Ayurveda, which literally means “science of life,” states: ” as is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.” Therefore, our body is a reflection of the universe. At every moment, the body undergoes profound changes to adjust to the continuous alterations of the environment and its recurrent cycles. Ayurveda has a unique interpretation of these cycles: it recognizes three major forces, or energies, each of which exert a significant influence on the body and mind for four hours, twice over a 24-hour period.
