Episode 25 – Ayurveda: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing with Linda Bretherton

Exploring Brain and Mind

Episode Summary:

In this beautifully rich and grounded conversation, Elke is joined by Linda Bretherton (also known as Vani), an Ayurveda Master Trainer and holistic health practitioner with over four decades of experience. Together, they explore how the ancient system of Ayurveda offers more than just remedies – it’s a way of life rooted in energy, awareness and deep self-connection.

Linda shares her remarkable personal journey from early awakening to in-depth training in a Vedic monastery, how she was gifted the name "Vani" (Goddess of Communication) and how synchronicities led her to cross paths with luminaries such as Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. The conversation weaves together insights on the science of life, the role of energy centres (chakras) and the transformative power of interacting with our own healing potential.

This is an episode full of timeless wisdom, spiritual perspective and practical encouragement for anyone on a path of self-healing or deeper self-awareness.

Key Takeaways:

· Ayurveda is a comprehensive system, known as the "science of life," that promotes a holistic approach to living life that includes food, thought, movement and connection.

· The answers we seek are already within us

· Preventative health is daily practice, not a quick fix

· Individuals have the potential for self-healing. Healing is not passive – it requires interaction, awareness and presence.

· Deep healing requires belief, willingness and time
