Inner Enlightenment is the true goal of health and healing.
Yoga is not just physical excercises; it is an Entire Way of Life.
The goal of any healing, religion, or spiritual path is to have the dormant enlightenment energy known as the kundalini energy, awakened inside of us.
The new key is that this spontaneous awakening of kundalini needs to be brought into the medical clinic setting and into hospitals.

DR. RAMA'S KEY CONCEPTS

Health through Enlightenment...

The true goal of health and healing is to rediscover inner enlightenment, known for eons and to the ancients.

Enlightenment is a broad term that incorporates a permanent inner state of wisdom, peace, joy, love and light along with a body and mind that is as disease-free as possible. Stages of enlightenment must be experienced over time; it is impossible to fully describe this state in words; yet the ancient and modern spiritual masters and saints insist that it exists.

Until enlightenment is permanently uncovered, we will never experience complete fulfillment and happiness; there will always be something "missing" in our lives no matter how successful or miserable we think we are.

Enlightenment is already within us; we have to rediscover its value and experience behind the body and mind.

Health, medicine and healing centers and clinics around the world should reflect this original ancient goal of mankind as a central theme of healing and recovery.

Inharmonious living and the myriad conditionings of the mind have clouded our original enlightenment experience.

Five Salient Principles for Health in the 21st Century:

1. Health is our birthright, not disease. We are all endowed with the potential for health and healing.

2. Spiritual methods and practices that foster enlightenment are the root of true healing.

3. We have to take responsibility for our own well-being and health as well as our preventive education while looking to health care practitioners to advise, guide, prescribe, diagnose and treat.

4. Beauty and radiance begins with our inner luster and energy—, not from merely treating the external partsof the body.

5. Food is Medicine: how, what, when, where, and why we eat.

6 Benefits of Meditation

Ever improving concentration and focus

Ever deepening peace, serenity, love, and bliss

Sharpening of our intellect and intuition

Balance of the functions and energies of the body

Greater abundance of energy for our daily use

Ever increasing freedom from limited thinking and narrowness of our ego

5 Reasons Why Spirituality is linked to Health

Without touching upon the deepest part of soul, we will never truly heal.

Spirituality of our own understanding allows greater serenity and freedom.

Self-absorption in our own ego fosters our own illness, selfless actions increase our energy.

Mindful meditation upon our spirit creates greater efficiency in our day to day.

Opening to a greater consciousness allows currents of healing to flow within the body and thus allows clearance of emotional, mental, and physical issues.

The Process of Yoga......

The process of Yoga gradually uncovers our enlightenment and establishes health and healing of body and mind.

Yoga is not a religion but is the underlying essence behind all religions and spirituality.

All spiritual and healing paths boil down to the same essence: that we are essentially infinite spirit veiled within a body and mind; but we have partially forgotten the experience of Spirit that is enlightenment.

Yoga is not just physical exercises; it is an entire way of life.

Yoga consists of ongoing, life-long, deep introspection and contemplation about our own personal issues that block our sense of balanced Self-esteem and health as well as other aspects: physical postures and breathing; nutritional and herbal recommendations based on our personal body and mental constitution; forms of detoxification; meditation of many styles; selfless service; and devotion to anything that uplifts ourselves and others. The final ingredient is the grace of Spirit that allows our inner dormant enlightenment to rise, flow and expand through our body and mind so that we may understand and experience this inner love, peace and bliss.

Six Reasons Yoga Will Improve Your Health

Through meditation, our own wisdom, power, bliss and love will arise spontaneously from your soul as your mind becomes clearer and brighter, leading us to actual enlightenment.
Greater flexibility of the entire body will allow us a freedom that we never knew was possible. Even a little practice will illustrate that we can honor ourselves through our bodies.
Greater intuition will arise as to what foods are appropriate for us at various times.
We learn to be rather than do, which allows us to spend greater periods of time resting in the present moment, the joyous "now".
We begin to appreciate that all life is our teacher, that our lessons and experiences are unique for us and we become proactive rather than remain passive.
Hidden creativity begins to arise as part of our own natural awareness.

Kundalini Energy...

Deep within us is the dormant enlightenment energy known as kundalini energy. In Sanskrit, kundalini means, "that which is coiled within a bowl".

The ultimate goal of any healing, religion, or spiritual path is to have this energy awakened so that we can experience our infinite consciousness that is normally limited as our day-to-day experience.

The goal of Yoga is to awaken and permanently unfold this energy, either by direct or indirect means. Yoga practices gradually awaken this energy; in addition a spiritually enlightened master can also awaken, unfold and guide this energy spontaneously.

This process of enlightenment is made easier and safer by considering a spiritual master or guru who is also fully enlightened. A guru is one who has traversed the process of Yoga and can help awaken and unfold others on their own personal journey.

There are a number of gurus around the world who are offering their guidance to hundreds of thousands around the world.

Although most of the ones I have worked with are from the East, gurus are not limited to the East. We are all gurus in various stages of awakening, as we become disciples or students of our own lives.

Spontaneous Awakening of Kundalini...

So, the new key is that this spontaneous awakening of kundalini needs to be brought into the clinic setting and into hospitals. Once we understand how to gradually practice and experience this inner energy the body and mind become healthier because this energy cleans away disease and despair. This along with practice and teaching of natural medicine principles of both East and West will foster the new paradigm in dealing with chronic physical ailments and difficulties within the mind. Conventional medicine also works side by side with ancient wisdom as well. Crisis is occurring around the world in health care because we have forgotten the original goal of health: natural living and spontaneous awakening and unfolding of enlightenment.

We must take the wisdom and experience of the awakened spiritual Yoga masters from around the world and apply it directly to health and healing in order to facilitate real and permanent change in people's lives.

This website introduces these basic concepts;subsequent articles will reflect these thoughts. It is my hope that the books written so far have captured glimpses of the importance of health, healing and enlightenment.
