“The more you operate from your inherent wholeness, the more fearless you will become.”
—Acharya Shunya

Ayurveda translates to ‘the science of life’ in Sanskrit, which is a beautiful framework of recognizing ancient holistic wisdom that remains relevant for embodying our vital potential in the now. Rooted in India, Ayurveda uses healing modalities that encourage alignment in our body, mind & spirit. For me, Ayurvedic practice has been about coming back home to myself, honouring my lineages and leading with integrity in my lifestyle choices.
I deeply believe that we hold the medicine within each of us to overcome our own suffering and that sometimes it takes a little guidance to be reminded of that.

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
—bell hooks

I am grateful to the land, my teachers and wellness communities that have taught me so much about the importance of building a relationship to our medicines. Here, I am holding tulsi holy basil — it a plant traditionally used in Ayurveda and one that I have been honoured to steward for many years. As a counsellor, my approach to healing is about: recognizing clear sankalpa (intention), holding awareness for the abundance we already have and building healthier habits. It also about the courage to lean on community with interdependence.

My journey with Ayuveda is one that started before I could even put a name to the practice & vidya (knowledge) itself.

Growing up, I was privileged to be in close contact with my dadi and nani (both my grandmothers). I closely observed them as a child and received many different learnings from each of them, with curiosity toward their South Asian roots that seemed to be subtly shadowed by the harsh reality of western cultural assimilation.
The potency of practices like yoga, meditation & ayurveda are deeply spiritual and intersected — to grow up with them felt like they were mundane care routines, but it wasn’t until my 20s that I realized that these are ancient healing modalities that deserved a much more intentional study from practitioners with Indian lineages. So my search began, for: wisdom texts, teachers, mentors, elders, and like-minded kin interested in healing justice.
When I was given a copy of The Path of Practice by Maya Tiwari and later found my teacher Anjali Deva of Madhya Way, I felt so validated in my own experience knowing that there were others who have dedicated their lives toward shifting into the high vibration of holistic science while acknowledging the complexities of allopathy.

Mental Health & Ayurveda

I knew there had to be a balance of holistic & allopathic medicine and not a righteous absolute approach, especially when it comes to mental health. Having care support from various practitioners is ideal for seeing the full scope of our health.

As I delved into personal Ayurvedic treatments and my studies, I began noticing the direct connection between gut health and mental health — this has been foundational to my understanding of how important Ayurvedic practices can ripple into a unified wellness throughout the body, mind & spirit. In western medicine approaches, I would feel a separateness between these parts of my being-ness - where identifying problems became the target of my discomforts, rather than addressing potential solutions (beyond medication) to alleviate my suffering.

While I did not know my life before ‘depression’ or chronic illness, I am confident to say that I was able to come out on the other side and beyond the confines of any western diagnosis when I chose a path of healing. This choice is not easy for many of us when we are in the midst of crisis, downward spiral or with limited access to even basic healthcare — but there is always hope, if we are courageous enough to choose love & remember self-compassion.

I can’t begin to describe the years I have lost to hopelessness, distrust and disempowerment. That sombre feeling disappears when I come back into the present and give myself credit for how far I have come. To remember that healing is not linear also means accepting that there will still be very challenging days — yes, AND there is potential to evolve into someone kinder, more loving, more resourced & freer too.

Let my practice be a testimonial that self-awareness and healing is possible at any point in our lives. It is never too late. You ready?

In love & solidarity,

Priya
