Our speaker, Robert Sachs, was introduced by Michael Shaffran.
His main focus is Ayurveda, which is a system of medicine with historic roots in India. Globalized and Modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of alternative medicine. The purpose of this type of medicine is to keep people healthy and happy. We may unhealthy because of Ignorance (lifestyle of coffee drinking etc.), Attachment (we like what we like) or Aggression (push back or stress). Our lifestyle contributes to 90% of how we feel. Exercise and diet are vitally important as well.....different kinds for different body types etc.
Detoxification......could change your health. Massage, hydro therapies, and acupuncture are also part of the program. The program points out the strong connections between the mind, body and spirit.
Robert and his wife, Melanie, live in Oceano and he has written several books, some of which he brought with him to sell.
Next week will be Si Tenenberg, whose focus is what we can do to support our troops. Si is always an interesting speaker and has greatly improved the lives of our military.
