Perhaps in the harvest season, you look forward to visiting a favorite orchard for picking fresh fruit. If you&#8217;re lucky, maybe you have a garden of your own and enjoy the medicinal benefits of what you grow on a daily basis. This connection to the source of life is a heartfelt vibration, and the underlying current of our upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keralaayurveda.us\/courses\/indiaimmersion\/\">India Immersion 2020: Journey to the Heart of Ayurveda and Yoga<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ayurveda&#8217;s principles as a life science are universal, which makes them relevant and adaptable to wellness seekers and practitioners everywhere. We call it the &#8220;common sense science&#8221; for this reason, for we all contain the mechanism and intelligence to heal within us. This awareness is the first step of the healing process &#8211; connecting with the inner <em>Vaidya.<\/em> In the west, we are searching for answers to chronic lifestyle illnesses. Ayurveda tells us: we can find the mechanism within! To guide this process, Ayurveda provides an elegant framework for understanding and supporting the inner healer. The ancient people of India who documented the Vedic texts, including Ayurveda, lived and breathed this science every day. Many of our trip participants feel they are &#8220;coming home&#8221; during their visit to India. For immersing themselves in a culture who fully embraces a holistic health science is an initiation for the heart &#8211; the true seat of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.keralaayurveda.us\/courses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/11\/Indiaimmersionfreshcoconuts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellness.keralaayurveda.us\/courses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/11\/Indiaimmersionfreshcoconuts.jpg 757w, https:\/\/www.wellness.keralaayurveda.us\/courses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/11\/Indiaimmersionfreshcoconuts-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellness.keralaayurveda.us\/courses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/11\/Indiaimmersionfreshcoconuts-600x457.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As Ayurveda is a 5,000 year-old tradition, it manifests in the everyday customs of the Indian people.
