| Hello,
I am looking into doing a panchakarma in April. I have been researching in the internet about places to go. So far I have found two that are interesting. The Ayurvedic Institute in New mexico or National Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in New York. Does anyone has any reccomendation about this places or any other?
Thank you, Namaste, Blessings to all |

| I know Kripalu offers this but it looks like the next session is not offered until May. (I've enjoyed my stays at Kripalu, but know nothing about their Panchakarma programs.) |

| is there an ayurvedic doctor close to you that you could consult in performing your own panchakarma?
if you were planning on taking time out of your schedule to do it anyways, you could save a boatload by doing it yourself. it's not that hard, but i can understand how the tensions of home could create an atmosphere detrimental to panchakarma 
additionally, i would not recommend doing it by yourself unless you had guidance.
...
how much panchakarma are you planning on doing?
i bet either of those places would be good. i've heard of this place in Iowa, i think, called the Raj. my mom went there, said it was pretty swanky.

| Thanks for the advice and help. I have no ayurvedic doctor near by and I would like to go to a retreat so I can be under profesional supervision. I have never done one before. I think I will be calling New Mexico for their 5 day intensive.

| You are lucky that you have no panchakarma source close to you. Because:
a) Actually, you do not need Panchakarma in general. And, this might force you to look into other options, possibly much superior to the panchakarma.
b) And, if you are still seriously Interested in Panchakarma, I mean you are interested in knowing it much more than benefits of it, then you shall travel long to prove that interest.

| Thanks,
I have been told that it would be a good idea for me to have a panchakarma. I am currently Vata aggravated. I have lost a lot of weight and have a very active mind. I have also become very sensitive to food. All test come good. And I wanted to try this. I have been studying Ayurveda on my own for a while and trying to live according to my constitution but I still need help. I practice daily meditation and Yoga but my mind is so active I find it hard to achieve a meditative state. I have tried many things and i am in the search for help.
When you say travel far. What do you mean? If you have any advice it will be greatly appreciate it.

| If you wish to study Ayurveda, I have no problems. Without knowing your background, I would say you should give around 6 to 10 years to study Ayurveda. But, then you are going to find exactly what I wrote above with ===> marks. That is in short, in your case, a) forget Ayurveda for now. Including Vata Pitta Kapha. b) Take up Instructions from Experienced Health+Yoga teacher and follow it for sufficient time that should be much less than understanding and incorporating Ayurveda. c) Travel until you find such a person. If you wish to travel to Virginia, see me.
d) For your meditation needs PM me. Why PM and not general post, I shall inform you while we do PM.
Best Luck. I admire your intentions of attaining health.
