To obtain the equilibrium in the life, method is required. This method is described in ayuryoga. The most simple and practical method is going from gross to subtle. According to Charak Samhita, one should bring in equilibrium first body with senses. First motor organs: speaking organs, organs of locomotion, holding, elimination, reproduction. Then he should balance the five sensory organs: smell organs (nose), taste (tongue), hearing (ears), vision (eyes), touch (skin). Then mind: organ of thinking. Then consciousness: atman (more subtle). Body is the frame and the seat of sense and motor organs, mind and atman (consciousness). First of all, to balance the body, one should give attention to the diet and physical exercise. The base of the body are srota, channels in our body, and the vital center. To make the flow of the channels in equilibrium, in ayuryoga, we concentrate on the diet and physical exercise.
