The Practice of Texts examines the uses of the Sanskrit medical classics in two educational institutions of India's classical life science, Ayurveda: the college and the gurukula. In this interdisciplinary study, Anthony Cerulli probes late- and postcolonial reforms in ayurvedic education, the development of the ayurvedic college, and the impacts of the college curriculum on ways that ayurvedic physicians understand and use the Sanskrit classics in their professional work today. His fieldwork in south India illuminates the nature of philology and ritual in the ayurvedic gurukula and showcases how knowledge is exchanged among students, teachers, and patients. The result, Cerulli shows, is that the Sanskrit classics are presented and applied differently in the college and gurukula, producing a variety of relationships with these texts among practitioners. By interrogating the politics surrounding the place of the Sanskrit classics in ayurvedic curricula, this book reveals a spectrum of views about the history and tradition of Ayurveda in modern India.

Despite dramatic advances in recent decades, medicine - like many other scientific disciplines - is prone to materialistic tendencies, viewing the human being as little more than a biological machine that can be manipulated with 'interventions' and drugs. In this collection of challenging lectures, Dr Glockler asks if a new science of healing can be developed today - a discipline that allows for realities of soul and spirit. With humanity standing at the threshold of a new spiritual consciousness, this question becomes increasingly relevant. Michaela Glockler speaks on themes relating to the esoteric path of spiritual development and its therapeutic task for the individual and community. Giving an account of the evolution of the ancient mysteries in relation to medicine, she discusses the application of inner work in outer action, reflecting on modern social and ethical issues such as organ transplantation and the termination of pregnancy. Whilst the author primarily addresses those involved in the healing professions, this book will be of interest to anybody concerned with a new science of the spirit.

PUT AN END TO INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS Is IC Curable (Not Just Treatable)? ARE you wondering whether there is any hope for people who have IC? This is the first step-by-step book to show you how to use the energy science of Ayurveda to achieve the healing process of IC and regain your health. It applies the top simple principles of this energy science that has been with us for 1000's of years. And it exposes the Achilles heel of the currently practiced molecular science of healing and shows how the present medical science will never be able to heal chronic diseases like IC due to its lack of understanding the origin of disease. The sister diseases of IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and chronic fatigue have their healing answers in this energy science approach. WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE Personalized nutritional format for IC Simple solutions to deal with acute flares Unique chronic work necessary to heal IC Safe herbs that deal with the IC syndrome How to treat the vaginal pain of IC DEALING WITH IC FLARES The acute IC flare with its ups and downs of disease reflects the ebb and flow of provoked bodily energy patterns as they are expressed as waves of imblance. When you understand this about the disease you gain an understanding of what takes place in healing. DEALING WITH VAGINAL PAIN Many women with IC have associated vagina lpain, some worse than others. When severe this pain leads to loss of relationships and makes intimacy impossible. Chronic prostatitis is the male equivalent of IC in many cases and men may become as debilitated as women with IC. The energy science has answers for this that can over time again make intimacy possible . PELVIC PAIN Not only is IC a systemic disease associated with its sister diseases of IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue but also is expresses itself in the pelvic region as abnormal rectal activity(constipation, diarrhea) and vaginal with bladder pain. At times there can be pelvic neuropathy(nerve involvement) that can be debilitating. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: I HAVE been looking for answers for IC for quite some time now. All the pain and suffering I have been though and to know it was just a matter of following this diet and some aloe vera. I am 100 percent better. I have talked to some people on the IC Network and I feel I have been brushed off. Nothing so simple could work. Maybe there are other conditions that cause IC but for me this really does work. My urologist that I go to told me my urine was acidic and he had me drink more water, and take some baking soda. I gave him a copy of your diet and information to read. He told me if it works keep it up he told me he would give the diet to his other patients. JUST been two months and the difference is AMAZING....from 7 x a night getting up to go to the bathroom down to 1x. Although I come from a background of many natural health and holistic practices it has been wonderful to have these Ayruvedic coaching sessions with you and to learn to understand the importance of the energetics of our bodies and doshas. It IS all about healing foods with the energy for our particular doshas to be brought into balance and not just about what we might consider "healthy" foods.
