This ten-lesson Ayurvedic Psychology course offers a profound, classical exploration of the mind, consciousness, behavior, and emotional suffering through the lens of Ayurveda and the broader Vedic sciences. Designed for serious students and practitioners, the course moves far beyond introductory mental-health concepts to examine how perception, memory, desire, attachment, karma, and spiritual awareness shape psychological wellbeing.
Across the full series, students study the structure and function of the mind (manas, buddhi, ahamkara, chitta), the influence of the three gunas, and the central roles of dhi (perception), dhriti (will), and smriti (memory) in mental balance. The course explores why suffering arises, how conditioning and misperception distort reality, and how Ayurvedic psychology guides individuals toward clarity, neutrality, and sattvic living.
Rather than focusing on diagnostic labels, this curriculum emphasizes self-knowledge, ethical living, meditation, lifestyle alignment, and Vedic counseling principles as pathways to healing. Practical applications are woven throughout, including Ayurvedic psychotherapy models, counseling strategies, and spiritual psychology.
This course is ideal for intermediate and advanced Ayurvedic students, herbalists, counselors, yoga teachers, and dedicated learners seeking a deep, consciousness-based approach to mental and emotional health.

Ayurvedic Psychology: Parts 1 & 2 is a comprehensive ten-lesson immersion into Ayurveda’s sophisticated understanding of the human mind and the causes of mental and emotional suffering. Rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts, Sankhya philosophy, yoga psychology, and decades of clinical teaching experience, this course presents psychology as a path of awareness, balance, and spiritual maturation—not merely symptom management.
Students begin by exploring how perception is formed, why all experience is filtered through memory, and how the mind continuously reconstructs reality based on past impressions. Core Ayurvedic concepts such as buddhi, manas, ahamkara, chitta, the gunas, and pragyaparadha (mistake of the intellect) are examined as foundational forces shaping behavior, emotion, and identity.
As the series unfolds, learners investigate desire, attachment, pleasure, fear, and ambition, and how these mental forces either support or obstruct psychological freedom. The course clarifies the four aims of life (dharma, artha, kama, moksha), the stages of life, and the ways karma and samskaras influence both suffering and growth. Considerable attention is given to anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, and conditioning—not as isolated disorders, but as outcomes of misperception, imbalance, and unresolved impressions.
Advanced lessons introduce Ayurvedic psychotherapy models, including Satvavajaya Chikitsa (mind training) and Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa (spiritual therapy), alongside Vedic counseling principles that emphasize guidance, neutrality, ethical living, and self-knowledge rather than advice-giving. Meditation, witness consciousness, sensory discipline, and lifestyle alignment are presented as essential tools for restoring clarity and reducing suffering.
Throughout the ten lessons, students gain both philosophical depth and practical insight, learning how to apply Ayurvedic psychology in counseling, clinical work, teaching, and personal development. This course offers a rare, integrative framework that bridges psychology, spirituality, and holistic health.
