Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a 5,000 year-old self-healing and holistic medicine that teaches us to live in sync with the rhythms of nature. The Sanskrit translation of Ayurveda means “the science of life.” These ancient teachings help us connect to and understand the inner workings of our holistic self so we may live a long, healthy and fulfilling life.
Through the practice of Svadhyaya (self-study) we can begin to understand the needs and cues of our energetic bodies and gain Tapas (discipline) to honor our needs and maintain balance in each aspect of our lives.
Today, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is used to provide clients with recommendations or suggestions to balance the natural intelligence of the body. Through the counseling sessions and a network of healing modalities we will work together to identify the imbalances in your life and strategize a wellness plan to help you achieve your holistic goals.
“Because we cannot scrub our inner body we need to learn a few skills to help cleanse our tissues, organs, and mind.
This is the art of Ayurveda.”
- Sebastian Pole
How Does It Work?
Each person is a unique combination of constitutional elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether. These elements are the energetic building blocks of all matter in the Universe. The elements also comprise what is referred to as the three Doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Every person is born with a natural constitution known as his or her Prakriti. It is made of predominantly one or three Doshas.
Ayurvedic philosophy understands that life is in a constant ebb and flow and that in order to thrive we need to adapt to the natural rhythms of the seasons, cycles and occurrences in life. However, life’s fluctuations can often leave us feeling stressed, disconnected, and depleted with low “Ojas,” our immune boosting life force.
Ayurveda empowers the individual to take responsibility in their health and wellness build the inner wisdom to identify when you are out of balance and have the tools to bring yourself back to a centered state. Through this self-healing medicine, we will examine your lifestyles and daily routines and help you develop practices that bring emotional, physical and mental resilience and Santosha (contentment) back into your life.
