![]() Julie: Can the massive, violent fires occurring in Southern California be explained from an Ayurvedic perspective?ĭr. Then whatever the issue is in their face right now goes back into its normal proportion. All we have to do is remind people that this too will pass and that your central nature is unborn and undying and unbounded infinite and eternal. Simon: When somebody is going through a challenge they start to forget the fact that their central nature is one of wholeness and holiness and forgetting this is what causes all the pain. Julie: The Chopra Center, you, as Medical Director, actively acknowledge the spiritual aspects in healing, do you not?ĭr. So I feel that it is our responsibility as healers to help a person identify what is undigested, to loosen it from the system, to bring it into circulation, to help eliminate it and then to replace it with something that is rejuvenative. There is something else that is not completely digested. It’s not just, I ate a double cheeseburger and I’m now feeling indigestion. Simon: I have this basic assumption that if we are suffering, it is because there is some retained undigested experience. Usually there is some release and then there is a commitment to start making changes in behavior that will start to release whatever is toxic and start bringing in some nourishment.ĭr. So I go into an intuitive mode of asking questions based upon certain mythological themes that we all carry with us, to see if I can get to a place where my resonance is being manifest in that person. So if someone comes into my space and I start to feel uncomfortable, I make the assumption that I am uncomfortable because I am feeling something about this person’s body. And most of the time I am comfortable in my body. ![]() Simon: I use my body as a diagnostic technique. Then they can consciously choose as to whether it is time to let go of it or not.ĭr. Simon: I see patients one on one and I recognize that asking questions without judgment is the most powerful healing technology that I have and as a result of that people become aware of things that they are holding onto that they weren’t previously aware of. What is one of your primary approaches?ĭr. Julie: You consider yourself a nontraditional healer. We also see repeatedly that it minimizes side effects from interventions. But regardless of whether or not their disease is affected we know that there is a deep healing that takes place. Simon: The Chopra Center does a course called Return to Wholeness, which is for people with cancer and sometimes we see miraculous changes. Julie: Specifically you have done incredible work with people who have cancer.ĭr. I think all kinds of intermittent cardiac, palpitation conditions that people get put on different medications for. But I think the most direct and obvious niche for Ayurveda in the west right now is gray zone conditions where people are clearly suffering, but medicine doesn’t have a lot to offer - chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, myalgia, and also a lot of psychiatric problems like low levels of depression, insomnia, anxiety, panic. Julie: What diseases do you think that we could effectively tackle at this point in time on a large scale with an Ayurvedic approach?ĭr. It is only those who know that they want to be an orthopedic surgeon and they don’t care about anything else, and that is fine, we need good orthopedic technicians as well, who are not interested. I would say that half of them are enthusiastic about holistic and another of the remaining half are at least open. We have medical students rotating from UCSD every week now. ![]() Simon: The new generation is much more open and receptive than my generation. Julie: Is there movement in the medical community, per se?ĭr. ![]() Only in America can we think it’s not happening fast enough. ?When you think about the progress, it’s really been quite remarkable and astonishing. And, even among people who know meditation and yoga, Ayurveda is something that is pretty unfamiliar. It is really our generation who for the first time is approaching a critical mass of people who even know about meditation and yoga. This is a pretty recent shift in western consciousness. Julie: How are we coming, integrating Ayurveda into our western health care mindset?ĭr.
