He/She holds the ability to bring harmony to the living energy systems of the individual human, their community, animals, plants and the greater world. These methods of healing and problem-solving through sensitivity to energy and the ability to balance it are important.

The practice calls us to awaken our inherent nature. It is the fundamental principles of almost all healing and spiritual traditions. However it is not a faith, but a constantly evolving wisdom tradition in which we learn purely from our own, individual and collective, personal experience.

Nor is it a religion and it is dogma-free, indeed it supports any existing spiritual practice a person may already hold. The practitioner follows practices that nourish the sacred in the Self and the world and comes to see, know and work with all energy as sacred.

This holistic pattern is thoroughly rooted in the Spiritual energy of the land. There is a deep honoring of the lineage of your land, the archetypes, mythology and sacred sites that hold our tradition. Alongside native,or indigenous practices have been incorporated that many others draw from these common practices come through all worldwide traditions.

Outstanding among these traditions supporting the pathway of the heart, is the ancient wisdom teachings, with cutting edge breakthrough techniques for Energetic-Spiritual, Psycho-Emotional and Physical emergence.

It is a path of holistic development and evolution, a path of remembering who we truly are in our essence and a path of finding the strength to live daily from that place of authenticity.

The pathway of the heart brings the practitioner deep into Nature and into the Self at the same time, to learn to travel to the world of their Spirit, beyond ordinary time and space, to retrieve healing, guidance and vision.

This path is one of integrity allowing the practitioner to emerge as an empowered, autonomous truth seeker who is free to touch and express the ecstatic essence of Life. The pathway to the heart is built upon our innate understanding, literally “retrieving, through the energy of compassion”.

The word for “healing” is the same as the word for “retrieval” and the training supports self-healing and return to wholeness through our recovery of essential parts of ourselves that have been damaged, hidden or lost..

The process takes us from “victim” to “warrior”- a “warrior of the heart” who is testimony to the courage to heal and who shines with the luminosity of one who lives from their heart.

In the world traditions, there is no difference between the “heart” and the “soul”, a vision that a sacred, soulful life is realized through compassion and love.

The pathway to the heart assists us to incorporate Healing ways of self-care and Connection to the energies of the natural world, into a modern daily life with ease and simplicity.

When we do this, our entire day becomes informed by a strong, positive intent which opens our heart and allows us to participate in and observe life, with greater meaning.

We become more attuned to ourselves as Body-Mind-Spirit organisms and , we witness more and more the Energetic-Spiritual energy in all that is material.

Our perception leads us inward and outward shifting to a new insightful focus, revealing more the beauty and dimensions of the Self and Creation.

Ashwagandha

 Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, one of the most vital herbs in Ayurvedic healing, has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions, but is most well known for its restorative benefits. In Sanskrit ashwagandha means “the smell of a horse,” indicating that the herb imparts the vigor and strength of a stallion, and it has traditionally been prescribed to help people strengthen their immune system after an illness. In fact, it’s frequently referred to as “Indian ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties (although botanically, ginseng and ashwagandha are unrelated). In addition, ashwagandha is also used to enhance sexual potency for both men and women. Ashwagandha
Belonging to the same family as the tomato, ashwagandha (or Withania somnifera in Latin) is a plump shrub with oval leaves and yellow flowers. It bears red fruit about the size of a raisin. The herb is native to the dry regions of India, northern Africa, and the Middle East, but today is also grown in more mild climates, including in the United States.

Scientific Research

Ashwagandha contains many useful medicinal chemicals, including withanolides, (steroidal lactones), alkaloids, choline, fatty acids, amino acids, and a variety of sugars. While the leaves and fruit have valuable therapeutic properties, the root of the ashwagandha plant is the part most commonly used in Western herbal remedies.
Medical researchers have been studying ashwagandha with great interest and as of this date have carried out 216 studies of its healing benefits, summarized below:
  • confers immune system protection
  • combats the effects of stress
  • improves learning, memory, and reaction time
  • reduces anxiety and depression without causing drowsiness
  • stabilizes blood sugar
  • lowers cholesterol
  • reduces brain-cell degeneration
  • contains anti-malarial properties
  • offers anti-inflammatory benefits
Some studies have also found that ashwagandha inhibits the growth of cancer cells in small animals, but further research is needed to determine whether the herb prevents the development of tumors in human beings.

Practical Uses and Precautions

The usual recommended dose is 600 to 1000 mg, twice daily. For people who suffer from insomnia and anxiety, having a cup of hot milk that contains a teaspoon of powdered ashwagandha before bedtime is beneficial. In extremely large doses, ashwagandha has been reported to induce abortions in animals. Although no similar studies have been carried out on humans, women should avoid the herb during pregnancy.
