Inner Soma Ayurveda

Soma is often spoken of in relation to a magical plant that heals and rejuvenates us lending to immortality, but it can be seen as the essence of all healing, joy and wellbeing.

Soma is the essence or Rasa hidden in things that we have to especially extract in order to appreciate it. We are naturally programmed to seek it such that we may imbibe it. We seek it in pleasure giving tastes, smells, sounds and colours as well as in emotions like love and joy.

This is why when we speak of Soma we may think of an elixir if you will of immortality that comes from outside of us. It is in fact an inner essence. We must look within ourselves for the type of Soma that is infinite. Seeking outer Somas merely leads us to disconnect with our Self.

“Soma is ultimately the bliss of our own existence that we must pursue by our very own nature” – Soma in Yoga and Ayurveda by David Frawley

So, let’s rediscover that inner bliss or Soma by bringing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda into our lives such that we may experience it ourselves and share it with whomever we come into contact!
