There are people who want to repaint their cars, and there are those who want to rewire their engines. There are people who strive to stop the waves, and there are those who learn to surf. We have integrated Mindfulness and Ayurvedam at Poonthottam Ayurvedasram to help our guests ‘rewire their engines’ through internal realignment and to help them ‘learn to surf’ by calibrating their subconscious. All this, while rejuvenating your body by offering an experience of total holistic healing involving both: the Body & Mind.
Our treatment packages involve a three-tier program of Mindfulness:
A Self-Inquiry, leading to a renewed Self-Discovery.
Working with Energy Centres in the body and reactivating the Energy flow.

Vaidya Vikas Neelakandhan
Mindfulness Coach at Poonthottam Ayurvedasram
Every guest at Poonthottam will experience minimum 2 sessions of emotional health related programs as part of their treatment schedule. We believe in healing not just the physically manifested ailments but also in realigning emotionally misaligned thoughts, attitudes, lifestyles etc. that are blocking the potential for wholesome transformation within our guests’ lives.
The programs are based on the physical and emotional conditions of every guest and are customized according to their needs. However, the 1st session will be same for all – a one hour of self-inquiry facilitated by our Mindfulness Coach, calibrating your assumptions and reviewing potentially disempowering neuropathways etc., followed by a 2nd session on Balancing of Energy Meridians (Chakras) combined by empowering voice inductions.
Depending on the life-experiences, health conditions, emotional strength etc., additional programs are scheduled for the guests. This will include: Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Meditations, Experiential Outdoor Engagements, Hypnotic Voice Inductions using Neuro-Linguistic Programming & Hypnotherapy methods, Future-Reality Tune-In using Dr Joe Dispenza’s Tune-In Method, Sound Meditation using Tibetan Bowls, Enneagram Personality Profiling to help you understand the Personality Types and Integration Pathways, Action Metaphors to break Limiting Beliefs, etc.
We are the only Ayurvedam Wellness institution that has Mindfulness formally integrated into its treatment regimen. This will help our guests to not only experience the total healing of the physical ailments, but also feel emotionally renewed, rejuvenated, and empowered through our mindfulness engagement. The new self-awareness these programs will offer will be a refreshing and beautiful experience.
Of course. No two mindfulness sessions are the same. The sessions are all based on the individual case assessments. There are guests who require a guided self-inquiry, others who need us to help them address anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. There are also those who suffer from excess stress, and those who need life-style alignment and habits renewal, among other requirements. All these sessions are customized to meet individual requirements.
Our Mindfulness Coach will help you design a Personal Development Plan during the sessions and shall be available to hand-hold you during the next 21 days through email, WhatsApp, etc., to ensure that what is achieved as progress from Poonthottam is sustained even after the treatments are over.
“Dhi Dhairya Atmaadi Vijnanam Doshaushadam Param” is a shloka from Ashtangahrudayam (the original Ayurvedam literature dating back to 5000 years ago), evidently highlighting the importance of the mind in developing a healthy state of being. In the contemporary world, there is ample evidence cited within clinically proven research conducted by eminent scholars. Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn of Massachusetts Institute of Technology has conducted 40 years of medical research on mindfulness and related subjects. He has published his findings in his book, “Full Catastrophe Living”. It highlights the influence of Mindfulness in healing and in overall personal transformation. The scientific data presented in the book “Becoming Supernatural” by Dr. Joe Dispenza substantiates the power of the mind and how it works.
