AYURVEDA
The Mother of All Healing
Ayurveda, India’s ancient science of life and longevity, dates back more than 5,000 years. Known as the “Mother of All Healing,” it recognizes the body, mind, and spirit as inseparable from nature itself.
At its heart, Ayurveda teaches that health is not only the absence of disease, but the experience of living in harmony with your unique constitution (prakruti). When the ego creates separation from our true nature, imbalance arises. When balance is restored, vitality, clarity, and joy naturally follow.

DOSHAS
I want you to know I’m filled with gratitude and feel very blessed for the great gift I received yesterday. I know you are both very busy with lots on both your plates. The fact that you gave so much of your of your selves to me warmed my heart and whole being. You both took such giving and loving care of me that it made it easy for me to totally surrender to the experience. I felt so comfortable that I very quickly went into an altered state and remember little of the specifics. More importantly I experienced feeling totally safe, nurtured, and loved. I will take these feelings with me forever wherever I go and they will warm and nurture me when scared or alone. You also inspire me to be even more generous with others in my life. So often in my life, in my “ ole” as therapist and teacher, I’m in the giving role and that’s easy for me. It was wonderful to be in a place where there was nothing to give or do, other than be and receive, especially at this very challenging and vulnerable time in my life. Your gift to me is one I hold as precious. My words of gratitude and appreciation are a clumsy and inadequate attempt to reflect a felt sense, a heart sense, that words can never adequately describe. Know I’m grateful and touched in the core of my essence. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for the recipes for the shakes. Since a week I have them every morning for breakfast. And I love them! I also began to try variations with different juices and fruits considering my dosha.
I also want to share with you which effect the shakes have on my health: since I stopped having breakfast and having the shakes instead in combination with drinking black tea (sometimes with ginger) instead of green tea I have no Ama anymore (or just very little at the end of the day). My mind feels much more vital and awake during the day. My body feels light but strong all day long. It is amazing! And I can really use that “body” strength at the moment while I am in such an emotional rollercoaster!!!
Because it is very humid here at the east coast and I had the feeling that I was too hot I began to use coconut oil for the daily massage. Every morning my skin just sucks in the oil like nothing. It is amazing to see the result: it seems as if I reversed the aging process for three to five years. My skin is soft and vibrant.
Thank you with all of my heart.
