Ayurvedic Wellness Facilitation
“Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth, society’s attempt to “civilise” us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.” Ayurvedic proverb
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates to ‘the sacred knowledge of life’
Ayur = life; Veda = knowledge or wisdom It is a 5000+ year old healing tradition that was cognised in the Indus Valley by Rishis (seers) in the Vedic culture. This knowledge was passed orally from Guru to disciple for generations before it was written down.
As the quote above hints at, the emphasis in Ayurveda is on prevention and maintenance of an individuals health by paying attention to balance. Balance in thinking, diet, lifestyle and supporting that through the use of herbs and spices. Knowing and understanding (even a basic one) of Ayurveda can help to make changes based on your constitution or prakruiti.
How can Ayurveda support your life?
One of the things I love about Ayurveda is that it is so simple. The key concepts are;
- Ayurveda supports life
- It is about prevention
- Food is medicine; and
- Its oppositional medicine
Ayurveda maintains that all life must be supported by balanced energy. When we are in balance the bodies natural defence systems will be strong enough and deal with what ever is causing the dis-ease in the body.
The body is designed to heal itself, and because there is often an emotional or psychosomatic element to dis-ease, there are Ayurvedic practices that support the discovering of and elimination/reduction of those factors.
Understanding even the basics can fundamentally change your life.
How can I support you?
This work is all about you.
It is a process of remembering, of softening, of dissolving and integration.
I support you and facilitate an exploration of your own well-being and the depths of your own innate wisdom through the lens of Ayurveda. We explore how you might increase Ojas (juiciness), Prana (life force), reduce Ama (toxins) so you look and feel radiant and vital. The ultimate goal is for you de-armour, to soften into your divine nature and tap into that deep well of wisdom to reclaim your own wild and wise woman.
Together we look at;
Physical Sleep, elimination, food, movement
Mental Technology, breath
Emotional Stress, relationships (especially the one with yourself)
Spiritual Design your own sadana (daily spiritual practice) that works for you and your lifestyle
You are more powerful than you know and have all the answers to your own questions. Most often it is about getting out of our own way. Of quieting the monkey mind (and our ego), and allowing the heart and higher self to take precedence.
