The nature of change
Initiate Tours expeditions take a look at the real nature of what making a change in your life is all about. We delve into the change process, the in-built resistance to change that most of us have acquired through living our lives and the sub-conscious concepts towards capabilities and limitations that create the stumbling blocks to making much needed changes
There is no ‘one thing’, ‘key’ or ‘secret’ to life. Change is the only certainty in life
All ancient cultures adopted their own form of initiations for the progression and development through each distinct stage of life. This has been abandoned in today’s society and culture. As a result people are suffering, searching for ways to achieve colour, texture and substance to their life
Be the change you desire
Did nature really intend us to sit in a dimly lit air-conditioned concrete box for 8 or more hours a day, 6 days a week? Unlikely, but this is a fact of life for many of us in today’s frantic consumerism filled world
We are taught from a very young age to get in our boats and paddle as hard and as fast as we can. We fill ourselves up with ‘things’ that do not satisfy us in any meaningful way.Not only are we alienated from each other, we have lost touch with ourselves
There is in fact nothing to find or acquire yet everything to discover
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. Ayurveda, ‘ayus' (meaning life) and ‘ved' (meaning knowledge) offers a rich holistic science of living a healthy life. Its origins stem from 5000 year old Indian Vedic wisdoms. Spiritual ‘rishis’ laid the foundations of the Vedic civilization in India by organising the fundamentals of life into proper systems and includes internal and external medicine
Ayurveda is not simply a health care system but a form of lifestyle geared towards the achievement and maintenance of perfect balance and harmony. According to Ayurvedic principles, all living things are comprised of the Atma (Soul), Mana (Mind), Indriya (Senses) and Sharira (Body). These in turn revolve around the five basic elements of life being Fire, Air, Water, Earth and Ether. Every living thing is assimilated from these 5 elements that make up an individuals Prakriti (constitution). Every Prakriti is sub-categorised as the 3 main energies known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
In an Ayurvedic lifestyle consultation you will learn what your particular Prakriti is and any imbalances that may exist. We will provide you with lifestyle suggestions and tools to bring your soul, mind, body and senses into alignment facilitating a general improvement to your health and wellbeing. This encompasses the physical body, emotional growth, and spiritual wisdoms, career advice and other practical tools such as meditation, mantras etc.
