India is the perfect place to relish the profound and unique spiritual experience with its old, long religious practice and traditions. Do you even need to wonder why? India is home to Buddhist meditation, Ayurveda (traditional Hindu medicine), Yoga, herbs, herbal tonics, and one of the most breathtaking religious ceremonies: Ganga Aarti, a ritual performed every evening to honour the Goddess Ganga or the Ganges river.

From choosing to spend a relaxing time in a monastery in Spiti Valley or Leh, Ayurveda retreat centres in Kerala, or head to one of the very famous Yoga centres in Rishikesh. You can even cherish and benefit from an Ayurvedic treatment and learn the art of yoga amidst nature. What makes India so distinct? The fact that this country offers you so many options to choose from to unwind truly, pause, rejuvenate, relax, meditate, and breathe.

The word “Yoga” means “to connect” in Sanskrit, and the purpose is to help you connect your body, mind, and soul to still the mind, soften the heart, and strengthen the body. This process helps people experience a close relationship with their body and consciousness, making you fall in love with yourself or heal your broken heart.

Yoga started in India several thousands of years ago. You can head to one of the famous Ashrams to practice Yoga and connect with your body and mind at Chinmaya Mission in Mumbai, Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, and Ramakrishna Mission in Belur Math.

If you want to eliminate toxic materials from your body, Ayurveda could be a straightforward answer as it relies on Panchakarma, “the Five Treatments.” It is a soothing experience where the body is massaged with oils, and the aroma relaxes the mind and herbal steam therapy. Every panchakarma treatment is not the same, and each individual is given a unique experience as everybody, and their reason is different.

It is incredible to live the common practice where the masseur uses tuning forks and other metal tools to relieve the body’s several tensions. Sounds good? Head to one of the famous Ayurvedic centers in Kerala or Khajuraho, or New Delhi.
