Panchakarma not only purifies the body from metabolites and toxins, it also resets the physiological forces and intelligence of the body, which allowed for the body becoming compromised in the first place. The body realigns with its inherent state of balance, awakening its intelligence and life’s accompanying desire to thrive. The effects of panchakarma  trickle through multiple layers of being long after the procedure and often reveal deep insights about personal needs and cause a natural gravitation towards better choices marking a turning point in one's wellbeing.

The vedic tradition offers much guidance, not just on how to lead a healthy life but also how to conduct ones life and relationships at large.

The Chaturashrama model includes a model of life divided into four stages or ashrams; Brahmacarya (student life), Grhasta (Householding), Vanaprashta (Retreat) and Sannyasa (Renunciation). This essay explores how this ancient guide to life can help us navigate our evolving roles in modern times too.

Relationship means communication. If we observe our day to day life, there is plenty of evaluation, criticism, condemnation and rejection and there are but a few moments of clarity in communication.

Communication is possible when two people are at the same level of consciousness at the same time. If they are not, they can’t communicate, share or understand each other. Understanding needs sharing, sharing needs communication and communication needs clarity of consciousness. 

“That science is Āyurveda where that which is useful, that which is not useful to life, happy and unhappy states of life, what is good and bad for life, its measurement and life itself is described.”

Āyur-vidyā is the living wisdom behind the science of life, per implication the science of medicine. Its insight and power could appear in different individuals of different backgrounds in the context of different healing systems. Ayurveda in essence is very much about becoming a vehicle for this healing energy.
