Ayurvedic astrology uses the sidereal system for divination. The main difference from western astrology is that it uses the placement of the earth in the fixed stars (constellations) for a chartreading. The earth is used as the ascendant which changes every two hours so knowing your time of birth is helpful and the reading itself is more accurate as to what particular stars andplanets are influencing you the most. The planets are seen as cosmic consciousness with particular qualities that influence our Karma (actions). Understanding these influences through your chart reading can show you your tendencies in life. This understanding can help you shift from unhealthy habits that may be taking you out of balance to healthy habits using Ayurvedic lifestyle practices. Gain Clarity to see beyond the gunas (sattva, rajas & tamas) to your True Nature.

Qigong is a general term used for many ancient practices almost lost and forgotten. These practices were kept secret and hidden due to the cultural revolution in China.

Vedanta is the crest jewel of all schools of philosophical thought which preaches the Unity of Existence, or Oneness of Consciousness. It proclaims that all these innumerable beings are, in essence, one and the same. It thrills and widens the heart, brightens the intellect, and makes one experience the Absolute Being, the Only Reality. Goodness of heart and intelligence of brain, which the whole world considers as a marvellous possession, is superseded by the Divinity of Absolute Consciousness through direct intuitional cognition of the Universal Soul!

From the 'six schools of philosophy,' Nyaya is the school of rationalists that focuses on knowledge and logic. The six schools of Indian philosophy are Sāṅkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Mīmāṁsā, and Vedānta. Composed by Akṣapāda Gautama, the sutras are divided into five chapters, each with two sections. The work begins with a statement of the subject matter, the purpose, and the relation of the subject matter to the attainment of that purpose. The ultimate purpose is salvation—i.e., complete freedom from pain—and salvation comes from the attainment of knowledge.
