In Ayurveda, balancing the three body types – pitta, vata, kapha – results in an outlook on life in which one feels in harmony with the universe. Imbalance allows disharmony to take hold and feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, and despair can result. These feelings and emotions resulting from the imbalance can, in turn, affect the chemistry of the body and create a vicious cycle of physical, mental, and emotional pain. Ayurveda has natural methods to restore the balance of body, mind, and spirit, and stop the painful cycle. Come and discover: Which body types are prone to depression, anxiety, anger The link between toxins, diet, lifestyle, and depression/anxiety How supplements can work with – or against – your body type Foods that can effect – and change – your brain chemistry About our presenter: Dr. Somesh N.

These shows are most commonly called Slide Slams, a fast-paced fun art show in which artwork is displayed digitally onto a screen while each artist gives a brief talk. Due to the pandemic we’ve had to restructure this presentation. The program which was to take place at Pawling Recreation will be presented online at the websites of both Pawling Recreation & the Pawling Library. This is a great opportunity to see works of art while you listen to the artists’ commentaries. This art show will premiere on Friday, August 28 at 7:00 pm. Pawling Recreation is located a short distance away from our library at 2 Lakeside Drive at Lakeside Park in Pawling. Phone: 845-855-1131.	29
