Atri is one of the seven immortal Rishis in Vedic literature. I currently can't drive much due degeneration of the spine, but I do still own a RT1200 BMW.

It was while living in an Ashram in India that I began to learn Prana healing as explained in my first book Prana. I left that group in 1990 and in the summer of 1991 - though extraordinary circumstances - I met my current teacher (see www.poonja.com).

The main subject that he revolutionized was the medical system of Ayurveda. He is not only an enlightened being but he is a social revolutionary as well. He lived with two people in one of his children's houses when I met him. Atreya also means 'transcending the three worlds'. http://www.atreya.com/

He began a new presentation of Ayurveda and held formal teachings with his students - many of whom where famous or powerful in their own right.

The name Atreya was given to me by my Guru and teacher HWL Poonjaji.

I live in Europe where I use primarily European plants and herbs in my practice. In the summer of 1992 he gave me the name Atreya and pushed me ever so gently to study Ayurveda deeper, the ancient healing science of Indian.

To have this name is responsibility. The primary lesson that I am learning from years of practicing Ayurveda is to use intelligence in understanding the reasons behind any therapy or treatment.

In this sense the name is not more baggage of identifying with mind and body, but rather an aid to break all identifications.

I was born near Los Angeles in Santa Monica, California on December 22, 1956. We must never assume that we are the name, but use it to guide and inspire us in our evolution of re-identification to the Divine.

Meditation is also a key factor in learning Ayurveda, especially diagnosis.

I have now been practicing natural medicine as a professional since 1987. I use only Western foods and terminology in my practice and most of all I never give more than what a client can absorb mentally and physically at any one time.

There is a great need to adapt Ayurveda to our individual environments and situations while remaining true to the system.

From my first encounter with him in August 1991 I began to speak to him of my work and interest in the science of Prana healing. The failure to adapt Ayurveda to your local culture will result in mediocre, mixed results, or even failure.

My name is Vaidya Atreya Smith. Learning Ayurveda is greatly accelerate by understanding the Indian culture and tradition.

I have seen thousands of clients over the years - mostly women (of course they are usually smarted and faster than men!) and have shared some of my clinical experience in writing.
