Philosophy
Doug
practices traditional Vedic astrology as given by the sage Parashara, the most
popular and generally considered most reliable of the many Astrology systems in
India.
Doug's Vedic Life Consultations include suggested remedial measures, which, by supporting weak or afflicted life areas, empower free will. That Vedic remedies target areas of deficiency is a powerful argument for free will, and against karma being unalterable. Vedic gemstones prescriptions, planetary mantras tapes and Ayurvedic curatives of colors, herbs and spiritual practices are specifically provided.
Most
valuably, Doug's practice of Vedic Astrology rests upon the fundamental
principle of hope, of finding in the chart a path for fulfillment,
which the Indians believe defines happiness. No matter how difficult the
overall chart is, no matter how challenging a current or upcoming cycle is
indicated to be, there is always a way to use the celestial energies in a
productive way.
With Vedic Astrology, there is no need to suffer unduly in this incarnation and have to repeat difficult lessons in the next incarnation. A famous quote applies here, Some pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. Doug Riemer makes his home in Sedona, Arizona, where he provides taped Vedic consultations in person for residents and visitors to Sedona's legendary red rocks. For out-of-town clients, consultations are by phone, and these are also taped for clients' later review. E-mail readings may be arranged for overseas clients at an additional fee. |
