Frequently asked Questions
Q: What is nervous system regulation? A: Nervous system regulation refers to your body's ability to move between states of activation and rest — and return to calm after stress. Most people living high-pressure lives spend too long in an activated state, which affects sleep, mood, focus, and physical health. Regulation is a trainable skill, not a personality trait.
Q: What is EFT tapping and does it actually work? A: EFT — Emotional Freedom Technique — involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while holding a stressful thought or feeling in mind. It sends a calming signal to the amygdala, the brain's threat-detection centre, helping the nervous system learn that a feared situation is not actually dangerous. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have found measurable reductions in cortisol after EFT sessions.
Q: What is somatic therapy? A: Somatic therapy works with the body rather than just the mind. The premise is that stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions are held in the body — not just in thought. Somatic practices help you notice and release physical patterns of tension, shutdown, or reactivity. Sessions may involve movement, breathwork, or body awareness exercises.
Q: How is a Turiya workshop different from therapy? A: Turiya workshops are not therapy and are not a replacement for clinical mental health treatment. They are practical, body-aware skill-building sessions designed for working professionals. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to attend. You just need to want to feel better.
Q: Do I need any prior experience? A: No. Workshops are designed for complete beginners. You don't need to know anything about sound healing, EFT, or somatic practices to attend. The facilitators will guide you through everything.
Q: Are the workshops available online? A: Yes. Most Turiya workshops are available online so participants can join from anywhere in India or internationally — including the UAE, UK, Singapore, and Australia.
Q: How much do workshops cost? A: Introductory webinars start at ₹99–₹199. Longer programmes are priced separately. All pricing is listed on the workshop registration page.
Q: Who are the founders of Turiya? A: Turiya was co-founded by Dr. Raghavendra K. Sharaph, an orthopedic surgeon who pivoted to holistic wellness after experiencing burnout, and Chandini Atmakur, a former Flipkart executive who trained as a trauma therapist and EFT Master Practitioner. Both are based in Bengaluru, India.
