Oath of an Ayurvedic practitioner
I commit myself to something that is greater than I am, that I may be a bridge for healing.
I commit myself to the origin and roots of Ayurveda, and will practice with as much knowledge, continuity and respect for those origins as possible.
That I will continue to apply myself to my own work, to live in growing harmony with Nature so that a higher use can move through me without obstruction.
I commit myself to the people that I work with; that I may serve them in the highest integrity; that I may be for them a guide and a liaison on their path, while remembering that I am not the healer, but the helper.
I commit myself to my β Self; that I will promise to grow, learn, evolve and listen; that I may come closer and closer to living what I teach, while holding a space of compassion for my own humanity.
I commit myself to the knowledge of Ayurveda; that I may continue to learn through my teachers, in all of their varying and unexpected forms, through my texts, my experiences, and through my relationship to what I deem the most sacred.
