For 21 years, Dr. John Douillard has been teaching Ayurvedic medicine, fitness, nutrition and natural health. Along with Deepak Chopra, he co-directed an Ayurvedic cancer center for eight years, and is responsible for training more than 2,000 Western doctors in the Ayurvedic medical discipline.
Dr. Douillard is an Ayurvedic practitioner. This means his view of the body and what health means is radically different. He feels passionately about helping people heal their bodies and minds and restore balance in their lives naturally.
John attended an Ayurvedic lecture in the late ’70s that transformed his hobby into a vocation. Initially wanting to identify and experience the ‘zone’ in which an athlete performs at maximum potential, John discovered a secret at that lecture involving the simultaneous experience of dynamic activity and composure.
John came to see that if he trained less as a professional tri-athlete, he could perform better and accomplish more. It seems that the source of his activity was rest!
With this principle that you can do anything if you first establish silence, John began to train athletes. Before long he realized that what can apply to exercise can apply to life. He began to recognize and understand the benefits of a spiritual life in disarming the protective nervous system, unraveling stress, and releasing the real you.
Bringing the body back into balance is vital to its ability to heal itself. Ayurvedic medicine is designed to do this. Traditional Western medicine speaks the language of disease. In contrast, Ayurvedic medicine offers information about the body’s imbalances, which underlie what it’s trying to heal.
Teaching people to use Ayurvedic medicine in order to grasp the spiritual transformation that can happen when we look beyond the physical is Dr. Douillard’s passion. He feels his calling is as a servant to help people, and he is committed to continuing to develop his abilities to this end. As he teaches others to do the same, his hope is that these will shine their light on others who, in turn, will transform to affect still more people. In this way, we can change the world.
John Douillard has a very different view of the body and what health means. If youd like to discover the one basic cause of all ill health, as well as how to insure good health through prevention, visit this link to hear the John Douillard interview.
