Meet Rakesh; A personal message from Rakesh Sethi
“What is true wellness? My path – and my life lessons – led me to understand how to achieve true wellness.”
In the 1980s, I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Science degree with courses in pre-med, engineering, and computer science. I landed a good job at Hewlett-Packard. I had worked hard to put myself through college, and suddenly I had money for the extras. I moved up the career ladder – and then got caught up in the rat race, in status, and in buying material things.
But I wasn’t happy. I started to question my life and my purpose. My spirit yearned for something more, something different. In 1987 I started reading the Vedic scientific philosophies and other scientific and philosophical books. In particular, the Tao of Physics resonated with me, because it presents a scientific way to understand our nature from both a philosophical and physics standpoint. This insight, combined from philosophy and science, connected the dots for me – it helped me understand my purpose and my responsibility as a human being.
And I learned that health and happiness lead to true wellness.
I’ve always been interested in both the life sciences and the material sciences. The Ayurvedic medical system, a branch of Vedic philosophy, brings these together in a way that makes a lot of sense. Ayurveda is a health-management approach that encourages mind-body wellness, rather than a disease-management approach that treats illness. (In Sanskrit, Ayur means life, and Veda means science.)
In order to be healthy and happy, you must be physically and mentally well, which is difficult given the stress and anxiety of modern life! That’s why it’s important to know your unique mind-body constitution and embrace the foods and activities that are right for you.
With this insight and knowledge, you can participate in your wellness every day. You can get rid of stress and anxiety, gain clarity and energy to achieve your professional and personal goals, and discover a sense of fulfillment and purpose. In other words, you achieve true wellness.
You are here to live well. I’m here to help you.
My goal is to help you discover your unique mind-body constitution – your natural being – and teach you how to participate in your wellness every day. I’ll introduce you to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, combined with a scientific, practical approach that makes sense for our modern society. My hope is to inspire you to make life-long changes, so you can live in health.
Be well,
