What is Jeeva?

xArtboard 1
The Jeeva Lifestyle is a journey toward a “mindful” lifestyle, which incorporates ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern Western practicality. Living a healthy and balanced lifestyle to discover our inner Self = Jeeva Lifestyle!

In Sanskrit, “Jeeva” means the immortal essence of a living organism. This is a commonly used term in India. In a broader sense, Jeeva refers to “Life” itself — your life, my life. In a deeper sense, it means the inner Self (separate from our physical body and emotions) that resides inside each one of us.

Jeeva philosophy


Real change comes with a conscious mind and not with a fearful mind! 
We live in a fear-provoking society. Each and every day, we are constantly bombarded (through television, internet, magazines, and social interactions) with fear of disease, fear of rejection, fear of losing relationships, fear of old age…you get the point! These provoking fears push us to take some kind of action. Fear sells. We are pushed to take care of our health because we are fearful of getting sick; we are pushed to exercise because we want to impress our loved one with the “perfect figure”; we are pushed into buying things we really don’t need because we want to fit in; and the list goes on. We start taking action on the wrong footing of “fear,” and this is not a real change but a temporary fix.

Human beings are a goal-oriented species. For a real change to take place, we need to have a real, lofty goal ahead of us, which will lead us to our ultimate destination.

Ayurveda advocates that, in order to live a wholesome life, we need to look at life’s big picture. The main goal of Ayurveda is to lead us back to our perfect state of wellbeing: physically, mentally, and spiritually. This perfect state is our Jeeva!

Instead of using fear (which, by nature, is low energy and tamasic) as a crutch, Jeeva Lifestyle philosophy is to embrace Ayurveda’s “top-down approach” to a mindful lifestyle, by keeping the highest goal in front to regain our perfect state.
