Healing Psychological Trauma

Vasant Lad, BAMS, MASc
February 1 – 3, 2008

The baby in the mother’s womb is always full of light but, when born, the baby forgets the light within, gets lost in the world, and becomes conditioned. Ayurveda provides holistic therapies and practices that can help us to release traumas that are deeply rooted in the past and that influence our own awakening. Ayurveda shows us a simple way to unfold the light within.
