“I observe and see a person
totally through the pulse — his body, his mind, his emotions
—and then I work on those aspects one-to-one with that person.
This is the work that I have been doing all these years and I love
what I do.” —Pankaj Naram |
This is how it all begins when you come for an appointment at
Ayushakti Ayurved Health Centers the world over.
|
First, each client arrives and registers to
check-in at the clinic. You are then ushered into the office of the vaidya
(pronounced vide- |
|
|
|
|
yuh), or Ayurvedic practitioner. The vaidya lightly touches
your wrist to feel the combination of 360 possible subtle pulses
within your body.
To the vaidya, the pulse is a subtle language that the
adept practitioner learns to “read.” These 360 subtle
variations of the pulse are indicators to the underlying
physiological imbalances that can cause acute and chronic disease. As
the vaidya reads the pulse, he or she is able to ascertain
what is happening in your body, mind and emotions. Although the
science of “reading” the pulse in this way is still not
well known in the United
States, Ayurvedic practitioners
have successfully practiced this technique for thousands of years.
After reading the pulse in a matter of seconds, the vaidya
will share with you his findings and recommendations. Depending on
the nature of your health or condition, your Ayurvedic practitioner
may recommend a few herbal supplements and suggest a particular diet.
Sometimes the vaidya will recommend specialized Ayurveda
therapies known as panchakarma and marma chikitsa. |

“Years ago,
when I was studying with one of the best acupuncturists and Chinese
pulse readers in the country, he told me, ‘If you ever meet a
good Ayurvedic physician, study pulse with him.‘ I came to Pankaj
Naram’s workshop and recognized him to be a sage. He has the
right way of being. When he takes the pulse, he’s seeing all the
other bodies – spiritual and non-spiritual – of the being
before him.”

“I had written a list of my
diverse complaints to tell Pankaj Naram. I sat down facing him and
immediately felt at ease. He gently took my hand to feel my pulse, and
as he gazed into my eyes, I felt the beginning of a healing process at
that moment. Without my telling him anything from my long list, he went
through my completed collection of complaints and infirmities. He
jotted down the correct remedies to take and then smiled, satisfied,
and asked if he had missed anything. Indeed he had not.”

“I had what I thought was a
flare-up of an ulcer that had been troubling me for two years. After
taking my pulse, Pankaj Naram asked if I had been to India or Mexico. And I had! Pankaj
Naram said my stomach problems were caused by parasites and that this
condition would go away after I took the herbs that he recommended. I
did as he suggested and within a month the problem was gone.”
