Apply the principles and techniques of Jyotish, the original science of existence known as “the science of light,” for profound clarity around your health, career, relationships, and spiritual path.
Synergize this ancient Indian astrology with the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda, aligning your life with the cosmic rhythms of the lunar cycles as part of a holistic lifestyle plan –– complete with tools, recipes, and practices for lasting transformation.
Did you know that, no matter how much you long to restore yourself to spiritual wholeness and unity, it’s still quite common to feel lost and uncertain at times about your purpose or passion?
You’re not alone if you feel as though your inner light has dimmed — even when you’ve done your best to prioritize self-care and a healthy inner life.
Why do even the most dedicated spiritual seekers find themselves lacking joy, energy, and wellbeing at least some of the time?
It’s because most of us are separated from the beauty of nature, and the natural rhythms of the Moon and the light, says Laura Plumb, a globally recognized educator, author, and practitioner in the field of Vedic sciences.
The good news is, with years of experience, deep expertise, and a unique ability to blend ancient wisdom with modern practicalities, Laura has guided countless students to profound insights and life-changing shifts by helping them align with the cosmic forces that shape our existence — through the synergy of ancient Vedic wisdom, Ayurvedic practices, and Jyotish, an ancient Indian system of astrology and astronomy derived from the Sanskrit “Jyoti” (light) and “Isha” (lord).
When you combine Ayurveda and Jyotish, you’ll uncover insights about the subtle interplay between time and light — so you can sync your daily life and every decision you make with the natural cycles of nature and the cosmos for enhanced vitality and renewal.
This makes you less dependent on your own body for energy. It’s like plugging into the cosmic “light socket.”
These timeless teachings help you cultivate greater resilience, especially during challenging times.
