We have created a Short Survey that will give you the opportunity to share what is most needed and wanted by you, how we can better support you and provide what you may wish to see within our community.  Click here to fill out your survey.

We hope these newsletters provide inspiration and support to all of you as you continue to serve your communities with the wisdom of Ayurveda.

Over these past few months, it has been an amazing experience to connect with so many practitioners and Doctors. We are each important leaders within our communities that are custodians of this wisdom that so many are hungry for.

I personally hear almost daily how people are searching for that sacred way of living in partnership with Spirit, honoring the seasons and times of day. They’re hungry for regular ritual and how to live in this sacred rhythm of balance.

Each of us is playing such an important part in re-establishing this amazing way of living. We are each important leaders within our communities and our greatest service, more than anything, is Living the Way.

We hear from fellow practitioners, that the main challenge that prevents them from serving with Ayurveda is thinking they don’t know enough. This causes so many to get stuck in paralyzed or procrastination mode where you put everything ahead of Practicing, saying that life is too busy or you have more urgent matters at hand.

We will always be humble students, always experiencing that the more we learn the more we don’t know. Yet the small drops of wisdom you have are enough to share with others that they may find balance and begin taking those steps to reclaiming this rhythmic flow of life. My teacher, Dr. Kotecha said to me “Ayurveda is like an ocean and my glass is but a quarter full.” He’s been practicing 30+ years and his “little” knowledge is like an Ocean to me. So the drops of wisdom you have are like an ocean others.

We are hence each important leaders in sharing this ancient wisdom. And the best means of sharing it is living it, allowing our radiant life of balance be its own spokesperson.

Ayurvedic Health Center Expands
The Awareness of Ayurveda is growing and expanding. Practitioners are experiencing more business and in turn more are experiencing the results of living an Ayurvedic Lifestyle.

The Ayurvedic Health Center in Bellingham has just expanded! Here’s a little story by Juliet, sharing her growth.

So, after I graduated in 2006 from the Ayurvedic Institute I started practicing in Bellingham. Fortunately, over time, a group of amazing practitioners with complimentary skills has joined me through the years. We’ve been in our existing space for about six years now. I think we outgrew our space about four years ago! I always laugh when I think about it because every nook and cranny in our space is overflowing.

Finally, we’ve found the right location into which we can expand the retail store. We’re in a downtown office building and a space across the hallway opened up. Ashlie LaLonde is going to manage the retail while I continue to focus on consultations and ayurvedic yoga privates. Ashlie will also continue to offer her chakra balancing and gemstone treatments as well. Ashlie graduated from the Earthwalk School of Energy Healing about five years ago and at that time completed an internship with us. I was impressed with her talent and asked her to join our group-she’s been with us since. She has an amazing collection of gemstones.

So, as well as offering ayurvedic herbs, oils, teas, ghees, yantras, malas, jewelry, Ayurvedic yoga DVDs and sundries, we’ll also have beautiful gemstones. We consulted one of my former classmates from the Ayurvedic Institute, Lexie Neonakis who is a fabulous Jyotishi. Lexie determined the most auspicious time for our grand opening.

The date is set for Thursday, October 4th. We’ll be open for business starting at 11:00am that day and then continue until our celebration party kicks off at 5:05 pm-ending at 7:30. The retail hours for the new Wellness Shop will be 11:00-6:00 on Tuesdays and 11:00-3:00 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

We welcome all feedback on items that our community would like us to carry. Just let us know. Also, most of our products are available now through our website. AyurvedicHealthCenter.com.
