The true initiation did not happen in a classroom or a clinic. It happened in silence, when I began to see that the same intelligence that moves the cosmos also moves through my breath.

To become an Ayurvedic Doctor is not merely to know about herbs and doshas. It is to see that you are a living laboratory of existence; the rivers of prana, the fire of digestion, the air that sustains life; all of this is you.

A sacred initiation is not a ceremony someone else gives you. It is the moment when you dissolve as a seeker, and life itself becomes your teacher.

This journey, from seeker to Ayurvedic Doctor, is not about what I have achieved. It is about who I have become.

When the medicine is no longer something you practice, but something you are, that is the true initiation. This isn’t just about a degree; it’s about transformation. It’s about what happens when you say yes to the pull of your purpose, again and again, even when the path is long and uncertain.

And as I arrive at this threshold, the completion of eight years of study and surrender, I bow in gratitude:

To the Divine, the silent presence guiding each step, even when I could not see the path.

To my teachers: including the ancient rishis and unseen gurus, who carried this light across time so it could reach me.

To my friends and fellow travelers, whose laughter and courage made the long journey lighter.

To my family, whose love and patience became the soil in which this journey could take root.

May the merit of this work ripple outward;

to all who are still seeking,

to all who are still healing,

and to all who are remembering that the medicine has always lived within them.

Because every great becoming; every healing, every awakening, begins the same way: with one brave decision to listen to the truth inside you… and to follow it home.

From Love,

Sasha
