Ayurvedic massage courses
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which literally means "The science of long life." It is also known as the science of digestion and the science of self-healing. The World Health Organization recognizes Ayurveda as one of the top three medical systems in America. Ayurveda heals the root of the dis-ease, rather than focusing on the alleviation of symptoms. Modalities include nutritional and lifestyle changes, ayurvedic massage, herbs, yoga, meditation, mantra, mindfulness, sound, color, crystal and aroma therapy. Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. During the Ayurvedic massage courses we use oil that is treated with medicinal herbs. The massage is done on a massage table. There are many techniques to warm up the body and to loosen up tensions. The body becomes more smoothly and increases in energy. The combination between massage techniques, the medicated ayurvedic massage oil and a massage which is adapted to the body, ensures that your body and mind become entirely balanced. During the ayurvedic massage courses you'll learn by demonstration and practising on each other. You will learn the techniques of ayurvedic massage one step at a time, until you're able to give a full ayurvedic massage. You'll receive a comprehensive handbook ‘Ayurvedic massage’. The Ayurvedic massage courses are suitable for beginners and for more experienced people. Benefits of ayurvedic massage are:

starts every morning with a yoga session. The word yoga,
from the Sanskrit word yuj means to yoke or bind
and is often interpreted as "union" or a method of
discipline. A male who practices yoga is called a yogi, a
female practitioner, a yogini. The Indian sage Patanjali is
believed to have collated the practice of yoga into the
Yoga Sutra an estimated 2,000 years ago. The Sutra
is a collection of 195 statements that serves as a
philosophical guidebook for most of the yoga that is
practiced today. It also outlines eight limbs of yoga: the
yamas (restraints), niyamas
(observances), asana (postures),
pranayama (breathing), pratyahara
(withdrawal of senses), dharana (concentration),
dhyani (meditation), and samadhi
(absorption). As we explore these eight limbs, we begin by
refining our behavior in the outer world, and then we focus
inwardly until we reach samadhi (liberation,
enlightenment). Today most people practicing yoga are
engaged in the third limb, asana, which is a program of
physical postures designed to purify the body and provide
the physical strength and stamina required for long periods
of meditation.
The ability to see any event,
any object from a viewpoint of the cosmic whole, from
it's culmination - the seed, the flower, the
fruit in relation to the whole. The knowing of something
without prior knowledge or the use of reason. All
stands revealed the hearts, the motives, the causes of all
events. All is open to the person. Intuition can be
said to be a comprehensive grip of the principles of
universality. A person who develops intuition can know
anything, without the barriers of time, space and any other
obstructions. Every second day of this spiritual holidays
is devoted to intuition development.
If you want to live a more fulfilled life,
first you will want to know your potential, who you really
are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the
methodology of the science of awareness. The beauty of the
inner science is that it enables whoever wants to explore
and to experiment within, to do so alone. This eliminates
dependence on an outer authority, the need to be affiliated
with any organization and the obligation to accept a
certain ideology. Once you understand the steps, you walk
the walk in your own, individual way. Meditation plays a
central role in the ayurvedic massage courses.
