Dear First name / friend,

As gentle sunrays bless and warm the soil, and seeds are preparing to soften and open to new life.  

 

A living example of the microcosm existing entirely within the macrocosm, and vice-versa, provides proof positive of the continuity of life, despite the comings and goings of individual cells, organisms, days and seasons.

 

It is a time for pondering the mystery of life and our inability to grasp it in its entirety, with the mind alone.  It’s a time for faith in the continuation of simple, day-to-day good works, in the anticipated promise of successful fruition in due course. 

 

New life and growth seem truly magical, like a zygote becoming a newborn, and an infant growing into a grandparent. 

 

Many opportunities to grow your seeds of Ayurveda study are sprouting now, to help provide sustenance and satisfaction along your maturing journey of self healing. 

 

Join us for programs, events and news items that suit your needs, while growing our Ayurveda community in B.C. and Canada.  

 

Long life to you, dear friend.  May Ayurveda bless your way!  

 

Spring time brings new beginnings and opportunities, while emphasizing the earth and water element, also associated with financial stability, flow and growth.

 

As the tamasic energies of winter give way to the flow of spring, lightness increases in mind and heart.

 

By acknowledging God’s own timing, while tuning into the daily morning opportunity for increase, our prayers, rituals, affirmations and faith habits bear the most empowerment, as we connect with the new sunrays and their benevolent energies of clarity, joy, celebration and increase.  These are daily built-in blessings, but are we awake to catch the rays?

 

 

*Wear gold, white and yellow colours. 

According to chromo-biotherapeutics (colour healing), these colours attract increase, under the law of like increases like.  Choose garments, jewelry and practices accordingly, while emphasizing practices in the northeast section of your living space.

 

With palms and fingers closed, thumbs at the heart. Placing all five fingertips so the whorls face one another, with the thumbs at the heart centre, helps invite a consciousness of generosity, forgiveness and gratitude. Order dispels disorder, so spend twenty minutes in your wellness prayer to re-create order.

 

*Donate some things you value to others. 

Anonymous and personal donation of useful, valuable items helps the cycle of abundance to increase, under the law of attraction. Loving kindness is always the best investment or donation and pays the richest dividends.

 

By staying in the sattvic heart centre, fear and criticism are banished, in the same way that turning on a light banishes darkness. Now the whole world looks bright, friendly and caring. Your sincere smile is worth more than other assets! Keep investing in the happiness of others, and your support increases!

 

Don’t believe me regarding these tips! Instead, examine them in the laboratory of your life, and report to me about your findings, OK?  Please remember that the experience of ‘failure’ is the foundation of success. Truth is changeless, and balanced mind, though it sounds like an oxymoron, is a key to alignment with abundance of the ever-expanding universe. 

 

 

Wishing you the spirit of service to humanity to bring you great abundance of heart!  Networking seeds and intentions planted now and followed up with your action plan, are sure to bring great good fortune!  May the longtime sunshine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you, guide your way home.

Watch this recent recording below on Dhatu Agni (Tissue Metabolism), a specialized seminar requested by the highly respected Lucy St. John, Yoga Acharya, also available on her website:  www.lucystjohnyoga.com and on the C.A.R.E. Foundation website www.canadaayurvedaresearch-educationfoundation.org.

 

This recording is available to view for FREE until April 21 2025. To view the recording after April 21st, a donation of $7 to the Canada Ayurveda Research & Education Foundation is required.

 

It’s also useful for those seeking insights into their pathogenesis or symptom progression, to help understand how a disease becomes pro-grade (development stage) and therefore how to retract or retro-grade the process and roll back symptoms, to regain wellness. 

 

It will be of great interest to those new to Ayurveda who have some basic vocabulary and want to understand metabolism more deeply, from the classic perspective. 

 

 

Thanks to dear Lucy St. John for her amazing work in Yoga & Ayurveda!  You are truly admirable!

 

“Why didn’t we learn this in elementary school? It had a huge impact on the students and me, thank you. We felt such a fulfillment from your sharing and a deep resonance with our souls. Truly, thank you for such a wonderful talk and q. & a."

Register now for this summer solstice Gurukula style seminar, becoming an annual event at my home in Surrey, BC.

 

After teaching this method internationally in India, Canada and the US, with Dr. Lad’s precious blessings, I’m now continuing the once a year, four day retreat program, to provide an immersion setting of professional fellowship and mutual support.

 

I remember Dr. Lad’s prophetic words from early in my training: “When you master the pulse reading, the Indian doctors will seek you out to learn.”  

 

Still today, graduating Ayurveda physicians in India are unable to learn this critical skill due to the large class sizes and lack of skilled, experience practitioners and teachers, nowadays.

 

This technique came to me by grace and due to my unique apprenticeship training. By the grace of God and my beloved Mentor, Vaidya Vasant D. Lad, at whose right hand this skill was passed on to me over many years. 

 

Apprenticeship was the only Ayurveda path available to me at the time, starting some 40 plus years back.  Dr. Lad’s blessing continues to increase, I’ve observed to my great astonishment and appreciation.

 

Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Assessment) is the primary skill of the Ashta Vidha Pariksha (Eight-Fold Assessment Science), learned over many years and requiring consistent practice.  It is best learned in person with individual attention.

 

Returning graduates are welcome for the four day program or the weekend only portion, with a 10% discount.

 

Program Features:   

 

Pre-requisite: Minimum of 600 hrs. of NAMA approved education or equivalent
Required Text: Secrets of the Pulse by Dr. Vasant D. Lad

Submit your application for the sign-up list now, to be sure of your place in this group, whether you are joining us for the first time, or are a returning participant. 

 

Members feel they want more and more time to understand the art and science of Pulse Assessment according to Dr. Lad.

 

For more information, please call 604-290-8201 or email  jaisri@ayurveda-seminars.com 

 Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm Pacific Time.

 

T.M., Ayurveda Practitioner 

Watch for Turiya Therapy deep healing sessions, for individual mental/emotional processing of unresolved causes of continuing health symptoms.  

 

Get to the know your own internal path of disease/wellness from within and take the reins of your recovery from the root causes in the psycho-spiritual matrix!

 

Marma Therapy and Invisible Anatomy ™ are based in my decades of study and clinical practice of Samkhiya Philosophy as the main underpinning of Ayurveda medical science.  According to Samkhiya, also underlying other Vedic sciences such as Yoga, Jyotish, and Hasta Vidhya the soul journeys from longing for individuation, to longing for reunification with the unified field of all Consciousness. 

 

Some call this all Consciousness as God, or Nature of Divinity, or Pure Primordial Light.  This inner power is available to us to help unify the unconscious, subconscious, waking consciousness and super consciousness.  The transcendent state of Turiya Therapy is within each and all to guide our way home.  Stillness is the key to accessing this level of Consciousness.

A session is generally two hours and supports your soul’s journey into your best spiritual interest.  Prepare your main concern in advance, based on your health indicators, and be prepared to discover your integrated path within to help resolve the impressions stored within your connective tissue.  Prepare to rest at home thereafter to give support to integrating your insights, realizations and resolves.

 

To book your session, please email jaisri@ayurveda-seminars.com or call 604-290-8201, Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm pacific time.

Check out the new Sponsorships page here.  You know, I’m always interested in your comments/ feedback and enquiries, and especially as this service has not been offered in almost ten years.
