Can it be an online Ayurveda consultation?
The latest events that have been happening to our society, to our humanity and our planet, have resulted in many professionals taking their practices online.
A health session, was inconceivable online, as people wanted the Dc. or Practitioner to have a "really good look" at them, to touch them if needed and to do all the "normal" protocol we were use to for the longest period of time.
Now that has changed, people's minds have changed and are more likely to be ok to receive a diagnosis or recommendations by a DC. or Practitioner online. Amazing results have been achieved in the last 3 years of lockdown, no matter the interface, either face-to-face or online.
Ayurveda is also one of these practices that in order to continue to serve people's health, has moved to an online interface. Ayurveda is an ancestral practice that has always worked on the 1:1 (client-practitioner) paradigm, as the practitioner would evaluate the persons prakruti and vikruti (body and mental type and it's imbalances) by physical observation, physical evaluation and by paying attention to the patience's movements, actions, speed of talk, frame of body, and in general how it holds him/her self during the session.
With the current technology, such as very clear video cameras, and most of the time un-interrupted internet, the practitioner can observe the person's frame, can observe details of their eyes and can see their fingers, hands, tongue, and direct the person to show what is needed for the practitioner to evaluate, lets say it can literally observe almost everything, except take the pulse.
This technology has given people from all over the world the possibility to consult with the practitioners and doctors of their choice all over the world, something that only a few years ago was was un-imaginable.
So yes, I believe online practices are a possibility, online video recommendations, online courses, video chats etc. These are just the "form", the "package" they are not the content. When we talk about Ayurveda, we talk about more then 5000 years worth of content, health advice, recommendations etc.
So when it comes to resolving a chronic issue, choosing the best diet that suits your body type or taking supplements and medicines... would you not consider to consult someone that has been highly recommended or that you have followed for a long time but they Are they in the US, or in Australia, or in South America? I think is fascinating, all the back history, the background you can gain from approaching and having online accessibility to someone on the other side of the world from the comfort of your home, this even in your own hometown in case I are sick or the weather, or regulations don't permit a physical visit.
How is an online consultation?
When you get engaged with an online Ayurvedic consultation for example with me in Australia, if you are on the other side of the world, the first thing I will do is find an adequate time slot so we are both fresh and comfortable, and then send you an invitation either on zoom or Whatsapp, or meet (for example)
Then I will follow the exact same protocol as I would do if you were sitting in my consultation in front of me, and I will be observing your features, the way you express your self, how and when you talk, your movements etc.
This just helps me determine your biotype and gives me a hint on how to guide you better, but the core of the consultation will be given by our conversation, where I will continue a thorough and constant observation of your beautiful being.
We will talk about your regular diet, your elimination channels, your sleeping patterns, how your body is dealing with the ingested food. We will talk about your mind, stress influences, family, work. So that I can offer you the best help by promoting your lifestyle through proper diet and nutrition and treatments if they are necessary. Does it sound like this is possible on an online call?
