Vedic Counseling for the Mind

Level 2
Vedic Counseling for the Mind
An Ayurvedic Perspective

This Vedic Counseling for supporting the mind integrates ancient Vedic wisdom and Ayurvedic perspective with modern coaching techniques to guide individuals toward holistic well-being, purpose, and a fulfilling life by addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. We use a holistic approach to tackle mental health in the modern world by using ancient Vedic teachings. This course is an excellent addition of Vedic tools for yoga teachers, therapists, counselors, or those who have completed our LEVEL 1 Vedic Ayurveda Lifestyle Coach and/or those planning to apply these hours towards becoming an Ayurveda Counselor. An interest in Vedic Arts and previous study of Ayurveda (self ) may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

This course draws upon the principles and insights of ancient Vedic philosophy and Yogic principles, and from the philosophy of ancient Vedic martial arts-Kalaripayattu, Yoga principles, and Qigong.
Vedic coaching incorporates modern coaching methodologies, such as goal setting, accountability, and action planning, to facilitate practical and tangible results.
Vedic coaching helps individuals gain deeper self-understanding, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies for personal growth and transformation and assists in discovering our life purpose and aligning our actions with our values and aspirations, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Vedic coaching may incorporate insights from various Vedic sciences, such as Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), Yoga, and Vedic astrology, to offer a comprehensive approach to well-being.
