Laura will guide you to embark on a journey to understand the profound relationship between the Sun, the spectrum of light, your inner vitality, and the Sun as the inner light of consciousness.

Drawing from ancient Vedic wisdom, Laura will guide you to explore the role of the Sun as a solar deity, the light of this world, and the light of consciousness. You’ll look practically at how the Sun, as the source of all energy and life, influences your wellbeing — and how to cultivate it for more vibrancy and vitality.

Through the lens of Ayurveda, you’ll uncover how the different wavelengths of light correspond to the doshas and the dhatus , the bio-energies and tissues within — and how harmonizing these energies can bring balance and renewal.

You’ll develop a deeper understanding of the solar energies at work within and around you. You’ll also receive practical tools to align yourself with the cosmic rhythms — igniting your inner light and setting the foundation for healing and renewal of your mind, body, and spirit.

In this opening module, you’ll:

• Explore an introduction to Vedic philosophy and its holistic approach
• Understand the spectrum of light in nature, and within
• Learn of the sun as solar deity — the light of this world and the light of consciousness

Laura will guide you to meander into the mysteries of the Moon and its profound connection to your inner light.

According to Vedic wisdom, the Moon governs your mind, daily thoughts, emotions, imagination, and intuition. Just as the Moon in the sky reflects the light of the Sun, in Jyotish, the Moon is like a mirror that reflects your innermost self.

In this revelatory module, you’ll explore the 27 lunar mansions (also known as the nakshatras) that the Moon travels through during its monthly orbit.

As Laura will explain, nakshatras also play a crucial role in determining auspicious times for various activities, as well as in understanding compatibility in relationships, timing of events, and other astrological predictions. They offer a more nuanced view of your astrological profile, beyond the basic zodiac signs.

You’ll learn how to identify your own nakshatra (birthstar) and explore how the energy of your nakshatra can be harnessed to align with the natural rhythms of the Moon, enhancing your emotional wellbeing, intuition, and spiritual growth.

You’ll gain a deeper connection to your true self, empowered by the lunar wisdom of your birthstar. This knowledge can help navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and grace, aligning your inner light with the cosmic forces for healing and renewal in mind, body, and spirit.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How the Moon affects your health, wellbeing, social connections, and sense of abundance
• The Moon’s journey through the “lunar mansions” of the sky
• The influence of these lunar mansions on us and the world
• Your unique lunar mansion, referred to as your birthstar, and how that describes the unique light of you
• The interconnection between mind, body, and spirit in Vedic traditions

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and Vedic teachings, you’ll learn how nature’s elements shape your physical, emotional, and spiritual health through the doshas — the bio-energies inherent in all of nature, and in you.

You’ll explore the relationship between the Sun’s radiant light and the Moon’s reflective glow, and how these celestial bodies influence your inner and outer landscapes.

Through guided Ayurvedic practices, you’ll discover how to balance the fiery power of the Sun with the cooling energy of the Moon, aligning your life with the rhythms of nature.

By attuning to the cycles of light and water, Sun and Moon, you’ll deepen your connection to the natural world and to your own inner landscape — for greater appreciation of the power of nature all around, and within.

By the end of this module, you’ll have practical tools to harmonize the energies within you, empowering you to live in sync with the natural world to experience profound wellbeing and spiritual growth.

Going deeper into the moonlit path, Laura will guide you to explore the almost mystical connection between the Moon and your hormones, your circulatory system, your mind — and your inner rasa, the essence of life circulating within all the watery secretions and pathways of the body.

Guided by the wisdom of Ayurveda and the cycles of the Moon, you’ll discover how the Moon’s transit influences these rhythms to nourish, purify, balance, and pacify.

Drawing from the ancient teachings of Ayurveda, you’ll learn how the colors, tastes, and energies of different foods correspond to the spectrum of light — bringing harmony and healing to your body, mind, and spirit.

You’ll explore how each of the six tastes resonates with light, showing you how to choose foods that align with your unique constitution and the cycles of nature.

By understanding the light encoded within your food, you’ll learn to cultivate a diet that supports your digestive fire, enhances your prana, and nurtures your inner light.

Laura will explain how each of the tithis (the 14 days of the moon’s wax and wane) carries a unique vibrational energy influenced by the spectrum of light — and how this understanding offers a powerful tool for aligning your life with cosmic rhythms.

These lunar phases influence your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual states. By understanding the angle and quality of light each tithi brings, you’ll learn to tap into the energies of specific days for radiant good health and spiritual breakthroughs.

Through the teachings of Ayurveda and Jyotish, you’ll gain insights into the subtle interplay between time and light, discovering how to plan your activities in sync with the natural cycles for enhanced vitality and balance.

As this journey comes to a close, Laura will guide you to bring together your profound exploration of the physical body, the subtle body, spirit, nature, and the cosmos.
