Ayurveda & Ritual

R I T U A L S

According to Āyurveda & yoga - ritual is a major healing practice in itself. Putting us in a proper frame of mind to receive the energies of our deeper consciousness.

Rituals are important in any psychological treatment because they bring the body & senses aligned to the intention of the healing process. Providing a positive “impression “ to nourish & heal the mind. A strong immunity & nervous system is not just about the food we put in our body - but the mental food, the impressions we take through the senses - sight, touch, smell, sound & taste all balance the subtle body ..

= ritual heals !

Make life your practice 🤍
