The Role of Fear in Disease: How Prana, Pulse Diagnosis and Ayurveda Address the Root | Dr A.V. Raju

In this profound wisdom session, Dylan sits with Dr Krishna Raju to explore how fear consciousness disrupts health, and how prāṇa, pulse awareness, and subtle Ayurvedic sciences restore balance at the deepest level.Rather than approaching disease as something external to fight, this conversation returns to a core Ayurvedic truth: health and illness arise first in consciousness. Through stories, clinical insights, and lineage-based knowledge, Dr Raju explains how fear weakens prāṇa, how confidence and understanding support healing, and why Ayurveda prioritises early imbalance long before disease manifests.This episode weaves together classical Ayurvedic philosophy, pulse wisdom, marma science, and lived experience from generations of Vaidyas, offering a rare glimpse into healing that begins within.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:🌿 Fear as a Root Cause of Disease🌿 Doṣas, Consciousness & the Inner Churning🌿 Prāṇa as the Foundation of Healing🌿 Pulse Awareness as a Healing Practice🌿 Agni, Ama & the Six Stages of Disease🌿 Marma Therapy And The Power of Touch🌿 Sound, Mantra & Subtle Prāṇic Healing🌿 Seasonal Intelligence & Ritual ResetABOUT OUR GUEST: Vaidya A.V.
