Sister Science Lesson 5
Ayurvedic Cleansing & Detoxification

Design your personal Ayurvedic cleanse

Lesson Objectives

In today’s lesson you will learn how to design and implement a cleansing protocol expertly tailored to your unique needs. Start where you are, and give yourself permission to start small, and to progress at your own pace. Seek support inside our Yoga Veda Community. One of the rewards of honoring ourselves as we engage with a cleansing process (however simple) is that it gets easier with time. Inevitably, as our overall state of balance improves, and as the intelligence within our bodies resurfaces, these cleansing therapies become more and more natural, easeful, and rewarding. So, start with whatever steps feel right to you today and trust that you are exactly where you need to be. We hope that we can continue to support you on your journey with Ayurveda and on your quest for improved health.

Dr. John Douillard's Short Home Cleanse Manual

Ayurveda literally means “the science of life” and it teaches us to tune into both the conspicuous and subtle indicators that there is room for improvement within—body, mind, and spirit. The Ayurvedic tradition also offers us a myriad of diverse therapeutic strategies to actually achieve positive change. As a system of healing, Ayurveda honors the utter uniqueness of the individual while helping each of us to court an ever-improving sense of balance and harmony in our lives. Ayurveda does not purport to offer any one-size-fits-all solution—no silver bullet to heal one and all. Instead, it teaches us how to better align with our truest inner nature and to reinvigorate our own innate intelligence in order to guide a very gentle and authentic healing process.

Using Dr. John Douillard’s Short Home Cleanse Manual (download) design a complete Ayurvedic Cleanse ritual for yourself (or someone else).
