Shaktiveda is very happy to announce that we will be assisting you in a Group Ayurveda Cleanse each quarter.  Part 1 of the cleanse will begin March 25,2012. Part 2 of the cleanse will begin April 14, 2012.

We are very please to be offering you this in depth mind / body cleanse. Many cleanses just focus on a physical cleanse. With our Shakti Infused herbal products and our Awaken Within Yoga DVD we are able to assist you in addressing old mental or emotional imbalances along with physical toxins.

For more information, please visit our Main Page for the Detox Veda Guided Group Cleanse.

All of the different techniques in our Group Cleanse are designed to either loosen toxins and impurities (ama) or to eliminate the toxins and impurities. Ama can be deposited in to any of the cells of the body, but it likes to go to our weak areas and to the joints. With the passage of time and an accumulation of ama, we begin to notice that either one or several of our bodily systems may not be functioning at the optimum. Many times we may think that it is “just old age” setting in. But in reality, the tissues and cells are being smothered and not able to properly communicate with the rest of the body. These areas begin to feel separate, and our ability to heal ourselves is compromised. Through the techniques of the Cleanse, we begin the process of removing the ama and allowing our inner intelligence to flow freely.

Using an herbal Nasya Oil in your nostrils is effective for addressing many imbalances such as an active busy mind or working on emotional concerns. As the nose is the doorway to the brain, this treatment allows the herbs to be immediately absorbed into the nervous system. It is also effective for imbalances from the shoulders up to the head. It is ideal if you use the recommended Nasya Oil one to two times per day.

Knowing that the Detox Veda program is designed to remove ama from our bodies, it is important to realize that we need to incorporate more of an Ayurvedic life style so that we can minimize the amount of toxins that we may accumulate in the future.  Following conscious eating habits is a necessary aspect to our living with more awareness. Maintaining a good daily routine after Pancha Karma will facilitate holding the effects for a longer period of time.

Have you given yourself the Ayurvedic Self Massage? It only takes 5 minutes before your shower. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing. Shaktiveda Herbal has many wonderful massage oils to choose from.

Some of you may choose to incorporate a therapy in Pancha Karma called an Oil Basti, or sesame oil enema. Basti allows for the elimination of the loosened toxins and doshic imbalances that have accumulated in the colon. The matra basti, or nutritive basti, is composed of herbalized sesame oil. If you decide you would like to have this as part of your cleanse, you may purchase the appropriate oil from Shaktiveda Herbal. According to Charaka Samhita, many of the benefits of the entire Pancha Karma treatment program are achieved through the administration of the basti.

Some important considerations during your Group Cleanse include:  eating less than usual to divert  the body’s energy from digestion, allowing it to focus on repair, minimizing physical exercise and sexual activity so that we can focus more inward, and drinking lots of pure hot water to facilitate the cleansing process.

During your DetoxVeda Group Cleanse, you may choose to include some type of body therapy to assist in your healing process. This might include: massage, shirodhara, marma therapy, steam therapy, or sitting in the bath tub! If you are fortunate to have an Ayurvedic Center in your area, you may see which therapies they offer.

We recommend that you set up your life so that this cleanse can also include a bit of quiet time – you may still work during these 2 weeks, but it is best to have less responsibilities and “worldly” interactions such as going to the movies or parties. We suggest that you incorporate at least one of the yoga poses from the Awaken Within Yoga DVD each day of your cleanse and make time for the entire DVD at least once per week.

The Liver is responsible for processing hormones – this is a very important aspect for peri and post menopausal women – but, of course, for everyone, as corticosteroid hormones are necessary for the health of all.  The cholesterol that is manufactured by the Liver is used as  buildings block for these hormones.

Dr. Mary Jo Cravatta has developed a method of cleansing and balancing the Liver that is called Ranjaka Shodhana Therapy.  The Sanskrit name for the Liver is Ranjaka Pitta.  The word Shodhana means cleansing.  Ranjaka Shodhana Ghee is used for this therapy.  Vegans may use the oil version.  For more information on this, you may wish to have a consultation with Dr. Cravatta.  Shaktiveda offers a Group Cleanse on a quarterly basis.  This Liver Cleanse is one of the varieties of cleansing that is available.  For more information, please contact our office.  Our Spring 2012 Group Cleanse will be in March.  Ranjaka Shodhana and traditional Ayurvedic Oleation will both be offered as options in the cleanse.  In April, we will have our Detox Veda Group Cleanse – to release toxins, cellulite, and excess weight – our Premier Cleansing Program that is truly effective!

Here is what one of our patients has to say about Ranjaka Shodhana Therapy:

I have been taking the Ranjaka Shodhana Ghee for three consecutive months. I take it at night daily for a week and then purge with Castor Oil.  The first week I took it I felt irritable and witnessed how I was subtly judgmental and sharp with others.  I also found with some effort, the ability  to change this.  The second month I took the ghee, I saw again how I was subtly not life supporting to others and leaked anger on others.  I want to be sweeter and supportive and found I was able to make more changes.  The third month I took the ghee I found myself easily emotional and saw how for 20 years I had stayed angry at my former husband.  I had prayed and meditated for 20 years in attempts to let go and forgive, but had never fully been successful.  I felt with the help of the ghee there was a final lifting of the anger towards him.  I felt a lightness and relief. The ghee had enabled me to accomplish releasing emotions that in the past my intellect and prayers had not fully accomplished.   I am going to continue to use the ghee monthly, because each time it has brought me more and more freedom.  Thank you so much for creating this product. – BS, Grass Valley, CA

In the morning, on an empty stomach, before brushing your teeth – put 1 TBSP of plain sesame oil in your mouth.  Swish it for 15 – 20 minutes – it will turn white (like milk) as you complete the process.  Be sure to spit it out and then rinse your mouth before eating or drinking anything.

It pulls toxins, Ama, heavy metals, virus’, bacteria, and anything that is foreign out of the body.  Doing this on a regular basis will assist your body in healing any aspect of your body.

Since the body as a whole is represented by your tongue, the oil bathes your tongue and encourages all of the different organs of your body to release toxins and doshic imbalances.

It is very beneficial to the mouth, gums, and teeth.  I have many patients who have dramatic improvements in their gum tissue – a few with having regrowth of gum tissue where it had eroded from receding gums.  Just about everyone comments on the fact that their teeth have whitened.  One patient had neglected her teeth for decades and was in the process of loosing two very loose teeth.  She had been told that they would have to be pulled.  She oil pulled at least 3 times per day, and  within a few weeks, her teeth were firm once again.  Absolutely miraculous.

You will find that when you spit it out, that there is at least 3 times as much liquid coming out as you put in.  This is due to the pulling affect on the saliva.  The saliva is made up of Rasa Dhatu – the liquid portion of the blood, blood plasma, and lymph system.  So, it encourages the blood to cleanse and the lymph  system to cleanse.

Shaktiveda Yoga has combined several different methods to address the subtle imbalances that someone may have.  These therapies include:  Hatha Yoga Asanas (Awaken Within Yoga, Awaken Your Spine Yoga, and Awaken Throughout Yoga), Pranayama / Breathing Techniques, and Meditation.  To learn more information on Awaken Within Yoga, please visit the website.

The Meditation of Shaktiveda Yoga is a combination of several styles – each one with specific purposes.  This may include mantra meditation, guided meditation, focused attention, chanting, contemplation, or self inquiry.   Each style of meditation has it purpose and benefits.

Mantra Meditation has two main styles in Shaktiveda Yoga – that of clearing the Chakras with the Chakra Mantras and with using a Mantra that was chosen for you from what has been felt in your pulse with Dr. Cravatta.   This style, where Dr. Cravatta chooses the mantra that resonates with what you are currently working on is called Subtle Awareness Technique (SAT).

Daniel Skiles of Portland, Oregon has this to say about learning Subtle Awareness Technique Meditation:

“If you want to learn how to meditate, I highly recommend learning from Dr. MaryJo Cravatta This woman is the best meditation teacher I have ever met. There are many wonderful mediation techniques and “non-techniques” out there, but this is the simplest, most effective way to slip into unbounded awareness. The mechanics of the technique are similar to Transcendental Meditation, if you are familiar with that, but these mantras Mary Jo are giving come directly from Mahavatar Babaji, of whom she is a direct disciple (the Babaji in Autobiography of A Yogi), and are chosen based upon which life lessons you are currently working on in this incarnation, to facilitate the release of cellular memory (karma) acquired from this incarnation as well as past incarnations. As these imprints dissolve, the mind can sink deeper and deeper into finer levels of thought until all activity of the mind dissolves into a state of unbounded awareness, or “samadhi.”

Legs Up the Wall, or Viparita Karani is the Restorative Yoga Pose used on the Awaken Within Yoga DVD for the Root Chakra.  This calming Yoga Asana is designed to relax the entire body and mind.  It allows the floor of your pelvic area and tailbone to relax and unwind.  There are several variations recommended on the DVD so that this posture is helpful for many people – those beginning yoga along with experienced yogis.

The Root Chakra is the first of the body’s Energy Centers.  It is related to the Earth Element.  The Sanskrit Mantra for the Root Chakra is Lam.  It is pronounced as if it were spelled “Lum”.

The Root Chakra is closely associated with Apana Vata – the downward moving Vata that is in the abdominal area. It is responsible for elimination of toxins, feces, menstrual blood, and urine.  It is also closely related to the subdosha Prana Vata – the upward Vata in the head, brain, – and also flowing throughout the entire body.  When it is disturbed it can bring an active, busy mind, depression, insomnia, decreased energy, decreased memory or focus, or an overall sense of dis-ease.

Awaken Within Yoga is part of the knowledge of Shaktiveda Yoga.  A Yoga style that encourages a conscious connection during practice – allowing you to heal on subtle levels and bring a greater clarity and energy into your daily life.

Dr. Cravatta specializes in Ayurvedic Pulse

Ayurvedic Pulse Diagnosis is an integral part of your Ayurvedic Consultation with Dr. Mary Jo Cravatta.  With her ability to do Distance Pulse, it is possible to have your appointment either in person, or on the phone or Skype.

Dr. Cravatta first began her study of Ayurveda in 1979. She then went on to study Chiropractic. She graduated Magna cum Laude in 1987. It was just a few months later in January 1988 that she was fortunate to learn Pulse Diagnosis or Nadi Vigyana from a monk who had studied pulse with an incredible Ayurvedic Vaidya in India. She immediately recognized that she had a special talent in feeling Ayurvedic Pulse. Her abilities with pulse have continued to expand over the years. Her advanced proficiency allows her to discover the deeper underlying imbalances that are affecting your state of health and well being.

She has cognized many layers in the pulse. One of them indicates what Chakra you are working in this life. Another is the Kosha that affects this Chakra. Together they allow Dr. Cravatta to have an understanding of what your life lessons are. This facilitates an easier understanding of why your life has unfolded in the way that it has.

Through Ayurveda Pulse Diagnosis or Nadi Vigyana, Dr. Cravatta will be able to understand your current state of health and then determine what the best course of action will be to bring you to your optimal well being. You will feel as if you have been “heard” – that your personal needs have been seen in a way that touches you on a deep level. She has been given the siddhi to practice long distance pulse, which allows her to be very effective through phone ayurveda consultation.

Dr. Cravatta began her study of Ayurveda in 1979 – out of a desire to enhance the benefits of her Meditation and Yoga practice. She had started learning Yoga in the early 1970′s. With her many years of living a balanced lifestyle, her clarity allows her to have enhanced intuition. This facilitates her ability to choose the right treatment plan for your individual needs. Your treatment may include: ayurveda herbs, lifestyle advice, dietary information, variety of cleansing techniques, along with an insight into what may be holding you back from experiencing the Joy that can be in Life.

You may have your Ayurveda Consultation with Dr. Cravatta either in person or a phone consultation.

The Initial Exam is 1 hour and 15 minutes. The fee is $150.

Nasya Oils are designed to be used in the nostrils for a quick input into the blood stream and nervous system. Our Nasya Oils may also be used on Ayurvedic Vital Energy Points known as Marma Points.  For example, you may apply a drop of Depth of Being Nasya Oil to Talahridaya Marma Point on the palm of your hand.  Gently massage in a clockwise circle – will enhance awareness throughout, but especially in the hands – ideal for body workers, but also very good before meditation.

Putting Nasya Oil into your nostrils has many benefits. First of all, having oil in the nostrils is pacifying to Vata Dosha. This allows the epithelial tissue in the nostrils to remain moist and less susceptible to dryness, pollen, environmental allergens / pollutants, and nose bleeds due to dry air. Depending on the base oil and the specific herbs in the formula, there are effects for the head, nervous system, mental / emotional states, allergies, hormones, neck pain, headaches, post nasal drip, memory, insomnia, depression, tinnitis – to name a few – the list could go on and on.

To apply, we recommend that you tilt your head back to allow the oil to easily go into your nostrils. It is actually best to lie down and tip your head into extension. When you are in the correct position, take a deep breath in, completely exhale and hold the exhale. Use the dropper that comes in the nasya bottle and apply 2 drops of oil into each nostril. Then take a deep breath in. You may wish to pinch your nostrils with your thumb and index finger as you take this deep inhale to allow the oil to go further in.

Depending on your personal needs, it is recommended that you apply the Nasya Oil 2 times per day. If you have a Vata imbalance in your upper body, you may desire to apply it more often (i.e. Prana Vata or Udana Vata). You may apply almost anytime you would like except it is best to not apply immediately before or after a shower, or immediately before lying down to sleep at bedtime – best to apply at least 1/2 hour before lying down in bed.

In addition to applying with the dropper, you may also choose to put 1 drop on your index finger to apply a thin coating of the oil in your nostrils. This is especially good to do when in a dry environment such as air conditioning or in an airplane. You may apply in this way as many times as you would desire.

If the dropper has touched your nostrils as you apply the oil, we recommend that you wipe the tip of the dropper with a tissue before you replace it back into the bottle. This will facilitate your oil staying fresher.

Dr. Cravatta is well known for her Ayurvedic Pulse Diagnosis Course and has trained a vast number of practitioners in this ancient healing Art. With her ability to do the long distance pulse, she has had many of her students who live in other areas Internship with her. This allows them to gain a deeper sense of what their client needs to bring true balance. If you currently have a practitioner in your area, you may desire that they consult with Dr. Cravatta concerning your treatment plan.

There is a layer in the Ayurvedic Pulse that allows Dr. Cravatta to know what Chakra and Kosha you are working on. This will give you insight into your main Life Lessons – and therefore be better able to consciously work on those aspects of yourself that are holding you back from experiencing the Joy that Life has to offer.

The Initial Exam with Dr. Cravatta is 1 hour and 15 minutes and the fee is $150. Please complete the on line Initial Exam Form at least several days before your appointment.

Ayurvedic Pulse Diagnosis allows the person's true Nature to be understood.

During your appointment, Dr. Cravatta will ask you questions concerning your health concern, your digestion, your sleep, your diet, your overall emotional well being, past health issues, etc. Then she will feel your pulse. With the knowledge from your pulse, she will be able to set up a healing program that is individually designed for you and your lifestyle. With her refined intuition, she will be able to determine the best approach for you to be able to make progress towards a state of wellness.
