Balanced Alignment - Ayurveda Today

I have long since felt that healers and healthcare practitioners of all kinds can empower their practice by learning the fundamental principles of Ayurveda.

Why?

Because Ayurveda is a true science by which I mean axiomatic in nature. Axiomatic means self evident, proven by reality itself. For example, gravity is axiomatic. There’s no debate about gravity, reality itself proves it so. Before humans discovered the equation to quantify it, gravity was present and true. Before they discovered the math to construct equations, math was true. Similarly, the laws of physics, calculus, and chemistry have all been true since the beginning of time. They are axiomatic, they are embedded as laws of this universe.

Ayurvedic medical science reveals the axiomatic laws of biology. In the same way that physical objects are governed by laws of physics, our bodies, minds, and cells are governed by laws of biology.

Over the past few years I’ve held such a strong desire for other healthcare providers to learn the fundamentals of Ayurveda. I wanted them to experience the empowerment and liberation I experienced. One day it occurred to me plain and simply, “Well then you have a responsibility to make that available to them.”

This is the parallel experience which ignited my desire to offer this course. During my time studying with Dr. J and the Kerala Ayurveda Academy (which I absolutely loved) I noticed a theme shared by nearly all of my classmates. Questions like: “Are egg rolls ayurvedic?” and “What’s the best medicine for liver disease?” revealed that they lacked a very critical understanding of Ayurveda’s most basic principles. Yes, we went over them in class, but clearly, they had not fully landed. Towards the end of my education, many if not most of my colleagues could recite formulations and their applications to specific diseases better than I could, but their ability to assess, discern, and treat according to fundamental principles of Ayurveda was lacking.

These principles are not pieces of information but rather seeds of knowledge. You can plant these seeds but you cannot rush their growth. And it is the fruit of these trees which bear revelation and insight.

I was lucky enough to study Ayurveda intensely for 5 years before attending KAA. This enabled me to absorb the curriculum effectively. I feel most Ayurvedic students in the U.S. are not given the time, direction, and guidance to cultivate those initial and foundational seeds of knowledge. They are planted, but then student’s attention is redirected away those young sprouts necessary for building an embodied foundation of knowledge.

It becomes information overload and at the end of the program, students don’t graduate feeling empowered to practice Ayurveda. If you relate to this, this course was made for you.

Ayurvedic Medicine 101: Foundations of Practice is live 🥳 I encourage every Ayurveda enthusiast to start with this course before paying thousands of dollars to go to one of the big name schools. Set the foundation first. This course is $299 and the value is guaranteed. If you complete it and feel it wasn’t worth the money you’ll be refunded no questions asked.

For my fellow healthcare providers out there, you’ll find that these principles don’t disrupt your practice, but rather empower it. You’ll learn how to distinguish a person’s energetic anatomy, why things you do work the way they work, and why other things don’t work. Why some things work for some people but not for others.

Lastly, the 2025 live cohort will launch this fall! You need to have completed this first course in order to join the upcoming Part 2 Live Cohort this fall so if you’re feeling inspired, start it now! This will give you the opportunity to join us live (online) in the fall.

Continue being bold and courageous my friends,

I absolutely loved my conversation with Oreste last week. I was originally connected with him through my sister almost 8 years ago. I reached out, and he responded with attention and kindness. Then I dropped the ball and allowed our communication to halt for nearly a decade.

Throughout all of those years I would think about him occasionally. My mind just never allowed me to forget him. 6 months ago I thought, “Hey, better late than never,” and I reached out. We locked in right away, and I was inspired by the power and authenticity of his spirit. I got nervous speaking to him because I knew how much wisdom he had, and I could recognize the power he had to transform me. I am now blessed to work with Oreste as his client.

Enjoy :)

In this episode I process my personal stress and anxiety out loud in real time. In so doing it occurs to me that perhaps my stress isn’t an indication that I’m broken - on the contrary - my stress is an exact indication that I’m functioning well. Let’s flip the script on this mental health stuff and build a foundation for processing stressors effectively as a means to create vitality in our lives 🙌
