Amnanda ~ touching minds

The Amnanda Process is an Ayurvedic ‘rasayana’ or rejuvenating therapy that  triggers a deep process of revitalization that acts at the levels of body, brain and mind. Amnanda means "the path to joy" and this is at the heart of all Amnanda treatments and the spirit of Ayurveda. 

According to Ayurveda, physical and mental trauma leaves a residual trace in our cells at the level of cell memory. These residues negatively impact our daily lives, our health, our ability to heal and can lead to premature signs of aging.The main goal of the Amnanda process is to create a different interpretation of adverse experiences, at the level of cell memory; to reduce their negative effect on our daily lives and allow a process of rejuvenation and emotional freedom to unfold.

Developed from a Tibetan tradition of Ayurveda, the Amnanda Process is a therapeutic program of twelve relaxing oil treatments carried out monthly over the course of a year.The oils used in Amnanda are specially prepared with herbs and mantra and are applied to the whole body. The Amnanda therapist uses a combination of touch, herbs, oils and compassionate presence to initiate a process designed to release the negative effects of stress, adverse experiences and tension held at the subconscious level.

It is a journey that unfolds over the year - releasing trauma held in different areas of the body and at deeper levels with each successive treatment. Healing begins from the first treatment and each person’s journey is highly individual but usually always includes renewed enthusiasm, happier relationships, greater clarity and direction in life, together with restored youthful vitality. 

The cleansing and healing effects of the oil treatments are further supported by drinking our two specially formulated herbal teas - Green Tea boosts the immune system and Woman Vitaland Man Vital Tea helps support the hormonal system. For two months during the year, a tincture is also taken daily to strengthen and tone the skin and connective tissues. 

Amnanda Therapist Training

Amnanda is a beautiful treatment to give as well as receive and is a wonderful gift to share with others. Therapist training takes place over the course of a year with participants both giving and receiving Amnanda within a small group of trainees. Training is held over 12 days providing the opportunity for the group to exchange experiences and discover the scope of the therapy as they go through the process together. Giving and receiving treatments within the group creates a certain energy, whereby each treatment also becomes an initiation, enabling the participants to give Amnanda treatments to others from the third session onward.
