Ayurveda teaches us many different bodywork modalities, including oil massage called Abhyanga. Abyhanga is a Sanskrit word meaning “to rub the limbs”, usually with warm herbal oil. Abhyanga massage soothes, softens and lubricates the bodily tissues so that toxins are released. Abhyanga is the external application of therapeutic and rejuvenating natural oils with movements that respect the physiology or digestion, assimilation and elimination. The massage becomes a medium for divine grace and healing when the practitioner brings attention to their third eye and the moment-to-moment flow of their pranas.

While studying and embracing the Veda, your life can begin to transform, magic can unfold, and sometimes you may experience a healing crisis before the healing actually manifests. It can be seen thru endings, you may lose friends/people that have been toxic, purifications such as a flu or cold or some sort of illness as well as other symptoms. Know and trust these events are unfolding to make room for the new you. In some cases, students may not experience any of these symptoms at all, too, so keep your fingers crossed. Reading Vedic literature can raise your vibration, and help you connect to your spirit and dharma on deeper levels.  Welcome to the world of the Veda and all the sacredness that it brings.
