Ayurveda

AYURVEDA is the ancient healing practice of India. It was founded in Southern India and the Himalayas more than 5,000 years ago by seers, sages, and gurus.

They created a system that uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual’s body, mind, and spirit [breath] in harmony and balance with nature.

More simply put, Ayur-Veda (Sanskrit for “Knowledge of Life”) can be defined as a system of healing that teaches the harmony of five elements. They are known as Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space (ether). They are found in all humans and constantly strive for balance as three energy systems or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Indian filmmaker Pan Nalin’s film travels 15,000 km from India to Greece and the USA. Nalin provides a fascinating account of the ancient practices of Ayurveda, which is experiencing a burgeoning interest.

Over the last three years, over 500 books on Ayurveda have been published in 60 languages in 50 countries.

French composer Cyril Morin has a deep interest in Indian musical traditions and philosophy. For him the musical soundtrack is a way of balancing music, meditation, and healing.

Cyril Morin says “Music has given me the opportunity of meeting extraordinary people. Each of them has shown me a different perspective, a different angle with which I have been able to broaden my own horizons, leading me a step further into yet another unexplored territory.”
