Packages
Heart Healing In All Dimensions : 3 Session Pack
If you carry a deep sadness, broken heart, or tight chest: This package is for you. The benefits of Heart Healing In All Dimensions (Hrd Basti) are cumulative and powerful. Doing 3 (or even 6!) of these sessions together allows for exponential healing, cellular nourishment, and transformation at a significant cost savings.
Ideally, these three heart-work sessions should be scheduled in fairly quick succession: For example, 3 days in a row; or 3 in a week with a rest day between each one; or once a week; or at most, one session every 2 weeks.
You may have different experiences and sensations each time; that's a completely normal part of the healing process. I recommend carving out ample time to rest and integrate the therapies for the duration of treatment. You can still work, play and live your life; but there will be deep healing happening underneath the surface, so allow yourself space for this transformation.

The Pillars of Ayurvedic Medicine
FOOD
"If the diet is correct, no medicine is needed. If the diet is wrong, no medicine will work."
Since each of us has a unique constitution and digestive capacity, there’s no one-size-fits-all “Ayurvedic diet”. However, there are definitely foods that act as medicine for your overall health and for specific conditions; and other foods that drag you down. Ayurveda isn’t a fad diet; it’s a mind shift in how we think about how we eat. After a thorough analysis of your natural constitution and current imbalances, I’ll teach you how to use food as medicine; including simple, delicious recipes that you can start right away.
LIFESTYLE
"The rhythms of nature are music and medicine. Harmonizing with them is your superpower."
You are not separate from nature. Human bodies, minds and spirits function best when they’re aligned with (instead of against) the rhythms of nature. Modern culture promotes the belief that your health and happiness depend on doing ‘more’, and buying the next new thing. However, tuning your awareness to support the body’s natural intelligence is actually the most immediate, sustainable and cost-effective medicine our world has to offer.
Rather than running from fad to fad, you’ll learn to listen to what your body ‘really’ needs in terms of exercise, rest and rejuvenation. Simple daily habits and rituals will ground you. Your body will re-pattern, heal and thrive.
BREATH WORK, YOGA & MEDITATION
"If you change your breath, you can change your whole life."
Mind – Body practices open space for deeper healing. They deliver immediate and powerful results, with long-lasting benefits. Therapeutic yoga can help specific conditions such as insomnia, thyroid imbalance, digestion, bone density, anxiety, etc. – or be used for overall wellbeing. Anybody can do yoga and meditation. If you can breathe, you can improve your health through these profound practices.
You can greatly enhance your Ayurvedic journey with Yoga offerings right here at Rashmi Sacred Life Sciences. Learn more about Classes & Packages.
HERBS
"The forest is the medicine cabinet of the gods."
Over 2,000+ years, Ayurveda has compiled the richest knowledge-base of natural pharmacology in the world. A supportive herbal protocol, based on your unique situation and needs (rather than a random or one-herb-fits-all approach), kickstarts your disease-healing process on a cellular level. Plant medicines offer synergized actions, without the extreme side effects of pharmaceuticals. Some of these herbs are already hiding in plain sight in your kitchen cabinet! Others can be found in highly specialized preparations from safe, reputable makers.
Your Life Is An Infinitely Evolving Dance, With the Elements Of Nature As The Music.

FAQ's - Ayurveda
Does Ayurvedic medicine really work?
Yes!!! Ayurveda is a living medical science that's been healing bodies for 5,000+ years. We search for the root cause of your pain, rather than a quick fix for the top-level symptom while leaving the underlying problem to keep spreading underneath the surface.
There are a few cases where Western medicine has clear advantages: medical emergencies and acute injuries -- such as aggressive cancers, broken bones, and anything for which you would normally call an ambulance / go to the emergency room. For almost everything else, Ayurveda is a safe, natural, sustainable system for healing the body from the inside out.
I stress education with my clients, so that they leave feeling great, empowered, relaxed, and excited about their healing journey.
How are you going to heal me?
I'm not going to heal you! I'm going to help your body open up its channels and capacity to heal itself. With a combination of education, herbs, food and lifestyle recommendations, yoga, meditation, etc - you'll learn what your unique body needs in order to regain balance, alignment and ease.
I'm not a licensed allopathic doctor; I'm a thoughtful, trained, and experienced Vedic educator, consultant, and practitioner. I offer a wide variety of recommendations to help you and your condition from a time-tested, natural Vedic perspective. However, I will never advise against your primary / western doctors. My role is not to replace your primary healthcare, but to provide valuable insights, complements, and personal empowerment on your road to 360° health and radiance.
When can I expect to see results?
Both immediately and later! Some parts of Ayurveda will yield almost instant results and "feeling better". However, anything changing at a deeper level requires time, patience, consistency, and 'showing up for yourself - again and again'. You're in charge of your healing trajectory, and the more you show up for yourself, the more you'll fall in love with your own journey, and the more you'll heal in ways you've never even imagined before.
