My Panchakarma Experience

Now for a brief commentary on my experiences.


My residential experience in 2019 was an 11-day treatment plan and I travelled alone. I generally travel alone when going to India.
These eleven days were very intense. I suffered daily and wanted to leave. I stayed to the end, and I experienced a lot of pain throughout my body and lots and lots of tears.


My residential experience in 2020 was also an 11-day treatment plan. I was alone for these eleven days, and I was meeting up with a French friend after the Panchakarma so I had someone to look forward to spending time with after the treatment.
These eleven days were a little lighter, but still intense and I couldn’t wait for it to finish. I still experienced a lot of physical pain, but a little fewer tears. I loved being with my friend afterwards.


My non-residential in 2023 was completely different. This took place over 20 days, very different to the residential.
Firstly, I met up with an Australian friend in Delhi and we started our journey together to Tiruvannamalai.
This felt like a fun adventure, and it was.
My friend had leased a flat for one month that we stayed at for the month. After lots of cleaning, getting mattresses for our beds, and buying some furniture, we settled in quite well.


Our treatments were separate… we were able to have lunch together and we were able to talk about how we felt and what was coming up for us. Although we had our own unique experiences it was lovely to simply chat.
Most afternoons we had the freedom to do local shopping and visit Sri Ramanasramam Ashram.


We both loved the energy of the ashram.
