What Is Ayurveda?
And how can Ayurveda help you?
Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest holistic medicine practices. Widely regarded by scholars as the most ancient healing science to date. The term “Ayurveda” translates to “the knowledge of life,” with “ayur” meaning “life” and “veda” meaning “knowledge.” In contrast to traditional medicine, Ayurveda prioritizes prevention and promotes health maintenance by focusing on achieving balance in various aspects of life, including mindset, diet, lifestyle, and the use of herbs, yoga, and ancient Vedic practices. By understanding Ayurveda, individuals can learn how to attain this balance of body, mind, and consciousness according to their unique constitution, and implement lifestyle changes to support and sustain over all wellness.

Ayurveda believes in three different types of energies or functional principles that are present in everyone and everything known as the Sanskrit term "Doshas" called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha is associated with different elements ​, Physical characteristics, and biological functions of the body.
​
-
Vata: Associated with wind and air, it governs movement, creativity, and communication.
-
Pitta: Associated with fire and water, it governs digestion, metabolism, and transformation.
-
Kapha: Associated with earth and water, it governs stability, structure, and nourishment.
​
The concept of individualized health approaches is particularly relevant when considering physical characteristics and related disorders. Individuals with a Vata constitution typically possess a slender frame and may experience slower digestion, which can predispose them to bone density issues. In contrast, those with a Kapha constitution generally have a larger bone structure and more robust build. Pitta types, characterized by their athletic physiques, tend to have efficient digestion. It is essential to recognize that we are all unique, and our healthcare plans should not adopt a one-size-fits-all paradigm.

Sound healing is medicine from the ancient past, being rediscovered. Rooted in Eastern medicine. It's effects on the body and brain have been validated through various case studies, lending this therapy the credibility it rightfully deserves. To truly grasp sound healing, it's essential to understand the different stages of brain waves: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta.
-
Gamma Wave: The fastest brain wave, responsible for processing information.
-
Beta Wave: Associated with alertness and consciousness, often linked to anxiety.
-
Alpha Wave: Represents a state of relaxation and calm.
-
Theta Wave: Characterizes light sleep and meditation.
-
Delta Wave: Represents a deep meditative state, which is the hardest to access.
-
Most people tend to spend their lives primarily in the Beta wavelength. A case study conducted in Spain on March 28th, 2020, involving 3,480 participants, aimed to investigate the physiological effects of the pandemic. The findings revealed that 18.7% of participants exhibited signs of depressive disorder, 21.6% showed signs of anxiety, and 15.8% experienced PTSD symptoms (González-Sanguino C, Ausín B, Castellanos MÁ, et al., 2020).

​
The optimal brain wave patterns vary according to specific objectives. For instance, gamma waves are beneficial for alleviating stress and anxiety, as well as enhancing cognitive function. In contrast, theta waves can foster creativity and mitigate memory loss.
Transitioning between these brain wave states is more manageable than one might assume. Regular practices such as meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), and exposure to specific sound frequencies—such as those produced by our Orchestra Grade Crystal Sound Bowls—can significantly impact your mental state.

The Science Behind Sound Healing
Sound Healing & Corporate Wellness
Corporate
Wellness
Supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, is not only crucial for the culture of the company, but the people who help build it. The APA’s Striving for Mental Health in the Workplace initiative, introduced in May 2022, revealed that employees experiencing high levels of stress are more prone to absenteeism and exhibit lower engagement and commitment at work, which can adversely impact an organization’s financial performance. Even prior to the pandemic, employee stress was already a significant issue. A 2018 analysis estimated that the national cost of job-related stress could reach as high as $187 billion, with 70% to 90% of those losses stemming from decreased productivity—an issue that the pandemic has only exacerbated.Our specially curated corporate programs will provide a safe space to reset and decompress the central nervous system with our crystal singing bowl sound bath and Gong work. This relaxation symphony will allow the central nervous system to regulate back to homeostasis. In this session, we will pass down self-regulating tools, breathing, as well as ancient Ayurvedic techniques to calm the mind. This experience will be catered towards beginners. Many participants say they notice an improvement in creativity, communication, stress, and feelings of burn-out.
