Ayurveda & Communication breakdown

As we expand in technology we regress in communications. Haven’t you noticed how many people never acknowledge your emails ? We have Facebooks, Skypes, Twitters, emails, text messengers, cell phones, cell text, even normal telephones and god forbid - letters !

So what is the problem ? People act like they communicate but in fact do less and less of real COMMUNICATION, i.e., impart, confer, or transmit. On a superficial level this is the sharing of short messages and information. On a deeper level this is sharing feelings and ideas. On a deeper level this is about sharing human values and understanding.

As Vata dosha gets increased by technology, fast, superficial lifestyles - it changes our manner of communication. We become faster, shallower and more superficial. Vata dosha controls our reception of information and expression of communication. Thus, if we abuse one side of this dynamic, the other side automatically suffers the same. So as you write shorter and shorted texto’s you end up having a shorter and shorter attention span. Opps, the shorter the attention span the shorter the messages you send. The less you spend time communicating the easier it is to be superficial. The more superficial you are the more problems you have to communicate with those people close to you - in other words, your personal relationships begin to breakdown. This is the result of not taking the time to manage Vata and to communicate !

How to control Vata ? Through diet and lifestyle which are explained in this book :
