The Healing Touch – Book Coverage In The Tribune

 

 

 

 

Sonica Krishan’s book lays out the basic principles of Ayurveda through the medium of fiction…

 

‘I recommend this amazing story to anyone who wants to live happily ever after.…’ is what best-selling author and energy-healer Roxana Jones says about Healthy Living through Dosha Healing (Ayurveda), the recent book by Dr Sonica Krishan launched in Chandigarh on Friday.

Holistic Living

A story that addresses basic Ayurveda principles that come handy in day-to-day living is sure an amazing idea for a book when holistic living is the latest fad. The idea came to Sonica through a young NRI who was keen on knowing it all about Ayurveda.

The Experience

“I met this girl working in America and she shared how youngsters are too eager to embrace natural eating as well as living style. We exchanged numbers and kept in touch; she was keen to learn more and more about our traditional system…and so came the book,” says Sonica.

 Story Telling

Telling it in a story has sure made her job interesting. As for the plot, three friends get together after nine years to go on a holiday. With their lives not really going smooth with various maladies — physical, emotional and professional — they seek help of Dr Ayur Wizard.

 The Sequel

The book elaborates within the story the three basic prakritid (constitutions) —vata or air, pita or fire or kapha or phlegm — and how to self-heal. With four books to her credit already, Herbal Healers, Home Remedies, Healing through ayurveda herbs in your Kitchen Garden, Healing through Ayurveda – Tips on Dosha Understanding and Self-care; the latest one is kind of a sequel to the fourth one.

Need For The Book

“For healing we have to take care of our body, mind and spirit all together, and the book is a step in that direction,” says Sonica, who has written extensively for various publications. Apart from Ayurveda, she has done advanced studies in yoga and naturopathy from Punjab University.

 The Next Book?

Expect her next book to be either poetry or on spirituality! Healthy Living through Dosha Healing (Ayurveda) has been published by Partridge India.
