Dynamics of Ayurvedic Nutrition: Marma, Mind, Mahagunas


  • National Ayurvedic Medical Association (map)
Course Description
The mahagunas of sattva, rajas, & tamas are at the core of skillful healing in Ayurveda. Consciously identifying these mental attitudes & reflecting upon them as we work with clients increases our effectiveness as practitioners & educators. Integrating guided Marma therapy with awareness deepens healing. Learn how to apply the discerning wisdom of Ayurveda without descending into judgment or criticism of your clients or yourself. Build confidence in your ability to hold healthy boundaries an work appropriately with client resources, including guided Marma therapy. We'll explore how self-touch, communication & states of mind influence how we nourish ourselves, & specific tools to use professionally to support nutritional change in others. Marma helps “rest and digest” on multiple levels.

Course Objective
1. Cultivate the awareness to be able to identify sattva, rajas, and tamas in your self and clients in everyday interactions at least 50% of the time. 2. Be able to apply listening skills in response to clients at least 75% of the time in a one-on-one session. 3. Feedback in a neutral and supportive way what you've heard the client say at least 3 times in a one on one interaction. 4. Be able to respond with non-verbal means of support (Marma therapy) when alternatives to words & thoughts are needed. Amplify a “whole body- whole being” approach through the guided use of 6 or more marma points. 5.
