“We are wellness. We are consciousness. That is our natural state. Disease is an imposter.”
As one of the world’s only female experts on the ancient Indian tradition of Ayurvedic medicine, renowned teacher Bri. Maya Tiwari has devoted her heart and soul to sharing the philosophy and methods that saved her from terminal cancer and redirected her life. Now, in The Path of Practice, she offers a short course in healing and living and reveals how she has gone back to the sources of Ayurvedic wisdom to reclaim time-honored, natural, and spiritual techniques for contemporary life.
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer at twenty-three, Bri. Maya was given two months to live. Her doctors’ advice: die painlessly with heavy dosages of morphine. Instead, in the middle of winter, she left her career as a popular fashion designer in New York City and began several months of intensive meditation and holistic nutrition alone in a remote Vermont cabin. By Spring, her health and vitality had been restored. Inspired by dramatic visions and dreams of her family and ancestors, Bri. Maya became a student of one of India’s few living masters of the traditional Vedas. Today, healthy in body and spirit, she devotes herself to teaching the wisdom practices of the Vedas to help others heal emotional and spiritual discomfort, dis-ease, and physical illness.
In The Path of Practice, Bri. Maya’s gentle, compassionate voice instructs you in living life consciously in the present moment, so that you can recover your natural rhythms and align yourself and your inner cycles with the universe. With particular emphasis on using the primordial feminine healing power of shakti–which everyone possesses–Bri. Maya leads you through the daily practice, or sadhana, of a three-part wellness program that includes nutrition and cooking with whole foods, breath work and meditation, and chanting with healing sounds. Encouraged by the inspirational stories of Bri. Maya’s life and those of others who have made these simple but powerful practices an integral part of their lives, you will learn how to take charge of your own health. Through Bri. Maya’s unique philosophy and practice of “cosmic memory,” you will discover your personal, body wisdom and intuition, your singular mission in the world, and your connection to the divine within you and around you.
Filled with illuminating insights, easy-to-follow recipes, and meditations and exercises that can be adapted to different lifestyles and traditions, The Path of Practice is one of the only holistic programs designed for women by a woman. Imbued with the spiritual strength and centeredness of its remarkable author, here is a practical and profound book you will turn to time and time again for instruction, wisdom, and peace of mind.

I love this book
I love this book.It is very informative and I loved reading it. The book is very practical and it takes us back to the various rituals and lifestyle habits that can be incorporated to our daily life in order to live a more harmonious, healthy and happy life.Coming from the same culture as Maya Thiwari, the author shows a clear understanding about the various Ayurveda practices, ancient healing methods for mind, body and soul.This is an amazing book that I would recommend to all mothers and daughters out there to read and reread.Currently I am reading Women’s Power to Heal: Through Inner Medicine by the same author.

Ancient wisdom
It is not a book for the faint of heart, neither is it right for those who desire definite and concrete answers to their lives problems. While Bri Maya Tiwari offers a full richness of ancient Ayurvedic practices which may lead to deep insights they are far from what our Western culture would define as definite. Nothing is definite or concrete when you open your heart and mind to the wisdom of your own inner self. It is a very feminine quality which leads one to intuitive learning from our very own heart. If you are looking for ways to connect with the wisdom of your deeper self through finding your ancestral roots and your connection to the Divine Mother you may find the book helpfull. Bri Maya’s journey opened the doors which my culture kept shut for over one thousand years, the doors to the the vast ocean of universal knowledge (knowledge that does not rely purely on reason) that dwells within us and is available to an ardent seeker.

This is an excellent book.
I have not finished reading the book, but so far it is excellent. I am very impressed with the scope of it and intrigued with the way they go about doing things. I read it in small increments because there is so much to take in. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to self-heal without drugs.

Wonderful book about personal healing
I really enjoyed readingi Ms. Tawary’s account of personal healing. She seems so sincere regarding her quest and her writing style seems so soothing. Some of her recipes and religious rituals may seem off putting to some (making an alter and praying to deceased family members), bit as a whole, her story is comforting and uplifting. Hard to put this book down once you start reading it.

Powerful transformative book
Powerful transformative book. Most of the ayurvedic books published in the US are written by men, as awesome as those authors are, this book is definitely got the deep heart, spirit and power of a woman’s story. Her teachings and techniques are simple, traditional and full of soul. I love this book.

For me the best part of the book was the author’s personal story
For me the best part of the book was the author’s personal story, which I find very inspiring. Bri Maya Tiwari was a high-power figure in the fashion industry, a mere 23-year-old, when she was diagnosed as having cancer of the uterus. She underwent a hysterectomy, but as a result of an unfortunate ‘slip of the surgeon’s knife’ during surgery the cancer unexpectedly and rapidly spread to surrounding tissue. This led to 2 1/2 horrible years of enduring 12 major surgeries and many devastating rounds of radiation therapy until 1977 when she was told that her cancer was indeed fatal and that she at most two months left to live. The doctors’ recommendation was that she remain in their care under heavy doses of morphine to kill the pain until the day ‘she drew her last breath.’ One hour after she received this death sentence she left the hospital without telling anyone. Overwhelmed with sadness, she sought refuge in a friend’s ski cabin in Sugarbush, VT where she fasted and wept and poured out her sorrows in a journal. However,, ‘In waiting for death to come, [she] found new life.’ She experienced spiritual interventions including a visitation from her father. Two months later when she returned to Manhattan she had no doubt that her cancer was retreating. She ultimately became cancer-free. She now believes that people have the ability to heal themselves from illnesses like cancer.I value this book for the author’s personal story because I believe it, and it’s a dramatic example of how we each are capable of healing ourselves. However, I personally could not relate to the author’s belief in ‘recovering one’s ancestral memories’ (that simply doesn’t make sense to me and I wouldn’t know how to go about recovering them anyway) or to her other Indian culture-related beliefs. I’m not interested in the various Indian gods or in chanting prayers in Hindi. The author’s beliefs are simply too foreign to my upbringing. I do, however, believe in the power of meditation and in ‘living in the moment.’ I value the author’s personal story about overcoming cancer but I got more healing value out of Eckhart Tolle’s book “The Power of Now.”For anyone who might be dealing with cancer, or who knows someone who is, go online and look up ‘Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).’ I wish I’d known LDN before my niece died of cancer–I believe her life could have been saved by LDN.

Powerful self story and important information
This book gives so much help in so many ways. Even if you just read it for the food guidance you will not be disappointed but contains so very much more. It is worthwhile to take the time to do the practices she suggests.
