| | | Occupying
a beautiful seven acre beachfront compound approximately 5 km north of Pondicherry,
The Quiet Healing Center is Auroville's alternative health care facility. |
| | |
The
land was previously owned by a family with close ties to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram
and in years past The Mother occasionally visited the site. She is said to have
remarked that a powerful healing energy was concentrated there and to have given
general indications about the organization of a healing centre that could be developed.

| | Many
years later, in the mid 1980's, one of The Mother's former secretaries was inspired
to help realize this vision. Funds were raised, the land acquired for Auroville
and construction began. The Quiet Healing Center opened in February 1997. |

Quiet
team | | The
healing work at Quiet is based on the understanding that man is first and foremost
a spiritual being seeking to express its truth through the instrumentality of
the mental, vital and physical nature. Disharmonies occur as the more or less
ignorant instruments deform the energies trying to manifest through them and it
is these disharmonies which manifest as disease. The various (non-invasive)
therapies offered at Quiet all seek, in one way or another, to address
the patient on the energetic level. Each therapy (and therapist) honors and strives
to work in harmony with the body's own deep wisdom, each recognizes itself as
a humble tool of the inner spirit who is ultimately the only healer. |

Classes in hatha yoga (based on
the Iyengar system) are offered on an on-going basis at Quiet and
workshops, seminars and conferences
in areas relevant to healing or to the transition to the new evolutionary
cycle heralded by the work of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother are organized
as opportunities arise.
Guest houses
with aesthetically pleasing, comfortably appointed double rooms are available
for those wishing to stay at Quiet while taking therapy. |
