In our opening module, we’ll explore the concept of pragya paradh — the cause of all diseases according to Ayurveda.

This is where the mind begins to perceive itself as separate from its source in consciousness, and when our cells begin to function independently of the whole.

The cure for this is to restore the memory of pure consciousness into every cell at the junction where the quantum fields and physiology meet.

We will start this process by mapping and bringing balance to the body’s five koshas (subtle energy sheaths). Each sheath — body, breath, mind, discernment, and joy — will be evaluated and treated in this course.

We’ll begin by focusing on the breath, where the subtle energies of the mind merge with the physical body. Here we meet the muscle of immortality, the diaphragm, and begin our breath training.

In this class, you’ll discover:

• An introduction to Ayurvedic psychology and how to be free of unwanted mental and emotional patterns
• One of the most important Ayurvedic principles: The more subtle it is, the more powerful it is
• Powerful Ayurvedic therapies aimed at treating disease before it manifests, which is at the junction between consciousness and matter, called “Gap Therapies”
• Simple yoga postures with breathing practices designed to activate every part of the diaphragm
• How to “floss” your diaphragm with maximum inhalation and exhalation training
• How to treat each of the 5 koshas to bring the body and mind back into harmony with nature

Dive deeply into the physiology and spirituality of breathing with ancient Ayurvedic and Yogic breathing techniques for healing the body and inspiring the mind to look within for its joy and contentment.

This week you’ll explore the interoception (self-awareness) receptors deep inside your diaphragm that allow you to feel and understand what’s going on deep inside your body.

You’ll learn and practice the proper breathing practices for activating your interoception receptors, paving the way for a healthier body and a deeper, more vivid spiritual practice.

In module two, you’ll discover:

• The difference between nose and mouth breathing, and how to employ these practices in exercise, sleep, and before and after meditation and yoga
• How to live in the “eye of the storm,” and how to know when you’re rejuvenating or degenerating
• How to reset a rejuvenating calm inside you
• The science and benefits of long, slow, and deep breathing
• 20 scientific reasons to tape your mouth at night
• How to nose breathe during exercise to boost Alpha brain waves and enter “the zone”
• A 1-minute breathing meditation to reset your calm in any moment
• 4 Pranayama techniques

This practice of breath extension or breath retention is called kumbhaka, and it represents the space between the breath.

In Western science it’s called intermittent hypoxia, and the benefits of this ancient practice are now well studied.

This week, you’ll learn how to safely extend or pause your breath, which is linked to increased stem cell production, increased nitric oxide, and a boost in the endurance hormone erythropoietin (made famous by world-class Tour de France cyclists).

You’ll also explore how learning this form of breathwork can protect your genetic code and enhance neuroplasticity to “rewrite” emotional and neurological patterns.

In this class, you’ll explore:

• The concept of over-breathing
• How to build CO2 tolerance — to become “superhuman”
• The science of intermittent hypoxia through breath retention
• Breathing for increased neuroplasticity
• Incorporating breath retention into your breathing practice

Treating the lymphatic system is the key to longevity. Your lymphatic system is designed to perform three major tasks: detoxify the body, carry fat and fuel to every cell of the body, and carry the body’s immune system.

The lymph is found around the belly, underneath your skin, inside the respiratory and digestive tracts, and in the brain. All the lymph in the body starts in the digestive system, and when congested, it’s linked to toxicity, compromised immune system, and numerous health concerns.

The newly discovered glymphatic system, which is basically a brain cleansing system, has been found to dump three pounds of plaque and toxins out of the brain each year while we sleep. Congestion of the brain’s lymphatic system is linked to anxiety, depression, inflammation, infection, and autoimmunity.

This week, we’ll focus on the brain lymphatic system for health, longevity, and enhanced self-awareness.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• A home Nasya Therapy for brain lymph detox, primarily to remove old emotional trauma, but also to boost immunity, cognitive function, and sinus cleansing
• Ayurvedic Head Marma Massage to further detox the Brain Lymphatics and remove old emotional trauma
• Ayurveda Garshana (lymph massage) with raw silk gloves for healthier skin function and skin detox
• Herbs, food, and pranayama for a healthy brain lymphatic system to boost immunity, energy reserves, and healthy detox

Many people believe that as we age, our digestive strength weakens and we need to take digestive enzymes. From the Ayurvedic perspective, this is a myth.

This week you’ll learn how, when, what, and where to eat, including the benefits of eating seasonal food, being calm when you eat, and eating at the right times of day — in a peaceful and pleasing environment.

When our system is stressed by processed foods, our telomeres shorten, which accelerates aging. Eating healthy foods has been found to lengthen our telomeres (protective chromosomal caps) and our life.

Additionally, Nobel Prize-winning research by Elizabeth Blackburn found that eating well and de-stressing with yoga, breathwork, or meditation can lengthen your telomeres and extend your life.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to eat seasonally
• The magic of how and where to eat to boost digestion
• Which foods have been found to lengthen your telomeres (protective chromosomal caps)
• Your digestive weak link and how to strengthen it
• Which foods, herbs, breathing practices, and lifestyle changes can increase your digestive strength

Is your life a struggle? Do you feel tired or exhausted a lot of the time? Do you crave sugar, chips, or coffee to get through the day, or need a glass of wine to unwind in the evening?

The key to boosting your energy is in looking to nature’s subtle rhythms. Every cell in your body has a biological clock that turns on and off in sync with nature’s circadian cycles.

Yet, due to a number of factors — including the stress of living in today’s world, light pollution, limited sun exposure, and the fact that we spend on average 90% of our time indoors — our biological clocks have become out of sync with nature.

This week, you’ll discover how to feel these subtle rhythms once again, and explore the best daily and seasonal routines based on the latest science and time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom.

In this module, you’ll learn:

• The best times to sleep, exercise, and eat in alignment with the Ayurvedic times of day
• About the power of Ritu-Sandhi — the junction between seasons, plus how the ancients used the change of seasons to prevent disease
• The power of the sun’s cycles throughout the day — and when to be in the sun versus when to avoid it
• How to microdose with melatonin to reset your circadian clock
• Evidence-based Ayurvedic Intermittent Fasting — and why breakfast matters

We all have emotional patterns holding us back from living life fully.

In this last week together, you’ll identify your emotional type and hone in on what areas of your life can be more emotionally balanced.

And, you’ll discover a simple technique that uses the fascinating power of ultra weak photon emissions (biophotons), which are the mechanism that underlies how prayer works and enables us to practice self-healing and distance healing.

In this final module, you’ll:

• Take the Emotional Type Quiz to identify your emotional blocks
• Learn how to balance rajas (overstimulation) and tamas (fear and inhibition) and bring sattva (joy) into your life
• Explore how to use intention to affect your biophoton emission and heal yourself
• Learn Ayurvedic distance healing techniques that are backed by science
