Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health including Ayurveda; Putting the whole back into Holistic Health
Maharishi AyurvedaTM
Do you ever look around these days at all the various alternative approaches to health and spirituality and wonder whats going on?
What's going to cure my headaches? Reflexology, massage, brown rice or alien rebirthing? They all promise results but seem so vastly different. To relieve stress in my life should I do yoga, chant at sunrise, or meditate and if so what type? There are so many techniques around. And if I want to get in touch with my inner self, the self that is eternally blissful, that hides beneath the layers of insecurity, guilt and the strange morality learnt from television melodramas, where do I go? Do I need to go to India or is there a guru levitating in the local park?
As the New Age opens to embrace holistic health and experiential spirituality, some of us can feel lost in the myriad of modalities. People are turning away from the confines of western medicine and orthodox religion but they do not know where to turn to. How do we make sense out of the diversity of approaches that all seem to promise that same thing?
The key to understanding diversity is to go back to unity.
The guide to the maze exists within but how do we get there?
We want something that nourishes all aspects of life, that takes into account everything that impacts on our life and puts us in complete control of our health and spiritual destiny.
Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health is totally holistic. It recognises that health encompasses every aspect of the individual: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and takes into account everything that impacts upon the individual, from what we eat to where we live, from the seasonal cycles to the movements of the planets.
Veda means knowledge, universal knowledge that is true at the level of atoms and molecules and is also true at the cosmic level. Ayurveda means knowledge of life. It focuses on the physiology and the cycles of life but in the context of the bigger picture, the symphony of the universe. To simply talk about ayurveda is not giving the total picture and one can become lost in the diversity of yet another system of natural health care. Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health is always coming from the perspective of unity, both in the sense of total understanding of all the bits and the ability to actually experience wholeness.
