”We have just reached a peak where many factors came together…. and now we have all these natural healing tools to apply to get spectacular results.” Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa
I met Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa (also known as KP Khalsa) 10 years ago, and fell in love with the depth of his knowledge and expertise. He is one of the foremost authorities in natural healing in North America and I was so humbled and excited to be able to speak with him.
I started learning principles of Ayurvedic medicine and became fascinated by the concepts. My students meet Ayurvedic practitioners in the majority of courses I teach. The ideas are powerful and practical and I believe everyone should be know about them.
Topics:
- how KP got interested in natural healing and specifically in Ayurveda
- Ayurveda and its’ connection to yoga
- what are dosha’s and constitutions based on the Ayurvedic teaching, how to view these as a blueprint for your body’s tendencies, and how to keep your body in balance
- KP’s perspective on using natural medicine for dramatic effects in the treatment of complex conditions (like Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheirmer’s disease and other), and how new research and resources are guiding his practice
- why the use of adaptogens should be given more attention in our society
