  We tend to identify most with our physical   bodies; yet, in actuality, there is more to
  us than what meets the eye.
   We can see   that underlying our physical   structure is   the mind, which not only   controls our   thought processes but   helps assist us   in carrying out day-to-
day   activities such as   respiration,   circulation,   digestion and   elimination.

Ayurveda >> Mind & body

   The mind and the body work in conjunction with one another to regulate our     physiology. In order for the mind to     act appropriately to assist the physical body,
     we must use our senses as information gatherers. We can think of     the mind as a     computer and the senses as the data which gets entered into the computer. Smell     and taste are     two important senses that aid in the digestive process. When the     mind registers that a particular food is entering     the gastrointestinal tract, it directs     the body to act accordingly by releasing various digestive enzymes. However,
    if we overindulge the taste buds with too much of a certain taste, such as sweet, we     may find that the ability of     the mind to perceive the sweet taste is impaired; and     thereby the body becomes challenged in its ability to     process sweet foods.     Maintaining the clarity of our senses is an essential part in allowing the mind and     body to     integrate their functions and help in keeping us healthy and happy     individuals

Ayurveda also sees that before we exist in physical form with the help of the mind and senses that we exist in a more subtle form known as the soul. The ancient seers of India believed that we were comprised of a certain energetic essence that precluded the inhabitance of our physical entity. In fact, they hypothesized that we may indeed occupy many physical bodies throughout the course of time but that our underlying self or soul remains unchanged. What we see to help illustrate this concept is what transpires at the time of death.

When the individual nears the time to leave the physical body, many of his/her desires will cease to be present. As the soul no longer identifies with the body, the desire to eat food or indulge in a particular activity that used to be a great source of satisfaction for that person drops by the wayside. In fact, many individuals have been documented to experience the sensation of being "out of their bodies.".
