Holistic metamorphosis

THERE IS a silence in the room full of people - say about 20 of them. The silence is comforting and peaceful - the master intones the instructions to a world of visualisation where all is divided into positive and negative elements. The thought process takes each one into a realm where you deal with it and throw out all that has probably caused discomfort in the first place - a process quite simply called the dispensing of the karmic seed which has been attacking the body at various levels through ailments rooted in deeps seated emotional patterns of occurrences.

In a world full of dissent and imponderables, it is left to people such as Tatwamasi Dixit to try and guide people towards holistic health and well-being. Of course there are many techniques and methods that have surfaced in the last few years where ancient practices are being reinvented to suit the modern individual - to cope with the stress and ailments of a fast developing world. But each one is unique in its ability to provide relief to believers who swear by their own positive experiences. But obviously there is much more to heal - there are too many people unable to deal with problems self-induced or otherwise.

Kayakalpa or metamorphosis, the holistic center set up by Tatwamasi Dixit applies ancient Vedic principles to modern management, especially in the area of health. He says the basic idea is to harness three energy forms of iccha, (intension), gnana (knowledge) and kriya (action) to achieve material, health and spiritual success. According to him, in everything that we do, the first step is sowing the creative seed of will. Then comes energising it through the power of wisdom leading to the final step in actually doing things that need to be done.

While this is something he advocates for those in business and enterprise and professional in the field of health, where there has been many successful cases according to him, his holistic approach involves integrating ayurveda, yoga, energy healing, creative visualisation, to get rid of chronic ailments such as diabetes, heart ailments, blood pressure, asthma, arthiristis, cholesterol etc. Not just healing, these methods will help in remaining fit, healthy and disease-free, he says. He also designs a diet kit to enhance the emotional intelligence opening up to spirituality. This works on the premise that the body has a natural self-healing process by which it can keep healthy most of the times. During sickness the individual can play a part in helping the body cure itself.

Other than the fact that this has been supported by research and study, Dixit believes that ancient Indian methods were designed for a complete workable system of maintaining good health. A diet that is healthy, free of toxins, an everyday routine of yoga and pranayama, restraining from activities that deter the healing process can lead to a truly wholesome individual.

He says diagnosis is done at the level it has hit the body - in other words tackle the problem at the root cause and parallely do an ayurvedic analysis of the 'vata pita kapha', an imbalance of which leads to ailments and diseases. Combine this with yogic practices - therapeutic pranayama, meditation, creative visualisation, talking to the affected organs and mantra chanting. All these effectively helps in curing chronic ailments, he says.

Tatwamasi Dixit was conferred the title 'Vedic pundit' at the age of 17 by the Uttar Pradesh Sanskrit Academy and has been practising and teaching Vedic sciences for more than 20 years.

Born in Varanasi, he graduated from the Benares Hindu University and has done an in-depth study in the field of human resources development.

He conducts workshops where he has integrated Vedic principles to modern management system, but his special area is healing, where he has worked in the field of energy science. He learnt the art of psychotherapy and different forms of healing in Europe and the Philippines and tries to use modern scientific methods along with Vedic science for healing therapy.

To get your mind, body and soul together a visit to the center could be fruitful. Regular workshops on health are conducted where those who believe in alternate and holistic systems can benefit.

Located at Judge Jambulingam Road, Tatwamasi Dixit can be contacted at 8552655 or through oorjacon@vsnl.com, ivsl@satyam.net.in. In addition, he will soon host a site through which consultations and questions will be answered.
