.
