Friday, 18th Sept. to Sunday, 20th Sept. 2009

SUMMARY

Friday, 18th September

Opening ceremony with Peace Prayer and Dhanvantari mantra

Lecture about Ayurveda for maintainig physical and mental health. 

From the contence: „What kinds of tools do we have for maintaining good health?  We shall follow a daily routine (Dinacharya) as well as a seasonal routine (Rutucharya), a balanced diet, the eliminating of natural urges on appropriate time, the rules about sleep, the rules about celibacy, the regular use of rejuvenation treatment and an aphrodisiac treatment. Our mental health we maintain by Sadvrutta (ethical conduct) and Dharaniya Vega Dharana (controlling emotional urges like anger, fear, greed). For curing mental diseases Ayurveda advises the worshipping of God, the chanting of Mantras-Hymns and following the words of the master.“

Theoretical repetition of Abhyanga (please see manual of module C, page 61)

Summary:

Abhyanga is a snehana procedure. The treatment which produces Sneha (Oleation), Vishyanda (Secretion), Mardava (Softness) and Kleda (Moisture) is called Snehana.

Snehana is useful in Pradhan Karma as a treatment of some diseases mand as Poorva Karma the pre procedure of Pancha Karma (in medical treatments.)

Abhyanga is also performed in Dincharya (daily routine). (See manual of module C, starting at page 61).This is the way how the students and absolvents of the Ayurveda Academy of Yoga in Daily Life propagate this type of application for the maintainence of health in the field of wellbeing and prevention.

The ayurvedic massage  „Mardan“ is another type of the snehan which we will not learn in this training. It needs deep knowledge of marma points and tis is the subject of the training Abhyanga Mardana Tantradnya (Diploma in Art & Technique of Ayurvedic Massage).
