If we have to consciously breath.. i guess we will all have faced a situation when we would have forgotten to breath and would be in trouble :-). Like breathing we do lot of things subconsciously.. in some ways they are the habits that build up with time .. we don't think about it.. but just do it  like wise when we are in marriage we let our guards down and be who we are without any pretension.  For a marriage to work there are couple of following things that are needed .. some are subconscious influences which with habits we try to overcome.
  1. Love,Respect, Compromise for each other (Venus)
  2. Have no ego in relationship (Sun)
  3. Having a feeling of Disconnect (Ketu/South Node)

  5. Aggression, argument and fighting  (Mars)
  6. Emotions, mind, imagination (Moon)
  7. Understanding things correctly (Mercury)
  8. Learning, teaching, higher wisdom  (Jupiter)
  9. Commitment and Duties (Saturn)
For this conversation we will consider Saturn as a planet in relationship, its influences and how it can get us near a divorce if we don't understand it the subconscious influences and change our habits and approach in relationship. 

Saturn is the planet of responsibility, limitation, boundaries , truth of life etc. It teaches to live in reality, commitment , practicality, sincerity and long term goal in life. Saturn makes people humble by giving harshness in life. Saturn is the steadiness of mind, and  power to live in alone.


Let's consider one by one how these are important..

Saturn is responsibility, limitation, boundaries , truth of lifeWhen there is a Saturn influence in relationship (Venus with Saturn), it is very restricting, practical and block love it could be lot of learning and some what of a natural sadness in the relationship. If we have Saturn influence we should try to connect and be loving try to with the other person. If not then it will become hard on the other person to be in relationship and relationship can be break.  

Saturn is humbleness: When there is a Saturn influence you will see a person to be humble (Saturn in 7th house), they probably not like that from the starting.. they go through toughness in life which makes them humble.. This humbleness comes due to the helplessness that they are put in.. in someways it is a practical approach..but for a relationship to be live and healthy we need to have smiles around.

Saturn as power to live in lonely: Saturn is the planet of loneliness and it brings us  loneliness ( Saturn with Moon) which when looked from a relationship perspective is not that so great..When we are in relationship we want to be around people for their affection and love. If one wants to be alone then it will take lot of effort to take up and maintain a relationships. Once we know we have Saturn influence we should try to overcome it.

Ama in Ayurveda





What is Ama: Ama is undigested food which is responsible for many chronic and autoimmune disease.Fire ( Agni) in the digestive system is that basic energy, required digest food. It is responsible for the process of transformation of food that is consumed, i.e, it makes the consumed food available for the body tissues. If Agni is maintained in normalcy, one can stay healthy. Once the Agni is hampered, then ama is created which cause disturbance in dosha of the body and leads to various type of diseases. Any disease is nothing but the altered state of Agni in the stomach (Impaired functioning of Agni).


Due to impaired state of agni, degestion of food will not occur properly leading to a condition called Ama. The manner in which the nutrition ingested is digested, the way in which its various components are metabolized into appropriate Dhatu or tissue element and how some of its constituents are broken down for being utilized for the production of energy required for vital activities, depends upon what kind of Agni (digestive power) you have.


According to Ayurveda there are 13 types of Agni in body namely-7 Dhatu Agni, 5 Bhutagni
and 1 Jatharagni . Among these 13 Jatharagni is the prime one and nourishes the other
Agnis.


Jatharagni=refers to the whole process of digestion in G.I.T.


Bhutagni=refers to the final digestion in liver AGNI.


Dhatu Agni=refers to tissue metabolism


In Ayurvedic these 13 types of Agni are further divided into four types on the basis of function as follows:


I n ayurveda there are three Pathological State of Agni:


•Mandagni=Low function  of digestive enzymes
•Triksnagni=High function of digestive enzymes
•Vishmgni=Irregular secretion of digestive enzyme


And Healthy state of Agni.


•Samagni=Normal secretion of digestive enzymes.


Malfunctioning of Agni leads to production of Ama (undigested foods that remains in tract and acts as foreign elements and are responsible for many autoimmune diseases). Ama can be developed at the level of Jatharagni (improper digestion in G.I.T), Bhutagni (liver dysfunction) or Dhatu Agni (disturbed tissue metabolism).

There are several kinds of bacteria found in our intestines playing an important role in maintaining the health of body and intestines. These bacteria prevent the growth of harmful type of bacteria and several types of chemicals which are harmful to our health. So probiotics are essential for body to maintain healthy state. Probiotics are live microorganisms which when consumed may confer a health benefit to the recipient.


There are certain species of bacteria e.g. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacteria spp. are commonly used in the manufacture of probiotic products because of their well-known

lactose intolerance, decrease diarrheal incidence, control infections, act as antibiotics, suppress tumors and protect against colon/bladder cancer.


The continuous use of imbalance diet and medication due to some illness, there is stress buildup and an imbalance creat in the digestive system. Due to this there is increase of growth of harmful bacteria and thus giving rise to many disease. E.g. IBS, colitis like intestinal diseases etc.


In Ayurveda Takra (yogurt) is considered as the source of Probiotic. According to Ayurvedic understanding Takra (yoghurt) is a great probiotic. Hence the consumption of yoghurt in diet is
a simple and effective remedy as per Ayurveda.


The micro channels carrying nutrients to all cells in the body, when they get clogged or blocked due to any reason, the particular organ or system suffers in efficiency due to lack of nutrition.
It is essential to remove such blockages. The reason which cause the blockage must be treated. The buttermilk removes such blockages and purifies the channels Thus buttermilk is an important food supplement which keeps disease away.


Yoghurt is a natural probiotic diet because the friendly bacteria for the intestines and the body are found in abundance in it.  A bacterium of yoghurt help well in absorbing the minerals as well, particularly the calcium and the iron. Buttermilk detoxifies body and cleanses the intestines, relieves constipation and helps to replenish intestinal flora. It has less fat compared to milk and is rich in calcium, potassium and Vit B12. Hence in Ayurveda prime importance is given to butter milk. Therefore eating yogurt or buttermilk is the good therapy in Ayurveda for management of diseases related to the GI tract


What is Prebiotics:  Prebiotics are employed to promote both beneficial bacteria which are already established in the colon as well as externally administered probiotic bacteria. The original definition of prebiotics was that they are food ingredients which are indigestible in the upper GI tract and reach the colon to beneficially influence the recipient by selectively promoting the growth and/or activity of certain bacteria in the colon. You can find these prebiotics in naturally from many fruits and vegetables including leeks, Jerusalem artichokes, chicory, onion, garlic, banana, and asparagus.
