Take This Webinar If…

You are interested in learning more about the Ayurvedic framing of psychological trauma and how you can help yourself or those you support.

You are a student or a practitioner of Ayurveda yourself, looking to learn additional insights from a master with over 50 years of experience in Ayurvedic practice.

You are a medical or healthcare professional interested in learning how certain Ayurvedic techniques and methods can further support your clients or patients.

For thousands of years Ayurvedic practitioners have highlighted how the mind influences our physical and emotional well being. This same trend is being noticed in current medical research around trauma and its undeniable link to chronic disease. Our psychological trauma literally lives within our bodies as much as our minds - and healing from these experiences requires treating the entire being.

The mind plays an essential role in understanding, processing, and acting in the best interest of ourselves and those around us. When our mind is not well, it is hard to ‘feel’ well, and make the right choices in our journey toward balance.

In its framing of the mind, Ayurveda describes the fundamental characteristics of how emotions and thoughts are processed through the antakarana - the equipment of the mind. When this process is disturbed it means we cannot properly process and reintegrate our experiences - and just like unprocessed food in our gut, this can lead to other health ailments and illnesses.

What is Antahkarana?

Antaḥkaraṇa - Antaḥ means "inner" and karaṇa means "instrument" - is a concept in Ayurvedic and Yogic philosophy, referring to the entirety of the mind - ranging from the thinking aspect, to the sense of self or “I”, and the faculty for discrimination.

Antahkarana covers all the functions of the mind, namely the manas (the mind or lower mind), buddhi (the intellect or higher mind), chitta (memory, or image making), and ahamkara (the ego / “I”-self). In this way, Antahkarana refers to the entire psychological process, all the mind levels functioning as a unit, with all parts working together as a whole.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Anka Hoerster

I feel like not just my work as nurse but also my life in a human body has become so much more fluid, translucent and trusting. There is so much more that I need to learn before I’ll be able to effectively support others with the introduction you gave here, but every time I apply some of it already the results are so confirming and sometimes like magic.

Pavani

Overall, I cannot thank enough Dr. Lad and entire AyurPrana team for this amazing process and support. In nearly 14yrs, this is the longest spell of feeling better without dreading the next relapse. This has also allowed me to reap the benefits of my sadhana to remain in awareness. I am beating up myself for not doing this sooner! Will continue this journey…..

Pranayama Participant

I loved the ways in which you explained things to us, the joy and the good energy you transmitted. Thank you so so much! And I am grateful to Dr. Lad, such an honor to practice with him and learn from his expertise! This immersion was worth every cent, glad that I overcame the stingyness of doing something just for myself.
