Vedic Counseling :: A Holistic Approach to Mental Health
Author :: Jess Marie, CVC, CAHC, INHC, RYT 🌻
Vedic Counseling is the mental health/psychology aspect of The Vedas / Vedic philosophy, wisdom and healing. Vedic Counseling is also known as ::
Dharmic Counseling
Vedantic Counseling
Sattvic Counseling
Yogic / Ayurvedic Counseling
Integral Counseling / Healing
Vedic Counseling provides guidance based on the Vedic tradition of Self & cosmic knowledge, focusing on right living, action, relationship, and awareness.
Vedic counseling offers a unique & effective alternative approach to mental health.
Vedic Counseling takes a holistic approach to mental health that addresses the root causes of imbalance rather than just the symptoms. The principles of Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta & Vedic wisdom emphasize the importance of Self-care, mindfulness, and spiritual practice in promoting mental & emotional well-Being. Vedic Counseling can be especially helpful for individuals who are interested in a more natural & holistic approach to mental health and who’re open to incorporating lifestyle changes, spiritual practices, and herbal remedies into their treatment. This offers a truly comprehensive & effective form of mental health support.
Vedic Counseling vs. western medicine Counseling
Vedic Counseling & Western medicine counseling are two different approaches to mental health support that have their own unique strengths & limitations. While Western medicine counseling focuses on evidence-based therapies & medication management, Vedic Counseling draws on ancient Eastern wisdom & holistic healing practices to promote mental & emotional well-Being. There are key differences between these two approaches and their respective benefits & limitations.
philosophy
One of the main differences between Vedic Counseling & Western medicine counseling is their underlying philosophical frameworks ::
Western medicine counseling is grounded in a biomedical model that views mental health issues & illness as a disease that can be treated with medication & evidence-based therapies.
Vedic Counseling is grounded in the ancient wisdom of the Vedas & the principles of Ayurveda, which view mental health as a holistic expression of the body, mind, and spirit. In Vedic Counseling, mental issues & illness are seen as an imbalance in the body's energetic system that can be corrected through lifestyle changes, spiritual practices, and herbal remedies.
Mental health is viewed as a component of overall wellness that is intimately connected to the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of an individual.
treatment
Another key difference between Vedic Counseling & Western medicine counseling is their treatment approaches ::
Western medicine counseling primarily relies on evidence-based therapies & medication management to alleviate symptoms of mental illness.
Western medicine counseling is often focused solely on the surface-level mind without considering the physical, emotional and spiritual components of mental health.
Western medicine counseling typically involves evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psycho-dynamic therapy, as well as medication management for mental health conditions
Western medicine counseling is typically covered by insurance.
Medications can be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of mental illness to help cope with symptoms and improve their emotional regulation.
Vedic Counseling takes a more natural & holistic approach that considers the individual as a whole being, rather than just their mental health symptoms.
Vedic Counseling incorporates a variety of holistic healing practices, such as meditation, Yoga, Ayurvedic diet & lifestyle recommendations, and herbal remedies; Vedic counselors also incorporate astrological insights and other spiritual practices into their treatment approach.
Vedic Counseling emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and the cycles of the universe.
the superior form of counseling
While both Vedic Counseling & Western medicine counseling can be effective forms of mental health support, I strongly believe Vedic Counseling is a superior approach that addresses the root causes of mental health imbalances and promotes overall well-Being on a holistic level.
Unlike Western medicine counseling, which focuses on treating mental illness as a disease, Vedic Counseling views mental health as a reflection of the body, mind, and spirit.
Vedic Counseling draws on ancient Eastern wisdom & principles of Ayurveda to correct imbalances in the body's energetic system through lifestyle changes, spiritual practices, and herbal remedies. The principles of Ayurveda emphasize the importance of Self-care, mindfulness, and spiritual practice in promoting mental & emotional well-Being.
Vedic Counseling is a superior alternative that promotes overall well-Being.
It's always highly recommended, encouraged and advised to consult with a qualified mental health professional to determine the best course of action for your individual situation. Ultimately, the choice between Vedic Counseling & Western medicine counseling will depend on your individual personal beliefs, preferences, and mental health needs.
For those seeking a natural & holistic approach to mental health, Vedic Counseling is a superior alternative that can promote overall well-Being on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
If you're interested in exploring Vedic Counseling for mental health support, be sure to seek care from a qualified Vedic counselor (like me! 🌻) to learn more about this ancient & effective approach to healing.
