Topics Covered

Ultimately, this course will teach you how to determine an imbalance in your pulse, as well as how to identify the systems and tissues of the body that may be affected by the imbalance.

Along the way, you will learn how to feel for pulse changes based on the seasons, times of day, activities throughout the day, and what these changes are telling you about how your body responds to these changes.

You will learn how to diagnose imbalances and digestive issues, and design therapies based on these pulse readings.

You will also be immersed in the basic principles of Ayurveda, which are the building blocks of this powerful healing science that you will be able to build on with further studies through LifeSpa courses, and on your own.

Most importantly, the pulse becomes an invaluable skill for self-awareness and self-healing. Ayurveda is about removing the imbalance or density of the physical to enhance self-awareness and make deep mental and emotional changes. Pulse reading is one of the best self-awareness techniques for personal growth.

eCourse Details

Over the years, I’ve developed an approach to learning the pulse which covers an enormous amount of ground in a short period of time, relaying the larger portion of my pulse reading knowledge in a complete and holistic way in just ten weeks. Over the course of these ten weeks, you will receive a weekly mixed-media lesson, including:

• a written lesson
• video
• audio (streamable from your computer or downloadable to your mp3 player)
• PDF handouts to print out and keep

Note: Though this course does include within its scope Ayurvedic treatments for certain imbalances which you will learn to feel in the pulse, reliably using pulse reading as a principal diagnostic tool requires years of practice. This course does not administer certificates.

Time Requirements

One to two hours per week to study the week’s lesson, which includes an audio, video, written lesson, and PDF handouts.

In addition, you will be asked to read your own pulse 10-20 times per day, every day of the course.  Each reading should take about 1-2 minutes.

This course will give you an opportunity to pause, breathe and become aware of your pulse, which itself can become a vehicle for healing and stress relief.

Prerequisite

Although not required, it is highly recommended that you have an introductory knowledge of Ayurveda. This will make it faster and easier for you to dive into the course. The 28-Day Ayurveda Challenge is a wonderful way to not only get acquainted with the principles of Ayurveda, but to also incorporate them into your daily life.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PULSE COURSE STUDENTS

“I feel like this course hit all three ways that we learn: We listen, watch and do. By using video, audio and the written word, I feel that the information was presented in a really comprehensive way.”

“I love the audio, that is the most critical part. Not only did I learn a ton regarding the pulse, the bits of information threaded into the audio were invaluable. These lectures gave me a greater depth of understanding and integrating the material I was learning at Kripalu. John Douillard is so passionate about this material that it is inspiring. I also love how much research he conducts relating modern medicine to Ayurveda.”

“Best e-course I’ve taken so far. Thank you!”

“I was ABSOLUTELY blown away by the depth of knowledge learned in this course. I discovered deep and intimate knowledge about my body and the movement of disease through the human body. I am forever changed by the emotional aspect of disease and how it is revealed through the pulse.”

“I love the way Dr. John teaches. He talks about the ancient system of Ayurveda, then in the same sentence will bring it into the practical aspect of why the information is important and relevant to modern physiology, etc.”

“I think the beauty of this course is that one can do it over and over again. I like the slow pace and the pdfs are great to serve as a long for the pulse practice. I hear John’s voice every single time I reach to take my pulse.”

“So much valuable info…I will be returning to watch/listen/and reread again and again.”

“I am very happy to have taken this course. Dr. Douillard is absolutely amazing at delivering the wonderful knowledge of the Pulse in a clear, consistent and accessible way.”

“I will be reviewing this course many times, for my self-development as a Lifestyle Consultant. Very clear and helpful practice and learning…”

“I think this course was great. I especially loved lessons 9 and 10. I think I will listen to those at least 10 more times and come back to it many. The pulse work is hard, what has been harder for me is to physically track my results. I take my pulses daily but often at times when there was nothing to record with or more than that, it would take me out of being present into the experience. I understand the necessity for recording and need to get better at it.”

“I have tried many times to learn pulse reading and this course gives me the confidence to practice more and read my old books now.”

“Great course; beautiful knowledge; very accessible and powerfully delivered. I never imagined an online program in something so esoteric could be so effective or useful, but it was.”
