First and foremost, this is Ayurvedic meditation. And the foundation of Ayurvedic treatment is working with consciousness.
I have already told you that genuine Indian Ayurvedic doctors question a patient for about an hour, asking all kinds of questions. For example: how things are going in the family and at work, what your sleep is like, whether you have goals in life, what you eat in the morning and for dinner, how you spend your free time, whether you exercise, whether you have bad habits, phobias, and so on.
It might seem that a person has come in with a perfectly clear illness, and there is even a piece of paper saying what it is—an ulcer, bronchitis, or nearsightedness, and so on. Why ask all these “meaningless” questions?
But there is a meaning!
Because the Ayurvedic practitioner listens carefully to the answers and gives clear recommendations regarding all these areas of life. If the patient comes a second time and says, “I took all your medicines—nothing helped...” and, when asked, “Did you change your life and your way of thinking?” answers, “No, I somehow forgot about that...” then the Ayurvedic practitioner simply will not continue treating them. This is even written in Ayurvedic books—it is pointless.
A genuine Ayurvedic practitioner will stop working with this person at that point. Pills are pills, but if the patient does not want to change anything in their mind, they will not heal. Such is the Law of Ayurveda.
Smriti is a combination of Eastern and Western (advanced) psychology.
Western psychology simplified many things by naming one internal component of consciousness the subconscious. For many thousands of years, Eastern philosophy has worked with a much greater variety of aspects—or, more precisely, layers—of our consciousness.
I would put it this way: Eastern psychology is postgraduate study, while Western psychology is university-level education.
But the value of Western psychology lies in the fact that it is studied by far more people than Eastern psychology. It has also accumulated vast experience working with patients, combined with modern equipment and scientific discoveries. It is also more in tune with the spirit of the modern age.
It is only somewhat regrettable that the same did not happen with Eastern psychology; otherwise, we would literally have—I am not afraid to say it—a world without medicines, hospitals, or sick people. None of that would be necessary.
But we have what we have. Therefore, Smriti is a combination of the older and wiser “grandmother” and the young “granddaughter.”
I think you understand what I mean.
An experiment was conducted. A scientific experiment. The researchers wanted to find out why some people with cancer survive while others die. The same treatment, the same disease... Yet some survive while others die.
EVERYTHING was used in this experiment. For several years, the scientists beat their heads against a wall. They took various measurements and conducted analyses and tests... Yet nothing physical told them the REASON why some people died while others survived.
Fortunately for these scientists, there was a psychologist among them. He was also part of the research team studying this phenomenon.
And only he was able to identify the common reason shared by everyone who survived:
Do you think that sounds banal?
Not at all. It is the result of a scientific experiment.
Any healing is not merely some chemotherapy, pills, and so on. This power lies in our consciousness. And, as Western psychology says, in the subconscious. Eastern psychology works with the subconscious on a much deeper level. That is precisely why the rate of healing is much higher in Ayurveda.
