the <strong>healing</strong> power of ayurveda<br />
the five thous<strong>an</strong>d year-old <strong>healing</strong> system of India.<br />
Ayurveda – the science of life – is founded on the principle that health is<br />
more th<strong>an</strong> the absence of disease. Rather, health is a dynamic, integrated<br />
state of bal<strong>an</strong>ce in body, mind <strong>an</strong>d spirit. To achieve this bal<strong>an</strong>ce, Ayurveda<br />
encourages us to be conscious choice makers, for our experiences become<br />
our biology. Learning to minimize toxic input <strong>an</strong>d maximize nourishing<br />
experiences in our minds <strong>an</strong>d bodies enh<strong>an</strong>ces our ability to create health<br />
<strong>an</strong>d happiness in our lives <strong>an</strong>d in those around us.<br />

physical wellness<br />
Everything that we ingest through our five senses influences our<br />
physiology. What we hear, how we are touched, what we see, what we taste<br />
<strong>an</strong>d what we smell c<strong>an</strong> reinforce or disrupt our healthy bal<strong>an</strong>ce. Ayurveda<br />
encourages each of us to seek experiences that are harmonizing to our<br />
senses in support of optimal emotional <strong>an</strong>d physical wellbeing.<br />
Underst<strong>an</strong>ding both our unique <strong>an</strong>d shared qualities enables us to<br />
free ourselves from life-damaging behaviors <strong>an</strong>d consciously engage in<br />
life-supporting ones.<br />

Instructor Certification<br />
Primordial Sound Meditation is a<br />
powerful practice for bringing peace of mind<br />
into your life <strong>an</strong>d experiencing spiritual<br />
awakening. It derives from the yogic<br />
tradition of India, which focuses on<br />
achieving a blissful union of mind, body <strong>an</strong>d<br />
spirit. A regular meditation practice helps us<br />
go beyond the inner turbulence of the mind<br />
into the pure silence of unbounded<br />
awareness. M<strong>an</strong>y studies have shown that<br />
meditation is good for lowering blood<br />
pressure, quieting the mind, releasing stress<br />
<strong>an</strong>d strengthening the immune system.<br />

revived the <strong>an</strong>cient practice of<br />
Primordial Sound Meditation <strong>an</strong>d<br />

c<strong>an</strong> easily learn. <strong>The</strong> essential timeless<br />
teachings have been maintained in their<br />
pure, original form, ensuring the most<br />
beneficial experience.<br />
Another wonderful aspect of meditation is<br />
that when you teach people how to do it,<br />
the benefits of your own personal practice<br />
are magnified m<strong>an</strong>y times over.<br />
