In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj unpacks the concept of spiritual bypassing that uses spirituality to avoid reality.

Topics Covered:

Spirituality as a Tool for Understanding Reality

Embracing Life’s Cycles: Creation & Destruction

BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE 

What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. 

Recently I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
