This life guidance draws from the Vedas, the ancient sacred texts of India and foundational scriptures in Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism; it is a darshana, a “view” — a lens through which we can understand the world, and a “vision” — a perspective that shapes how we engage with ourselves, others, and the Universe.

 

Integral Vedic Counseling includes the following: 

​

• Yoga & Meditation : Physical postures and breathing techniques for meditative self-awareness.

​​

• Advaita Vedanta (non-dual philosophy and metaphysics) : Nature of reality and self-inquiry as a path to existential meaning and freedom.    

​​

• Ayurveda : Holistic health, including diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies, to balance the mind-body.

​​

• Vastu : Harmonize living environments with aesthetics and ritual spaces to support energetic flow and creativity. 

​​

• Tantra : Understand and work with consciousness and energy to transform.

​

• Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) : Insights into your karmic blueprint and potential through understanding celestial influences.

 

Integral Vedic Counseling distinguishes itself from Western frameworks of life coaching and licensed therapy in several fundamental ways: 

​​

• Spiritual realization is outside the explicit scope of Western approaches and are often focused on goal achievement (life coaching) or addressing mental health (therapy). Here, we guide individuals to access their own inner wisdom and understand their true nature (Svadharma) through self-inquiry (Atma-vichara). The ultimate source of guidance is seen as residing within.

​​​

• Western approaches focus on external strategies, behavioral changes, and cognitive restructuring. Therapy delves into past experiences to understand present issues. 

​​

• The aim is to transcend limited ego-identity and connect with a higher, more expansive state of awareness. This is a key differentiator beyond the West's psychological or neurological understanding that focuses on the brain, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors alone. 

​​​

• ​Vedic typologies such as the three Gunas (energetics) and Doshas (elements) provide a map of an individual's unique constitution (Prakriti) and guidance is tailored accordingly. This goes beyond typical personality assessments used in the West.

​​​

• While ethical considerations exist, they do not include an understanding of Dharma, Karma, Samsara, Yagna, and other principles. This adds a deeper layer of meaning and responsibility that is distinct from Western approaches.

​

While Western life coaching and licensed therapy focus on change within a secular framework, Integral Vedic Counseling offers a spiritually grounded approach that integrates ancient wisdom towards holistic well-being, self-realization; a life aligned with sacredness and the natural order.
