A Day at Prakriti Shakti 

A typical day at CGH Earth's Prakriti Shakti begins with serving wake-up juice in our dining area in the morning. During this time, we encourage our patients to participate in Pancha Bhoota Upasana, where the body is awakened by the power of the five great doctors in nature - air, water, earth, fire, and space. Pancha Bhoota Upasana includes activities like barefoot walking, walking in water, feeling the freshness in the air, and sun gazing. This is followed by a therapeutic group yoga session for an hour. Yoga is an integral part of the therapy and is included in the daily schedule for relaxation of body 
and mind, and to initiate metabolic, circulatory, nervous, and endocrine system changes in the body. After yoga, patients are served juices or smoothies as per their treatment course. Mud pack and sun bathing are also key morning rituals at Prakriti 
Shakti. A mud pack is placed on the patient's body for 30 mins while he or she is sun bathing. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system and the thermoregulatory system in the body. The consultations with the doctor begin at 9 am and each patient will be assigned a slot based on the time mentioned in their daily schedule. The doctor will check on the progress of each patient and also determine the next course of treatment. Brunch is served at 10 am. As per the diet therapy prescribed by the doctor, each patient's meal will differ from the other. (Please note that meals will be served in the dining hall and everyone is expected to follow the specifed meal timings). During the course of the day, there are two therapy sessions prescribed - one primary and one secondary. A Reflexology walk for 15 minutes is also prescribed regularly. A therapeutic yoga session, which is personalised for each patient, is prescribed by the 
doctor for those who have specific conditions to be addressed. The doctors take turns in conducting talks to explain and elaborate on various aspects of the medical sciences of Naturopathy. These talks are simplified for everyone’s 
understanding, as it is very important that each patient understands the ‘why’ of what we do at Prakriti Shakti. Lifestyle coaching for healthy living is also conducted as group sessions daily. 

The concept of lunch is redefined by naturopathy. Here it is kept simple with a juice. Often, tender coconut water is served. Naturopathy advocates that anyone who eats more than twice a day is bound to be diseased. When one eats a fresh and wholesome plant based diet, they will remain satisfed throughout the day. And in this case the vitality in the body will be free to carry on the healing process in the body. Juices and herbal drinks are served at regular intervals and you are never going hungry at any point. All the meals served and diets planned are carefully managed and tapered to each individual's comfort. 

In the evening, guided meditation is conducted by the doctors. Patients are taught different techniques each day to combat the stress in their body and mind. This session is followed by the most awaited session – the interactive kitchen. As connoisseurs of raw food, we see value in helping people recreate these wholesome preparations in their day-to-day lives. For this reason, we have developed an interactive kitchen where you can learn in detail the recipe and the preparation methods for every dish you loved having at Prakriti Shakti. Though it appears as a fun activity, it is an integral part of the 
sustainable healing practices which you can carry forward to your daily routine. The second big meal of the day is served as dinner at 6 pm. After dinner, the Prakriti Shakti team conducts different activities like informative talks on health and wellbeing, constructive games that have healing abilities and musical performances. Your day ends with juice at 8 pm and we recommend that patients sleep soon after, to get the required rest for the body.
