Healing

Yeah! Let’s talk about spirituality and Enlightenment. This article’s main topic is The Third Eye, which is a mystical concept that refers to an invisible eye located in the centre of your forehead, just above the eyebrows.

When we think about Thailand, what comes to mind are probably beaches, exotic places, tropical fruit, sightseeing, and maybe even Thai massage but this healing miracle has nothing to do with any of the above. All cultures in the world have some system of healing. People have always had problems with their bodies due to disease, injuries or accidents, and that will never change. Healers of some kind have always been a necessity for any society. Such healing systems range from shamanic approaches to modern medicine with innumerable varieties in between. Even in western societies which have officially subscribed to modern medicine as the only healing system, there is a huge subculture of alternative approaches. Older traditional cultures have relied on such methods for thousands of years since there were no other means available. All of these methods have merit and work sometimes, but not all the time – just like modern medicine.

After some reflection and investigation, I discovered that Ayurveda is often presented in a rigid and unintuitive manner, which is a departure from its original purpose as a nurturing and health-promoting science. This made me consider my own experiences with Ayurveda. I learned intuitively through immersion, much like one acquires a first language effortlessly. This realisation led me to the conclusion that Ayurveda ought to be shared as a comprehensive set of principles that can be applied holistically, as opposed to a list of practices or prescriptions.
