Nadi Vigyan is the ancient science of feeling the pulse to understand imbalances in the mind and body. It can also be used as a simple yet profound technique for self-healing — calming the emotions and balancing the mind and body at their very source. Through this simple technique, one can even touch one’s own soul. The nadis are the subtle threads in the subtle body that carry prana and intelligence to the entire physiology, mind, emotions, soul and even to other people and the deep interconnection to our planet and solar system. When you come in contact with your own connection on this nadi, it can create benefits for your health and well-being – it is effortless and natural.
I was first introduced to Nadi Vigyan — learning to take the pulse for self-healing — in 1991, in Holland, on a small Ayurveda course with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his panel of Vaidyas (Ayurvedic Physicians). You can read more about my experience with Maharishi on my blog here. I fell in love with the profound depth of information and the ability to heal through one’s own self-referral attention on the pulse — consciousness connected to the body and mind. Our clear and settled attention can shift our health in a truly effortless way through pulse taking or pulse meditation. As an experienced licensed trauma therapist, I found this to be immediately effective for clients stuck in rumination, dysregulation, panic attacks, and more.
Your own pulse guides you to what is helpful and unhelpful when it comes to food, behavior, people, and environments — truly a tool for knowing oneself. I found that even with just a few minutes, my clients could calm themselves when talk therapy couldn’t, because taking the pulse is grounding, physical, and connected to mental awareness. Many years later, I had the opportunity to continue studying pulse with other master Ayurveda teachers and healers Vaidya Ramakant Mishra and the Raju family, which deepened this profound experience even further. This experience course integrates all that I have learned through a feminine lens, this course is a fluid phenomenological experience that keeps unfolding in an uplifting and healing container open to all genders, cultures, ages and educational background. If you already know pulse, then it’s an opportunity to connect to yourself in a deeper way and create community. It’s also an opportunity to continue in an online or in person cohort which will continue to support your research and experience.
Studying pulse is a lifetime of self research into the many layers of one’s physiology and subtle body. It begins with basic instruction on the superficial layer, grounded in both knowledge and, mostly, direct experience on your own pulse. Classes follow your experience, but there is a natural sequence in which the knowledge unfolds — moving toward the deep and subdosha levels and beyond. The purpose of this instruction is self-healing and balance. The more you practice on your own pulse, the better you become at understanding what is happening with the elements and the changes in your physiology. For this reason, many parents enjoy learning this as a form of health prevention for the whole family. This is not a course to teach you how to read other people’s pulses; it is more an experience of the deepest layers of your own mind and body. Over time, and with practice, it may expand into practicing on the pulses of family members and friends. Each class is approximately 1 hour, and we meet once per week for 8 Saturdays beginning August 22nd at 9:00 am CST through October 10th 2026. The course fee is $349.
