Advanced Healing Course
Once a person has detoxified his body by following the advice given in the basic course, it is time to strengthen it further by knowing and practising the finer nuances of diet and nutrition. Having banished the foods and habits that corrode the body, one now erects a magnificent edifice on that strong foundation by extracting full benefits from every morsel that one eats.
To make sure that our body functions at its optimum capacity not only in the young age but all through life, one has to understand the mechanism which provides us strength and sustenance. It is a lifelong quest which can be pursued only if one is fully conversant with the inner working of this fantastic machine.
The advanced course makes one privy to the little-known techniques of nurturing the body so that every organ gets bathed in vitality. Not only that, the course simultaneously attempts to improve the mental and emotional well-being. All this is brought about by mindful eating, effective breath control, regular exercise and putting in place a stress reduction mechanism.
Most of our weaknesses and diseases are the result of mistakes that we unknowingly make. The topics covered in the advanced course relate to the damage caused by not knowing subtle rules of nutrition which are rarely discussed in public, on the facetious plea that the common man cannot grasp the technicalities. For instance, while everyone is concerned about the glucose level in one’s blood, very few have even heard about the havoc caused by excess insulin.
The basic course is all about banishing those items which eat away our innards. The focus in the advanced course is on how to get the maximum strength and energy from the healthy food that now goes past our gullet.
Please note that there should be at least five students for organising the course outside Chandigarh. Those living in isolated or far off places where it is not possible to form a group of five can do the course online one-on-one through Skype or Face Time video conferencing.
