Spring Cleaning


By John Douillard, DC, PhD

When I started the LifeSpa after co-directing Deepak Chopra's Clinic and teaching physicians Ayurveda for eight years, I was convinced that the experience of Ayurvedic rejuvenation and purification had to be made available to the masses and not only for the wealthy. I decided to make our panchakarma two-therapist treatments twice as long as before for the same price and offer the existing panchakarma therapies as affordable Day Spa treatments where, depending on your budget and time, there was a means for everyone to reap the benefits of Ayurveda's Panchakarma. Ayurveda recognizes that stress, which is now known to be the cause of eighty percent of disease, lodges its toxins deeply in the tissues of the body. These toxins are often sealed by mental or emotional traumas that eventually manifest as the symptoms of disease. Accessing these deeply seated toxins requires the nervous system to let down its guard so the therapies can rejuvenate the body on a cellular level. As the body's metabolic rate is slowed with each Ayurvedic treatment, a deeper level of calm is established, the body gets cleansed and stress centers are accessed. The experience of fear, stress and anxiety, which we all carry with us, is replaced with a deep sense of calm. This calm is your own consciousness. The awareness of it is the first step in treating the cause of disease and taking the stress out of your life. Imagine carrying the serenity of a beautiful forest with you every moment of your life. LifeSpa's Panchakarma treatments can help you to find it!
