nadi parikshanam & vijnanam
Nadi Parikshanam is the Ayurvedic art & science of reading the pulse of a client, most commonly at the radial artery, employing sensitivity of the index, middle & ring fingers to discern even the intricate facets of a client’s physiological, emotional, mental, & also astrological state of well-being or imbalance. Through the practice of Nadi, not only our hands, but our whole being, becomes receptive & refined in all areas of sensory perception.
There is a calming, therapeutic power in carefully & intentionally reading the pulse of client; a time of providing some emotional relief through feelings of being “seen & heard”, for individuals who have possibly searched a long time, for someone to simply be still, present, & listening.
Nadi Vijnanam refers to the deeper knowledge, & interpretation of often hidden, nuanced pulse findings. Translation & interpretation of this knowledge, as well as the skill of both inner & outer sensory observation, listening through the heart & intuition, are all elements of true pulse reading.
invaluable skills
My Shamana Preceptorship is exclusively & thoughtfully designed for students of the Living Ayurveda Program at Yoga Veda Institute, where students follow a clear & deeply supported pathway into Ayurvedic Health Counselor or Ayurvedic Practitioner Certification, virtually & at their own pace. Yoga Veda programs also include preparation for passing the National Ayurvedic Medical Association Board Certification Exam in the United States, an internationally recognized credential.
This Clinical Pulse Reading Program is designed for Ayurvedic Health Counselor students completing their required 40 clinical hours of specialized training, in-person with an accredited Yoga Veda Preceptor. During your Yoga Veda coursework, I will also be supporting you through insightful recordings & Zoom meeting reviews of your 75 client case studies, which are essential to the completion of an Ayurveda Health Counselor certification.
Classical Nadi training will help you to find your calm & centered presence & to refine an invaluable skill, with the mastery of Nadi forming a natural bridge to further study in an Ayurvedic Practitioner Program & beyond into a lifetime of living practice. While you step more fully into the role of clinician & support of clients, you will also receive mentorship lasting well beyond this opening into the secrets of the pulse.
sensitive guidance
This Nadi experience is created from over 30 years of client care in my small, private practice, drawing from the traditional Vedic arts & sciences of Hatha Yoga, Jyotish & Vastu, as well as a life lived close to Nature. Over the years I have naturally come to specialize in the areas that I love most, Nadi Parikshanam/Vijnanam, Tanmatra Chikitsa & Marma Therapy.
My mentoring & training methods involve keen attention to the ways in which each student absorbs & embodies knowledge through all of their senses. Slow, steady & sensitive guidance of students from their present moment of inquiry, through sustained mentoring connection, & long term sharing of valuable resources are all foundational in my teaching approach.
beyond theory
Through this Nadi training, you will move beyond theory & into intuitive & astute clinical assessment & interpretation of the pulse, the river of life. We will practice nourishing ways of increasing sensory receptivity & intuition, hands-on reading of 7 distinctive pulse layers, interpretive drawing & journaling, & a good deal of inner listening & reflection, to evoke a deep & thorough understanding of this art & science.
Learning to read, translate & express the language of the pulse in your own way, & with ease, into daily rituals & rhythms that each client will understand, strengthens confidence & trust in oneself with each reading. Learning Nadi through a living lineage of Ayurveda, gives to every practitioner a reliable methodology, a natural order of discernment, and a peaceful abode within ones own heart.
