All
of the Chopra Center's soul -
nurturing massage treatments are based upon Ayurveda, a 5,000 - year - old healing
system of therapies designed to revitalize, balance, and restore you
at the deepest cellular
level.
The common themes include: a shared negative experience
of colonisation and cultural disruption, including in many cases catastrophic declines in physical, spiritual and cultural health and wellness over multiple generations; the consequent desire among First Nations to regain Indigenous self - determination and self - governance in order to
nurture healthy and happy future generations; the need to understand cultural differences in how the meanings
of health and wellness are understood and applied
at the community, family and individual
levels, and to therefore identify culturally appropriate responses, including traditional modalities and safe
systems of care; the significance
of cultural diversity between different Indigenous groups or communities within both countries; the differing needs and circumstances for Indigenous health and wellness in urban, regional and remote settings; and the challenges
of delivering health services to remote communities in often harsh environments.
