Where ever you are, whatever your state of body and mind, spring time is generally a good time to “cleanse”.
How do we cleanse and how do we cleans well?
I think of cleansing like an oil change to a car, purge the old dirty oil, and replace with fresh clear oil. The maintenance helps the car last longer. Ideally we humans have a similar process for us to “last longer” and “last well”. It’s called Pancha Karma and it is something that has been practiced in India for many generations.
There is a lot of information out on the Internet, YouTube, etc. I’m not sure how concise it is, and I think there may be a lot of different opinions and approaches to this. In general, a Pancha Karma, takes some preparation.
As a westerner, I was exposed to this information in 2009 while going through my Ayurvedic training. I had my first experience of Pancha Karma in 2010. I did a five day “PK”(Pancha Karma). A year or two later I did a three day PK. Sometimes I have done a one day.
In India it is typical that a Pancha Karma can be 30 days. It is intended to be done as a personal retreat.
In our modern western world it seems unpractical to take so much time off for such a thing, but I am grateful this exists and I have heard of some interesting transformations in this practice.
I’m now officially offering Pancha Karma treatments and bodywork. Pancha Karma can be dramatic and creating a “healing crisis” if not prepared well.
If you’re curious about this work, schedule a pulse consultation. It is something we would plan together.
