Kaya Kalpa


Kaya Kalpa is the ultimate mind-body healing experience by detoxifying and
rejuvenating the body, restoring balance and well-being in all level.
 
Ayurveda is the most ancient healing system on the earth. Because of its
Mind-Body holistic approach
, it’s becoming more and more relevant to the
modern men then ever.

According to Ayurveda, our body is an expression of consciousness.
On the physical level,it is made up of the same universal ingredients as
the five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth.


In order to sustain life, we are constantly exchanging and metabolizing
these elements through food, water and air. When our
Agni (Digestive
Fire- Digestive Enzyme) is weak and cannot digest food completely,
in result, undigested toxins create imbalance on the physical level, and
undigested experiences, unprocessed and unresolved emotion
creates imbalances and stagnation on the mental level.
 
Panchakarma is a thorough and deep cleansing process used to eliminate
these toxins and to restore health, immunity, vitality and longevity.


Once the body is clean, and channels are open, Dr. Verma applies Yoga
Therapy with his unique spiritual techniques of Sound therapy (Nada)
to dissolve the deep rooted and long seated
Kleshas (Mental and
Emotional Traumas) which are the result of past
Sanskaras
(conditioning). This therapy is an initiation in spiritual guidance to
 experience and realize our true self; each participant receives his/her
unique
Sadhana (spiritual practice) individually in accordance to
his/her own unique mind-body being.

Ayurveda- The Ancient knowledge of “happy, healthy and long life”

 

Ayurveda is one of the oldest natural holistic scientific healing systems on Earth,
and has a long, well documented history of prevention and curing of diseases.
Thousands of years prior to pre-historic time, in the Himalayan Valley, this know
ledge was perceived and understood by Rishies, “the seers of wisdom”, through
their higher consciousness.

 

From that time, this Divine knowledge was transmitted orally from one millennia
to another, from one generation to another, in the form of melodious songs and
folklore. It is a beautiful stream of eternal wisdom, flowing as Santana Dharma,
all the way from the most ancient Indus Valley civilizations such as Mohenjo-Daro
and Harappa to the modern Indian subcontinent and the rest of the world. Now,
this traditional healing art, after having been scientifically researched for
hundreds of years, is available in different classical texts, written in Sanskrit,
translated into many languages and taught in different universities and medical
colleges in India and abroad.

 

The word Ayurveda consists of two Sanskrit roots, Ayur - meaning life and
Veda - meaning science, so Ayurveda means: “Science of Life”.

 

Ayurveda, as its meaning suggests – is the science of life and longevity, not just
a medical system in the conventional sense for the curing of disease, but a
complete way of life, which teaches us how to maintain and protect health,
how to create psychosomatically well immune offspring’s , how to prevent and
cure disease, and how to prolong life in a happy and healthy way.

 

Ayurveda is truly a complete holistic natural healing system, which explains the
way in which the macrocosm (Universe) mirrors the microcosm (All living beings)
and how they influence each other. Ayurveda treats man as a whole (holistically),
- combining body, mind and soul. Ayurveda explains disease as disharmony
between body, mind and consciousness, and health as harmony and balance
between them.

 

Ayurveda explains in detail how each thought and emotion influences our
physiology and how different qualities of energy levels in our internal organs
can affect and alter our mind and emotions. Ayurveda is truly a  Mind-Body
health care system  which not only describes the mind-body connection but also
prescribes the different natural methods to reintegrate it.

 

Ayurveda gives us the practical knowledge of how disharmony occurs, and how
to reestablish harmony and thus restore balance and health

 

Ayurveda uses purely natural methods including healthy, wholesome food and
life-style, natural herbs, oils and aromas as well psychic and spiritual methods
such as healing stones and gems, primordial sound, yoga, breathing exercise
(Pranayama) and meditation.

 

Ayurveda has simple, useful tips for the layman to help him keep fit
through healthy diet, healthy life style and balanced and relaxed
behavior. It also contains more detailed clinical knowledge for doctors,
healers and other health care professional.

 

Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra

 

Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra are all related to the same knowledge which was
revealed by the same group of Rishis in the same Himalayan region of India.

 

Ayurveda is the healing branch of Yoga and Tantra. Tantra and Yoga are the
spiritual aspects of Ayurveda.

 

Yoga is far more then asana or exercise as we see in the West.

Yoga helps to raise our narrow, egoistic, individual self to the level where
we can experience the vastness of higher consciousness.

 

Tantra gives us the various practical techniques of meditation to transcend
our mind and negative emotions. Tantra is far more then the mere sexual
practices which are now popular in the West. This aspect reflects only one
small branch of Tantra. Tantra is a complete system of human development
that can help us to improve all of our perspectives and awareness of life.
Tantric
practices include all sensory therapy including: Sound , Mantra,
Color, Yantra, Aroma , Chakra Healing, different types of body work ,
Marma and meditations.

Yogic and Tantric practices require a healthy body and mind.

Ayurveda provides this necessary tool for achieving the goal of Tantra and
Yoga.

 

Fundamentals of Ayurvedic Mind-Body type

 

 According to Ayurveda the universe and all living beings are made up of
five gross elements: space, air, fire, water and earth. These five elements
are the contents of cosmic consciousness, five basic energies and the five
different states of matter which have manifested through evolution from
the Purusha (soul of the Universe and male energy) and Prakrati
( Primordial matter and female energy ). These elements are common in
both living and non living things, organic and non organic existence.
They are everywhere either in gross or subtle form.

 

These five elements are represented in the body and divided into
three basic mind-body organizations, or constitutions called “Dosha”.
They are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

 

Vata - is a principle of movement and energy, Prana, vital force behind
the nervous system which governs all the movement and the functions of
the body and mind. In general, catabolic principle.

 

Pitta - principle of metabolism, which governs not only the digestive
functions, but also our mental capacity to digest, absorb and assimilate
thoughts, ideas and  concepts and transform them into pure knowledge
and intelligence. Pitta also governs our body temperature.

 

Kapha - principle of comprehension and growth. Governs the structure
 of the body, through cell division and growth of the tissues. It also
governs our emotions like love, compassion, etc. in general anabolic
principle.

 

These 3 mind-body principles govern all our anatomical, physiological,
pathological and psychological functions. Ayurveda believes that as
long as they are balanced and in a  state of harmony, a person is
healthy and happy.

Disharmony and aggravation in the Dosha is the main cause of
discomfort and dis-ease in the body and mind.

 

Each of us possess these 3 life factors - Vata, Pitta and Kapha in our
psycho-physical makeup. Vata gives us energy, vitality and motivation,
Pitta gives us warmth and the capacity to transform substance and
assimilate it in the body while Kapha makes up the structure of our
body and emotions, our flesh, bones all bodily fluids.

 

Each of us has a unique genetic combination of these Doshas, which
are transmitted from parents to offspring.  At the time of
fertilization, the combination and domination of one or two Doshas
from the sperm in man and ova in woman, determine our
psycho-somatic individual constitution, which is called “Prakrati”.
This domination of Doshas greatly influences the characteristic
feature of the embryo throughout his life. If Vata is predominant
then the person is called Vata type. This follows for Pitta and
Kapha as well. According to permutation and combination there
are 7 different body types - 3 dual types (Vata-Pitta, Pitta-Kapha,
Kapha-Vata), 3 mono types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), and one triple
Tridosic
type (Vata-Pitta-Kapha).

 

To understand ourselves as a whole it is very crucial to know
our body type because our health and illness, emotional responses,
diet, life style, behavior, relationship, are all inherent in our
unique body type. In Ayurvedic diagnosis it is very crucial to know
what type of person has the disease. What type of disease the
person has is a secondary consideration. This constitutional approach
is the essence of Ayurveda.  Each body type has some specific
characteristics according to the domination of doshas.

 

Some of them are as follows

 

Characteristics of Vata type

\    Light thin body, narrow wrist, shoulder and pelvic.

\    Walk fast, talk fast, and perform every activity fast.

\    Irregular habits, hunger and digestion.

\    Light sleep and tends to insomnia.

\    Low stamina, tires easily.

\    Excitable, hyperactive mind.

\    Learns fast, but also forgets fast

\    Tends to have constipation and pain in the body.

\     Tends to worry and be anxious.

 

Characteristics of Pitta type

\    Medium body frame.

\    Sharp hunger and thirst, strong digestion.

\    Tends to have acidity, diarrhea or skin problem.

\    Suffer more in sun and hot weather. Tends to have hair
           problems, premature graying and baldness.

\    Sharp intellect and understanding.

\    Tends toward anger, irritation, impatience and jealousy.

 

Characteristics of Kapha Type

\    Big body frame, tends to gain weight fast, slow to loose it.

\    Slow digestion, low metabolism.

\    Slow walk, slow talk, and tranquil relaxed personality.

\    Smooth cool and oily skin.

\    Tolerant, forgiving, compassionate nature.

\    Tends to over attachment and possessiveness

 

All body types have their negative and positive characteristics and
attributes. The positive nature exhibits itself spontaneously when
they are in balance. Negative characteristics show  up in the
imbalanced Dosha

 

 What are the causes of imbalance?

 

Improper unwholesome food (Ahar), life style (Vihar), behavior(Achar),
thinking and relationship(Vichar), aggravate the Dosha and this aggravated
Dosha causes imbalance to the Agni (digestive fire) - the power of digestion.
This impaired digestion cannot digest food properly and produces toxins,
which are called Ama. This Ama is an undigested residue of food, which
clogs the energy flow on both physical and mental levels and creates
disharmony-discomfort in body-mind. This is one of the main causes of many
types of diseases. In Ayurveda, proper and balanced digestion is the key to
health, vitality and longevity.

 

 Diagnosis and treatment in Ayurveda

 

In Ayurvedic diagnosis, the physician diagnoses the whole personality,
the physical, mental and spiritual health simultaneously. Pulse diagnosis,
one of the most important examinations in Ayurveda, allows the physician
to determine the  physical diagnosis of the body type, state of the
physical and energy level of the internal organs and Dosha constitution –
its balance or disharmony.

 

The first objective in Ayurvedic treatment is to remove the root cause of
the disease by correcting the improper food habits and life style.
Secondly, to eliminate the Ama, the toxin from the deep tissue, Ayurveda
offers a purification program called Panchakarma.    

 

 What is Panchakarma?

 

Panchakarma (five purification methods) is a very unique therapy which

includes relaxing herbal oil massages, steam baths and different kinds of

cleansing herbal enemas etc. Panchakarma is a rejuvenation program which

balances the Doshas and Agni and provides deep relaxation for the body-mind.

Many scientific studies have shown that Panchakarma balances biochemistry,

improves cardio-vascular risk factors, reduces stress and free radicals,

strengthens immunity, increases flexibility and retards the aging process.

 

During a two week to one month long Panchakarma package program a person

easily goes into deep relaxation as rhythmically warm oil Abhiyanga

(Ayurvedic Massage) is introduced to his entire body. The invigorating and

revitalizing effects of rubbing special herbal oil in a specific pattern of hand

movements generates “Agni or metabolic fire which melts, dissolves, softens,

loosens and draws out toxins from deep tissues. Following this, a penetrating

and soothing herbal steam bath “Swedanais applied which liquidifies the toxins

and gently draws them out from the body, thereby relaxing the muscles and joints.

 

 For deep relaxation, removing mental stress and related problems like insomnia,

migraine etc., Shirodhara is a treatment consisting of a soothing stream of

warm oil poured on the forehead (third eye area). Nowadays Shirodhara is well

known for its extremely tranquil effects on the nervous system, hyperactive mind

and producing a meditative bliss.

 

There are some other cleansing treatments which can be applied according

to the individual’s constitutional body type including:  Basti “Ayurvedic

Enemas” which remove toxins from the colon. Nasya- a rejuvenating facial

massage is followed by herbal nose drops which open the nasal passages,

increases the intake of oxygen and Prana, the vital energy that gives us

clarity of perception and lightness, as well as easing headaches

and migraines.

 

 Ayurvedic bodywork that includes different kinds of massages with a

variety of aromatic essential oils or herbal oils is known as "Ayurvedic

Neuromuscular Therapy" which can be a part of Panchakarma. 

This therapy is a unique type of body work performed on the junction

points of Body - Mind – Consciousness. It is known as Marma and helps

to release life-long physical and emotional traumas, which are trapped

in our bodies as unresolved memories. 

 

Ayurveda can help many types of chronic and incurable diseases, such as 

asthma, bronchitis, allergy, skin problems, fatigue, diabetes, obesity,

Stress, memory-disorders, arthritis, gout, insomnia, sexual-problems,

impotency, sterility, habitual abortion, etc.

 

Ayurvedic therapy can be easily combined with conventional treatment

as an adjuvant therapy.

Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy

 

Yoga and Ayurveda both have the same complementary approach towards Swastha

(health) and Cikitsa (healing) on a very deep level. According to Yoga, a Moodh- Kchipta

 (Disturbed state of mind) or any negative internal or external stimuli (Klesha) creates

a Psycho-physiological disturbance (Vikchepa). This leads to a state of miserable

distress (Dukha-Daurmanasya) of the organism and affects the flow of Prana

(Swasa-Praswasa) which manifests as Vyadhi (via-a dha-out of track).This phenomenal

fact described beautifully in the thirty-first sutra of first section of Yoga-Sutra of

Patanjajali. By practicing different steps of yoga a practitioner creates a Nirudhi

(Transcendental state of mind) which leads to Samadhi (Sama-a-dha- to put together

as one whole). Samadhi is the state of being, integrated functioning homeostasis,

a psycho-somatic balance, where the person returns to his own original form (Swaroop),

only then is he really Swastha (healthy).

 

My grandfather Vaidhya Munnalal Verma a celebrated Yogi and dedicated Ayurvedic

Physician, successfully used these Yogic-Ayurvedic approaches in his clinical practice

for years and it has been an fundamental source of my further understanding on

the subject.

 

To bring real Samadhi and Swastha I found a beautiful and profound integrated

Ayurvedic and yogic approach, consisting of four comprehensive steps.

 

Understanding the human psyche on a deep level through right knowledge (vidhya),

in order to cultivate the correct psychological attitudes. This Vedic knowledge

reveals that we are not only a physical machine of biochemical processes or only

a psychological victims of socio-religious conditioning, but we are a conscious

being which can be aware and rise from our narrow, egoistic, limited personality

to on that level where we can experience unlimited vastness of our true being,

which is beyond the suffering and the pain. To give a complete and comprehensive

picture of human psyche and to take us out from physicality of Maya, this Vedic

knowledge describes how every human being made up of seven different bodies

including our physical and mental body and how these different body functions

together in order to sustain the organism. When we can peel  all covering of

 different bodily  layer of our soul then we can realize that Raga ( wrong

attachment with Maya) is one of the main cause of Roga ( disease) and can be

dealt with by Abhyas (constant de-conditioning practice) and Vairagya

(conscious living).

 

 

1.              Reconditioning of the neuro-muscular and neuro-glandular system through

different practice of Yoga which enhances physical and mental immunity.

Now it has been established in the medical community that Ayurveda, yoga and

Tantra all these eastern sciences are the first and the best mind-body medicine

ever known to human mind. They described beautifully how  every mental or

emotional trauma accumulate as a complex node on the different  vital organ

and Neuro-musculo-skelaton system, which greatly influence on our posture

and how we hold our body.. And when posture is distorted then Prana can not

move freely in the Nadi (Pranic Chenal). This distortion in posture can be

corrected through Asana and other Yogic practices.       

 

2.             Swastha-Vrata- Ayurvedic health regimen of a healthy lifestyle,

wholesome satvic diet, encouraging the natural process of elimination,

the avoidance of the suppression of natural urges. All this Ayurvedic

healthy regimen and life style is  understanding and  following one's

natural bio-rhythms tailoring it to the cosmic- rhythms. Because, ultimately

our personality is made up of four things; what and how we eat (Ahar),

how we spend our time (Vihar), what we think (Vichar) and how we relate

to each other (Achar).

 

4.  Special Yogic practices to regulate the Pancha Vayu (five kinds of main

 vital energy or SubVata Dosa). All Yogic practices of Asana, Pranayama,

bandha, mudra, kriya, connect to one or two specific Pancha Vayu and

regulate the flow of Prana. According to Ayurveda, any disease or discomfort

is the result of the flow of one or other Pancha Vayu going out of track

(Vyadhi).  Ayurveda is the detective tool for tracing the imbalanced Vayu

and Yoga and Tantra are excellent therapeutic means to balance it.

 

While I was living and studying at a well known scientific and literary

research institute of Yoga, Kaivalyadhama, India, I realized this

integrated and very practical diagnostic and therapeutic fact of

Ayurveda and Yoga about Pancha-Vayu. Ayurveda elegantly describes

these Pancha Vayu as Sub Vata Dosha and there is a detailed

description of how to diagnose their Dusti (Disturbed state) but the

 treatment is mainly on a physical and gross level. On other hand in

Yoga there is not that much clear description about Diagnosis of these

Pancha-Vayu but whole Hatha Yoga is the play of these five life

energies on a very deep and subtle level. In fact, in yoga any desired

movement or transformation, either kundilini awakening or opening

of Chakra or performing a simple asana (posture), can not be established

without involving the Pancha Vayu. For example, disturbed Udan Vayu

can create coughing, vomiting, reflex problem on a physical level and

psychological or emotional level it can create lack of self-expression,

lack of enthusiasm or arrogance, throat and heart chakra related

problems etc. This disturbed Udana can be diagnosed by Ayurvedic

diagnostic methods and can be managed by those Yogic practices

where the emphasis is given to Udan Vayu, posture like Bhujangasana,

bandha like Uddiyana bandha, mudra like Viparit karani and kriya

like Kapalbhati etc.

 

These four steps are the essence of Yoga Therapy. They are not only

dealt  with disease but they are also an comprehensive means to Sadhaka,

to understand Yoga on very deep level and provides the right tools to

experience the ultimate aim of Yoga-“ Samadhi”, an ultimate  balance.

Jamun Tree ( syzigium cummini)  Herbal medicine for diabetes-   

from India to Israel

  There is an old eastern parable, one old beggar died, He had
been sitting side by a road and begged all his life, on the
same place and never cleaned it. After his death the place
was cleaned and while the dirty mud was removed, they
found an old treasure. The man was begging all his life for
pennies, completely unaware about the precious treasure
underneath him.

 Of course the story is a beautiful parable to indicate our
ignorance for spiritual treasure which is within us. Also, we
have so much natural treasure around us and we are not
aware about it. The nature which is sours of our being,
nourishes us through food, water and air must have answer
for our ill health. Plants brings to us the nourishing power
of sun and moon, the Prana, the cosmic energy which not
only used by our each and individual cell for living but also it
maintain and allow to grow our astral body. Through
science we know how the plants make the food and tied up
with sunlight energy and make ready to available this solar
energy to our each and every cell to sustain the life.
That’s how the Plants make ready to available the external
solar system to inner solar system into living beings.  
They are an alive transmuting media of cosmic force,
messengers which passes energy and information, love and
compassion from cosmos to our DNA molecule, from
macrocosm to the microcosm.

 One of the great spiritual doctrines from India Chandogya
Upanishad Says: “The essence of all beings is earth.
The essence of the earth is water. The essence of water is
the plants. The essence of plants is the human being”.

  Our ancestors recognized this fact, plants are deep down
grounded in nature connected to with water and earth,
standing silently on one place, seems passive  but actively
inhaling and exhaling the cosmic love and nurturing emotions
and passing them to all living beings as it is. For plants it’s
easier because of their egoless state of being. One Sanskrit
synonym for plants is Osadhi which literally means
“Transformer of intelligence”.  

This healing touch of nature in the plants recognized by
modern botanist as “Phytochemical”

  According to them, Phytochemicals are the known biologically
active substance in the plants which gives them color, flavor,
fragrance and natural disease resistance. Many researches
show their powerful role in prevention and curing the different
diseases. For example, a phytochemical called “sulphoraphane”
found in broccoli helps to take out the carcinogen molecule
from the cell and prevent cancer. Now scientists have been
able to isolate some phytochemicals and number of companies
now selling theses concentrates phytochemical in the form of
pills obtained from various fruits and vegetables. Although these
substance can be use as supplements on some extent but they
can not be seen as replacement for fresh whole foods from
nature’s baskets. The substance which seems to inactive
ingredients to the scientists today was recognized by our
ancestors Rishi of Ayurveda as subtle energetic enzyme,
containing the digestive fire which may necessary to combust
the phytochemicals and made available to the body in such a
precise way that after their digestion, they would not leave
any toxic waste in the body.

  According to Ayurveda, the ancient medical system from India,
taking only active ingredients from the plants, would be recognized
as taking knowledge and leaving wisdom behind.

 One of the treasures from nature’s basket is Jamun or Jambolan
tree (SYZIGIUM CUMINI) or (Eugenia cumini) which is not only
popular for its juicy sweet-astringent fruits but also gaining
popularity for its medicinal uses. The most popular Indian sweet
Gulab Jamun
is named after the fruit of this tree. It is a fast
growing tree ranges up to 100 m in India and 40 to 50 m in Israel.     

Thousands of years it has been used for its medicinal property
in Indian subcontinent as a folk medicine and well documented
in the pharmaceutical books of Ayurveda.  And now it is drawing
attention to the scientist for its hypoglycemic affect.

  Jamun is native in India, Burma, Ceylon and the Andaman Islands.
When I discovered it in Israel I surprised that how we are so
unaware about this nature’s treasure in Israel. According to one
survey it was introduced to Israel perhaps around 1940, it grows
vigorously here, valued as an ornamental tree but completely
ignored for its special flavored delicious fruits and its miraculous
medicinal value. Although other part of the world, especially in Asia,
Jamun
is more recognized for its Pharmaceutical value then any
other field. Almost all the parts of the tree, fruits, seeds, leaves,
bark poses medicinal value. 

Leaves: Jamun has 2.5 to 10 cm wide in oblong –oval shape
evergreen with turpentine smell. The leaves are antibacterial
and used in dysentery, vomiting and skin disease.

Flowers: have sweet fragrant, white-pinkish color, small funnel-shaped,
blooms in March up to May. Fully bloomed flowers are full of nectar
consumed by honey bee, produce fine quality of honey and are useful
for apiculture. 

Fruits: their size is as of big olives, green in the beginning and later
turn to purple, and become black as they ripen. The ripe fruit is
stomachic, carminative, diuretic, astringent and used in bilious
diarrhea. 

The Pulp of the fruits is purple, very juicy with sweet- astringent taste.
The pulp of ripen fruit can be cooked as delicious Avaleha (jam) and
used to reduce acute diarrhea and good for IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome). 

Vinegar: made out of Jamun fruit juice has beautiful violet color.
Besides Its use as vinegar it is also used to strengthen the stomach,
liver and reducing enlarged spleen. 

The Ashava (herbal wine): To make Ayurvedic Herbal wine a yeast
culture is added to the fresh juice of Jamun with some other herbs
and allowed it to ferment for a period of time. This Jamun wine is
used for reducing diarrhea and Diabetes. 

Bark: is astringent and shows antibacterial properties, used as
gargles for sore throat and strengthens the gums and teeth.

 Seeds: The powder of the seeds shows a significant hypoglycemic
effect (reducing high blood sugar). In Ayurveda It has been used
for thousands of years as one of the important ingredients in any
Ayurvedic
compound for diabetes.

 

 In India, a clinical trial was conducted on 80 patients of non insulin
dependant diabetes mellitus. All the patients were treated with the
seed powder, 12 gram per day, in three divided doses for 3 months.
There was significant symptomatic relief along with regulation of
blood sugar. It did not show any side affect. Other study shows,
it can be used as adjuvant with conventional medicine where
diabetes type II is not responding well to conventional medicine. 

Besides the physiological effect, the clinical study shows its positive
influence on the mind and emotion. It works as a potent CNS
depressant agent as it shows by alteration of general behavior,
reduction in hyperactive, reduction in exploratory behavior, reduce
of aggressive behavior,  hypothermia, muscle relax tent and analgesic.
This shows the wholesome and Psycho-somatic love of the
compassionate nature through Plants.

 According to Ayurveda – The science of life and ancient medical
wisdom of India, Food is the best medicine. Most of the Ayurvedic
medicine are the food substance and consumed as tea, soup,
salad, jam. Vinegar, wine etc. Ayurvedic pharmacopeias is very rich.
There is thousands of herbs use as a single herb and as well
hundreds of herbal compound.  Ayurvedic herbal preparation
emphasizes not only to keep the natural form of the herbs but
even increase its property by mixing some other herbs together
as catalyst.
