Global SVA Pulse and Marma E-Course with Concluding Practicum

Vaidya Mishra is Launching a 9-Month, In-Depth On-Line E-Course on SVA Pulse Assessment and Marma Techniques with a concluding in-person workshop

“Pulse assessment is the very soul of Ayurveda.”  ~ Vaidya Mishra

After much reflection, Vaidya Mishra has chosen to present an in-depth 9-month, on-line Pulse and Marma Course for those with dedication, faith and the deep desire to learn this ancient, sacred knowledge directly from his Shaka Vansiya Ayurvedic (SVA) lineage. With Vaidya’s experience of teaching Ayurveda in the west for the past several decades, he has put together a system of combining the ancient marma point techniques with nadi pariksha, the pulse assessment from his 5,000 year old SVA lineage, in order to help students understand the pulse and read it accurately and effectively.  One of the unique benefits of teaching these two techniques together within one course, is that students can learn through experiencing the perceptible changes in the pulse that occur after applying different SVA marma treatment protocols.  It is Vaidya’s great desire – as well as his intention – that students will be proficient at naturally picking up the major, common pulse imbalances by the end of this course.
This year’s course will present all of the theories and techniques of SVA pulse assessment and marma, divided into monthly, 1-hour modules over a 9-month period, culminating with a 3-day in-depth weekend practicum at Vaidya’s Prana Center in Chatsworth, California.  The course format will be as follows:

•    All students will receive a 5-DVD set containing 9 hours of video footage from the previous SVA Pulse and Marma Course with Vaidya.  In this way, students can watch and listen to the lectures multiple times, and gain an understanding of the basics of SVA pulse assessment and marma techniques at their own pace.
•    Students will also receive an in-depth, illustrated (i.e., detailed pictures of the marma points, etc.) SVA Pulse and Marma Course Manual, based upon the previous course.  It will be very useful for review, as well as for future reference.  Students will receive one lesson each month to focus on during this 9-month course.  Please see the attached table of contents for the manual.
•    A special website which is accessible only to students will be provided for posting comments and questions.  Questions will be answered in a timely fashion, and posted for all course participants to see and benefit from.
•    A monthly 1-hour Saturday lecture with Vaidya will be provided via a conference call, for all students to attend; each lecture will focus on the subject matter presented for that month.
•    Students will read the monthly lesson and watch the videos to grasp the theoretical knowledge presented each month, ask questions, receive answers, hear Vaidya’s monthly lecture on the subject, and then start practicing the pulse assessment and marma techniques with friends and family members, one aspect at a time.  It is Vaidya’s conviction that this repetition and self-practice brings deeper understanding.
•    At the culmination of the course, students will attend a 3-day weekend practicum with Vaidya at his Prana Center in Chatsworth, California. The format of this course will enable students to come prepared with the necessary foundation of knowledge and experience, enabling them to focus and absorb more from this precious time with Vaidya.  In this way, each student will have the opportunity to receive a more refined and profound understanding of this ancient and subtle technique of pulse assessment.

The course will be launched via a conference call with Vaidya Mishra on Friday, July 18th at 6:00 a.m., on the muhurta, the designated auspicious time for initiating this course.  On this call, Vaidya will begin the course with Vedic chanting as part of the opening ceremony for the students to be initiated into receiving this sacred, ancient knowledge from his Shaka Vansiya Ayurvedic (SVA) lineage.
Total cost of the course (including the 9-hour video and in-depth course manual) is $200/month.  A discount of 15% will be given to those wishing to pay for the entire 9-month course at one time by July 1, 2014. The course DVD’s and the first month’s course manual will be shipped upon registration.
