Kathryn Templeton combines her 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist with the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda. She explains Ayurvedic Psychology and how we are not our dosha tendencies i.e. we are not our stress or our trauma. We discuss the following:

• Kathryn's introduction to Ayurveda was a byproduct of her own bereavement issues.
• The importance of the simple but effective practice of pranayama or breath work.
• How Ayurveda impacts Kathryn's life personally and professionally and how she uses her direct personal experience in her professional practice.
• Combining the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda with western psychology.
• An explanation of manas prakriti or mental constitution and an insight into the mental qualities of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
• How each dosha reacts differently to a stress response.
• Self-care practices to manage stress.
• Kathryn's new Yoga International 3WT Core Concepts program which includes the 3 Wisdom Traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda and Psychology.

Lecture by Pravrajika Shuddhatmaprana given on October 26, 2014, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA

Explains how the Divine Mother Kundalini is related to the awakening of consciousness, the three gunas, the Kabbalah, and much more.

"The Great Prakriti is my womb; in that I place the seed; thence, oh Bharata, is the birth of all beings! Whatever forms are produced, oh Kountreya, in any womb whatsoever, the Prakriti is their womb and I am the seed-giving father. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas these three Gunas (aspects or qualities) born of the Prakriti, oh mighty-armed one, bind fast the embodied to the body. Of these Gunas, Sattva which from its stainlessness is luminous and good, binds by attachment to happiness and by attachment to knowledge, oh, impeccable one. Know thou, oh, Kountreya, that Rajas is of the nature of passion, the source of desire and attachment; this Guna binds fast the embodied being to action. But know thou, oh, Bharata, that Guna Tamas is born of ignorance, deluding all embodied beings; it binds fast the embodied being, by heedlessness, laziness, and sleep [asleep consciousness, the sleep of consciousness]." - The Bhagavad-Gita
