Health Concept
As depicted by our logo we take a holistic approach towards health. Our believe is that a problem or imbalance caused in one area will have an effect on the whole system. According to Vedic Scriptures at the centre of attention is the soul, also called Atma in Sanskrit. It is considered as our “true self” that expands beyond our existence in the manifest world. When our soul lives in tune with the soul of all souls, also called Brahma, we are at our highest bliss. The unification and identification with the highest vibrations, here called Brahma, and the surrendering of hurt and disillusionment to the “higher plane”, frees us from destructive thoughts and emotions that have a negative impact on our overall wellbeing. Since the bliss of the soul affects the mind and the body to such an extent, most therapeutic work aims at reconnecting the Atma, our true self, with the Brahma, the “overall soul”. This process of release gives peace and tranquillity to the mind and spirit and makes our whole being more resistant to negative energy vibrations that could penetrate our aura, that is, our subtle energy body, and cause disease and illness.
According to the Vedic scriptures it is our senses that make us prey to sickness and illness. Hence what has “befallen us” through our senses, can also be “redeemed” through our senses. We adhere to the belief and principle that our senses can sustain the process of healing and well-being. Basically, we believe that through the conscious use of our senses for healing purposes, our mind has the power to “construct” our health.
We sustain that through gentle therapeutic interventions such as Massage, Yoga, Mediation, Mantra Recitation and consciousness work our health and well-being can greatly be improved and restored. Ayurveda as a concept targets all areas of life and as such the therapeutic interventions mentioned in the Vedas are applicable to a wide range of problems in life.
We acknowledge that health and illness are social constructs and hence differ from society to society and belief system to belief system.
Our approach is based on the Vedic Scriptures; at no time do we maintain that this is the only acceptable “construction of the reality of health or sickness”. We are aware of, and accept that, for other cultures and belief systems, other principles and philosophies hold true.
