A stay at The Raj begins with meeting your Ayurveda Health Consultant. The evaluation includes Maharishi Ayurveda Pulse Assessment, an ancient diagnostic technique acknowledged by the World Health Organization. By placing three fingers on the wrist, the Ayurveda Health Consultant can feel the level of imbalance in the body, even before specific symptoms of imbalance become manifest. A Maharishi RejuvenationSM Program is then designed for the particular needs of each guest.

Each day guests receive a series of prescribed treatments that last from two to three hours. These treatments, while luxurious in nature, have profound healing and purifying effects. Guests rave about both the experience of having the treatments and the results they feel afterwards.

At meals guests have the option of joining other guests or eating at a private table. This tradition of family-style meals makes The Raj enjoyable for those traveling alone-many guests remark on the friendships that are established during their stay. The vegetarian diet is organic, low fat and specifically designed to support the treatment program.

During non-treatment times guests can take a walk, weather permitting, on acres of trails threading through forests and meadows or enjoy classes and videotapes on Ayurveda principles. Yoga classes are offered twice a day. The Yoga classes at The Raj are not intensive, but teach a simple series of exercises that can be done at home.

Dinner is followed by a guest speaker - either an Ayurveda Health Consultant or a visiting expert on some aspect of Ayurveda knowledge. Lectures are given in a relaxed living room-style setting. Before retiring to bed for the evening, guests share hot, spiced milk and then are encouraged to listen to Vedic sounds, which are piped into all the rooms.
