In the Mind Detox Program we use the ancient Vedic method of Ashtanga Yoga but any constructive thinking is good. The first step called Yama, is where you begin thinking about your own actions and come up with your own ideas of what is important for you. It is often translated into the ‘moral codes’. The second step, Niyama, is to practice what you believe in. I don’t particularly like the word moral, as I hear so much convention and established ideas in it, and that’s not what Yama is. More than moral codes it is about what makes you feel at peace and healthy, your ideas of right and wrong, and they are different from any other persons process of thoughts. What counts is what you believe in, not others.
Why is this so important? There are few things that are so unhealthy as when we look away. When we see things we think are wrong but we don’t change it we lose Prana, vitality, the life energy or life force. Prana is the term for being healthy, to thrive and be alive. To change this is one of the most important things to change for your own health (and for everything around you). If you think it is wrong to litter and you do it anyway, or if you think it is wrong to look away when a kid or a dog is beaten but you do anyway, you will hurt yourself. It is like smoking, overeating, or anything that you do knowing that it hurts you in the long run.
It is all connected. When you do your Yama-work you will be aware of what is destructive for your health in terms of what you do or don’t do. It is much more likely that you will stop with those destructive habits and stop ‘looking away’ when you reflect upon what to do instead. Sometimes we don’t need more than a little time to stop and think. 30 minutes, that’s all we need, because we already know. There is nothing to figure out, there is only action we need. Just do it!

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜
