Ayurveda
"Ayurveda
is beyond beginning and ending. A science of eternal
healing, it is compared to a vast ocean, and studying
Ayurveda to swimming across. A true teacher can teach
one how to swim, but the swimming is up to the student;
…it is a lifelong journey."
~Charaka Samhita
A myriad of natural healing theories and methods exist
that all seem to conflict with each other. How could
they all be right? They can and they are but no one
regime works for everyone. Individualization is the
key. We are born into different bodies, each with
a different heritage, and we have all lived different
lives. You may have practiced a system and gotten well
and became a convert or didn't and moved onto the next
theory. There is a need for a coherent, systemic way of
understanding our individual needs and applying
remedies to bring back health and happiness.
Traditional natural healing systems have already worked
out this approach. If we dig deep enough we will find
them all dipping from the same stream. Ayurveda has
worked out the idea that people are different and need
to be treated differently, as well as working out
techniques to do just that- successfully. It is a
coherent, cohesive theory that explains the success of
the spectrum of effective health programs. It explains
the reason some people get better on one diet and
others need a completely different diet. The
overarching concept of energy balance is the glue that
holds all the various theories, systems and techniques
together.
Ayurveda will help you pursue optimal health so that it
becomes a source of pleasure and energy instead of a
problem. You will be able to make balanced foods and
medicinal, healing, nourishing herbs a part of your
entire life- as an everyday, lifetime tonic for better
health, energy, stamina, and strength. The Ayurvedic
perspective can be seamlessly integrated into your
life. Ever wonder if your skin rash, hemorrhoids,
diarrhea, balding head and weak eyesight are connected?
Ayurveda will give you the tools to reverse all of
these and more with a new perspective on your life.
With the knowledge of how you are put together as an
individual, you will be able to select your diet, know
which herbs to take and what style of massage to have.
There's much to learn- and it can be easy, fun and most
importantly, effective beyond even what you might
imagine. You will become more deeply commited to your
health - and will have powerful new tools with which to
do something about it.
