    Identify Your Unique Strengths,

    Recognize Your Personal Imbalances, Learn How to Correct Them Ayurvedically and Thrive in Your Own Native Physiological Climate

    <

    ✓Learn the crucial difference between your current patterns and your “original” nature  

    ✓ Discover the key to heal your current symptoms – or your distorted state of doshas

    ✓Learn the all-important ‘Three-Things-That-Must-be-Known’ in order to heal and rejuvenate

    ✓Learn about interesting concepts like junk smells and junk sounds that, in addition to junk foods, drive your doshas into imbalance!  

    DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

    • You started off as a “fiery”, hyperactive kid but are bogged down by lethargy as an adult
    • Creative ideas just come to you but sometimes your thoughts race around a bit too fast
    • Your skin is turning oily and you have acne for the first time in your life… in your forties!
    • Or, as you get older, your skin gets dryer and dryer - no matter how often you moisturise it!
    • You used to feel juiced up earlier but you feel dry and papery more and more…

    If any of this sounds familiar, you are like most of us - in the middle of your own climate change crisis.

    “Wait right there”, you say, “what do you mean, my own climate change?”

    Yes, you’ve heard of global warming… but have you heard of this??

    It’s not just the glaciers in the Himalayas and the global ocean levels, Climate Change happens inside our bodies too, every day, all the time!

    Poor lifestyles and external stresses throw off the delicate balance of elements in our physiology, causing us to get too spacey, or fiery or boggy. You may call these imbalances the results of pathogenesis or oxidative stress but Ayurveda explains it in a far more real way, which we can all relate to…

    But first, the great news –

    Unlike climate change at the macro level, our internal climate can be reclaimed and restored. In fact, taking back this unique inner climate is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do for yourself and your family. Hyperbole? Not really. This is what Ayurveda tells us…

    AYURVEDA TELLS US THAT RIGHT AT THE EMBRYONIC STAGE ITSELF, THE FIVE ELEMENTS COMBINE IN US IN UNIQUE RATIOS TO MAKE UP OUR PRAKRUTI –OR INNATE NATURE.

    The pancha mahabhutas of

    Combine in us in unique combinations of doshas:

    To make our Prakruti.

    Each prakruti is completely unique, with certain elements predominating. (This is the reason, by the way, that your talkative best friend is so “spaced-out” - but more on that later!)

    External stresses and inputs act as the precursors to our inner climate change - disrupting our unique balance of elements, inviting imbalance and then ailment into our systems.

    SO WE EACH HAVE A UNIQUE INNER CLIMATE OR BODY CHEMISTRY WHICH IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHANGE. THAT’S GREAT, BUT WHY SHOULD I CARE?

    Because making the right choices for your family and for you is VERY confusing. After all, you are surrounded by so much generalized information and scientific findings that seem to change every day!

    You know what we mean - you’re drowning in questions about which food and diet trend are just fads.

    Questions like: “How do I know which form of exercise works best for me right now? Which foods may actually be aggravating my child’s attention deficit issues? Why is my reproductive health not improving despite weight loss? Is a gluten free diet the right choice for my individual body? And why does following the maximum of “eight hours of sleep a day” actually leave me feeling even more lethargic instead of refreshed?”

    Phew! That’s a lot of questions – but finding their answers becomes simpler when you know - really know - your PRAKRUTI or unique nature, doesn’t it?

    Think about it: Say, blueberries are a great source of antioxidants and all your friends are swearing by them. But you stay away, because you know the fruit acids from the blueberries are a “trigger” for your naturally dominant Pitta or fiery element, which anyway tends to overflow, leading to heartburn. You wisely prefer to get your antioxidants from milder, sweeter fruits, such as avocados and coconuts…

    That’s wise, Prakruti-driven decision-making in action and really is the KEY to good health.

    Understanding our Prakruti tells us the conditions under which we, as individuals, thrive. When you live, eat, sleep and work in harmony with your own climate, not your neighbor’s or your friend’s or even your partner’s -

    You prevent disease, stopping it even before it manifests

    You age better

    You feel energetic every day, not just on “some” days  

    The “fruits” of your action are better – your work yields more productive results, you are even in better metabolic and reproductive health

    You become calmer and turn into “that friend or family member everyone wants to be around”

    You handle change well

    And feel juicy, alive and light every second…

    Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? But hmmm…. wonder how many of us are living this idyll!?

    Let’s keep it real. Most of us are not!

    That is why understanding the balance of elements in you is so important! AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE OTHER, MORE EXCITING PART: YOUR OPTIMAL STATE IS AN IDYLL BUT IT IS ALSO A VERY, VERY ACHIEVABLE IDYLL.

    Ayurveda tells us the elements in us WANT to get back into their native nature. If we’re born Vata dominant, for instance, with the spacey, airy elements dominating our prakruti, you can be sure no matter how many fiery or boggy symptoms you display, your body wants to go into Vata mode. All it needs to get there is for the distorting pressures to be released, much like a child’s released slinky finds its shape back!

    “Sounds perfect”, you’re saying, “let me just find out if I’m a Vata-Kapha or Pitta-Vata type…”but that is just the first step because

    WE HAVEN’T YET SPOKEN ABOUT THE BIGGEST TWIST, SOMETHING WHICH EVEN THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING AYURVEDIC AND YOGIC PRACTICES NEED TO READ ABOUT… NOW!”

    Before you start making changes, think about THIS:

    You probably know you are not in a state of perfect balance or your native climate right now…

    But do you know you haven’t been in a long, long while too?

    Years of imbalances and external stresses means we have been in a state of vikruti – or altered doshas – for quite some time. Even when we try to recall our “ORIGINAL” nature, we might be referring to an imbalance of five years ago!!!

    SO HOW DO YOU GET TO YOUR PRAKRUTI – YOUR HIDDEN, TANTALIZING, INNATE OPTIMAL NATURE?

    How do you identify your current symptoms and peel back the layers of imbalances to zoom into your native climate, from inside-out?

    And how do you make sense of all this intelligence in a meaningful way that impacts your life and those of your family?

    To help you discover yourself and to learn what works for you, the individual, the Ayurveda Experience is proud to introduce its new course

    And this unique, exciting course - which is really like a voyage of discovery - has been authored by a leading light in Ayurveda in the West; a wise, smart and completely relatable teacher who shows you to really listen to what your unique body is saying.

    And like she says, “when your body talks, you better listen!”

    Meet Marisa Laursen (C.A.S., P.K.S., A.Y.T.)

    A Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist

    A Professor of Ayurveda at the California College of Ayurveda

    A Panchakarma Specialist

    A Sivananda Certified Yoga Teacher

    And a Spiritual Guidance Coach

    Want to know more about Marisa?

    Marisa received her certification from the American Institute of Vedic Studies and completed her postgraduate study in Ayurveda with Dr. Geetha S.R. of the Sree Sankara Ayurveda Hospital in Kerala, India.

    She is a professional member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and has a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from California State University, Fullerton, California. Marisa teaches a variety of Ayurveda and Yoga programs worldwide and is a life-long student of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta.

    Here is what Marisa has to say about the power of knowing your Prakruti:

    “In my two decades of healing with Ayurveda, the BIGGEST LESSON I have learnt is that no two individuals are alike. Ayurveda teaches that at the time of conception, there is a unique ratio of Vata, Pitta and Kapha that is determined and that makes us our own unique selves. Your prakruti never changes, and is your state of optimal health, the sum of all your tendencies. Our constitution (prakruti) is often defined in terms of the percentages of each dosha. For example, someone might be 50% Vata, 30% Pitta and 20% Kapha. Knowing this allows you to make informed lifestyle choices in order to maintain optimal health and balance according to your constitution.”

    Marisa’s course will show you how to learn your prakruti and to use this intelligence in small, practical ways that will improve your quality of life on the ground. How to identify what herbs are best for you, what foods are best for you, what time is best for you to go to bed, what time is best to arise each morning. What form of exercise is best, what sights, sounds, tastes, touch and smell! No fancy promises or hyperbole here, just real tips that work.

    One of the greatest joys of learning with Marisa is her ability to keep it real. Like she says:

    “My course won’t bring you to “perfect” health because, well, perfection is a cookie cutter concept. And Ayurveda isn’t interested in cookie cutter concepts. What my course will do, though, is help you work towards your optimal health. ”

    “Marisa Laursen is a wonderful, loving, connected, incredibly knowledgeable, living, radiant example of the path. These teachings will bring deep clarity to how to heal not only yourself but everyone you work with and whose life you touch. These teachings go deep and touch the heart and soul.”

    “What a wonderful learning experience I received from your teachings. Even more than the knowledge I acquired, I was blessed to meet such a special, caring and truly spirited person. You carry with you an authentic bright light that is continuously shining. You are a beautiful person with a full and open heart. I thank you.”

    Anette Levine

    And that is not all...

    The course illustrates concepts in vivid detail, with REAL examples of healing from Marisa’s 20-year-old practice. It also contains a treasury of Ayurvedic concepts gleaned from the deep chest of primary texts, like the Charaka Samhita. Highly advanced, complex concepts clarified so you can put them in practice. 

    Where else will you find such an eclectic yet focused range of topics explained by a world-renowned expert in such a fun, relatable format?

    This program is a genuine, unmissable opportunity to change your life now - and that’s not all! If you order the Platinum version now, not only will you get the DVDs delivered for free, you'll also get instant digital access to the course so you can begin learning after THE NEXT CLICK! Still unsure? You can sample the course to make up your mind. The ourse comes with an absolutely free 60-day money back guarantee so you can return it if you are not satisfied with the product! It is a fantastic no-loss opportunity!


    And that is not all...

    No shooting in the dark or prescribing generic solutions, the course EMPOWERS you to know and heal yourself. It’s one of the best investments you will ever make and especially because right now it is available at a heavily discounted price. That’s far less than what you would be spending on nutritionists, therapies and doctors in your quest for well-being! And it will give you the tools to help your entire family discover and enhance their true, hidden potential. A transformed, energetic lifestyle for your family for less than the price of five doctors’ benefits– you do the cost benefit analysis here!

    And here’s the most fun part: the course also tells you unexpected, exciting nuggets like why using a loofah on your skin may actually help with your frequent wet coughs…

    In Marisa’s words,

    “Something important to understand is that even one small change can have huge, positive ripple effects in your life. And changes that you make on a physical level not only help with bringing balance to your physical body, but to your mind as well, and vice versa.”

    Since Ayurveda provides such an amazing framework for understanding the Three Things That Must Be Known (the nature of the person, the nature of the imbalance, and the nature of the remedy), by understanding Ayurveda you are extraordinarily empowered to make healthy choices. No longer are boxes of “digestive” tea all the same. They each have unique properties, and each are best suited for conditions according to which dosha needs to be subdued.

    And you can really use this e-course to apply this perspective to every area of life and unlock your optimal self. Remember, the idyll is achievable because it’s not perfection we are chasing, but finding our own unique selves… the climate we best thrive in, like oranges in California and olives in Greece…
