Progression of a Condition

In learning to analyze Samprapti, or the progression of disease, we look to the signs and symbols that created them, to the Causative Factors where the Dosha, or mistake, began. The mind alone cannot reconcile differences. It is in standing in the place of detached compassion, in service to humanity, the higher ground to which it all points is acheived.

Warts and all

Suffering and loving one’s self, “warts and all." builds a reservoir of practices that can be shared with others. The symptoms are ones that get our attention. We hone our skills in picking up the subtlest vibrations of being out of balance. Navigating the currents of this fine balance brings the wisdom that translates into a repertoire of practices.

Different as Snowflakes

It’s not that we are all the same, for we are as different as snowflakes, but together we make a tapestry of a single vision that we cannot find in isolation. Isolation was a coping mechanism that no longer worked. Reaching from the mind did not create solutions. The mind is constantly seeking an answer or a way, the key that will unlock the mystery. It is in the heart where the answers are found.

Head and Heart

In Chinese medicine it is the head and the heart that relate to one another. They are the same. In Ayurveda the Head bows down to the heart. In Intuitive Medicine the belly is the second brain, the brain chemistry being equal in the gut as in the brain.

Reeling it In

The mystery stands on it’s own. We allow it. We go along unconsciously and then “suddenly” a condition arises. Maybe it’s something we were unable or unwilling to see at first. It keeps niggling at us until we reel it in.

This realization from the depths doesn’t always feel or look pleasant. It may have pathology. It may be a dis-ease. Something keeps nibbling on the line of our awareness until it raises to the surface. Maybe it jumps into our boat. Finally we see it.

Care

In Ayurveda we take time to sit with the client for an hour to take an inventory of the signs and symptoms. Then a Samprapti or blue print is sketched for the client and a practice laid out for the client to follow. Our job as practitioners is to be able to interpret the signs in a definitive picture of the moment, describing the condition, mapping and drawing out a program to unwind the cause and bring balance to the client. This type of care is missing from Western medicine at this time where clients are given ten minutes and the “problems” are often “cut out.”


How to Make Friends

A conversation gets to happen with the energy, or entity or even a description of the Dosha. mistake, disease, condition. Many words are trying to describe one thing. There is only one things going on. All the signs are pointing back to “It,” the cause. We build a Nidhana map. We lay it out. We catch something in the description of the condition that leads us to a beginning of sorts. From that emerges a picture.

The conversation with it might go like this: “ Energy, we can live together in harmony. I am not going to kill you. I recognize you and I have a symbiotic relationship and offer you a truce. If you kill me, you kill you. Let’s work out a an agreement where you are minimize, I recover, and we can co-exist.”

Creating the Atmosphere of Love

Our job as Ayurvedic Practitioners is to create an atmosphere for anything that might arise in our consultations with our clients. Initially we discover this thing within ourselves we are able to interpret self-knowledge into an intuitive practice that offers a beacon of hope to our clients. This might look like a centre, or attention to detail in our healing environment

Our own life is a reflection of what we offer our client: a wonderful room that is attractive and relaxing; offering the comforts of tea and soft music; taking into consideration color, aromatherapy and artwork: all these subtle things create a vibration in which healing can occur. The client does the healing; we offer the context for that healing. From our knowledge rises the possibility of another way, or outcome.

Reflective Universe Theory

The body is plastic, like “silly putty,” it receives the impression of the environment that creates it at every moment. Learning how to change the course of any condition relies on the level of understanding of the individual. Initially there is the need for practices that lend themselves towards balance. Having a dedicated practice and creating the harmony in one’s environment goes a long way to reversing any current that is contrary to well being.


Attacking or resisting problems only make them worse, add to the original causes thus creating friction.” Evil is sufficient unto the day,” so the saying goes. Wrong use of intelligence is the Ayurvedic term. We try to use the mind to escape the problem. However, the problem ca not be solved at the level it was created upon. A new understanding gets to happen. The dis-ease has progressed from cause, to overflow, to other tissues and organ systems, by the time we are aware of it.

Common Sense

Common sense is something that seems to have gone astray in everyday life. When there is the common cold we kept he core warm by drinking warm liquids, and melting the heavy unctuous conditions that support it. When someone is aggravated we seek to bring that condition back into balance versus getting rid of it. As is always the case, we never get rid of anything, but seek in every moment to remember our selves in a state of harmony and balance. Don’t forget Love. Love is the matrix, the under pinning upon which all of life is fastened, not matter how it appears. When we get back to the kernel of Love we have arrived at the beginning of it all.
