Creating Health from Within

by Rolf Erickson

High in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the Heavenly Mountain Clinic offers the most advanced programs available today to restore health and support spiritual development.

With guidance from top experts in Maharishi Vedic Medicine from India, the Clinic’s programs approach health and enlightenment from all levels of intelligence: from the level of consciousness, to the Vedic sounds at the basis of the body, to the expressed level of the physiology. Treatment approaches enliven the body’s own inner intelligence, awakening the body’s internal self-repair, self-healing mechanisms to create health from within.

The Heavenly Mountain Clinic at the Spiritual Center of America opened on April 19th with the Spiritual Rasayana program for healthy individuals. On May 8th the first patients began treatment in the Program for Chronic Disorders, which is for individuals with chronic conditions that have not been adequately treated by conventional medicine. It addresses coronary heart disease, bronchial asthma, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and many other common disorders.

The goal of this program is to give quick relief to patients within the first few days. "The first treatment approach of this program inspires receptivity on the most fundamental level of the physiology, which is the field of consciousness," explains medical director Stuart Rothenberg, M.D. "Since consciousness is the most basic level of intelligence, it is the level from where the most refined value of Natural Law enlivens the body’s inner intelligence."

These quick results are then stabilized so the relief can be long lasting. "On the basis of this first approach," says Dr. Rothenberg, "the other approaches that are included in the program can be more effective in creating balanced functioning at every level of the physiology, from the grossest to the most subtle.

"One aspect of the program is designed to promote ideal functioning of the 14 types of Agni, or digestive fires, and their mechanics of transformation leading to the formation of Ojas," Dr. Rothenberg adds. "Ojas is pure intelligence, which when enlivened, leads to higher states of consciousness and the most efficient functioning of the physiology. This is the Vedic perception of sequentially enlivening the physiology."
