SPIRITUALITY
I was born and raised in the heart of india…in the way of life known as Hindu and speaking the language Hindi.
Spirituality is always present in its different forms in India. In the form of murtis, temples, mantras, yantras, mandalas, yoga, diksha, bhajans, festivals… and we have always been blessed by the presence of avatars, rishis, jyotishis, gurus,…Gods!
So for me, it is a part of life, something I live every day in the land.
Since birth, I have been listening to mantras, the bhajans, the ragas, the sounds from the traditional musical instruments…
I have been vegetarian since birth & now by choice due to my belief in non-violence towards animals.
Since at a young age I was doing certain spiritual things like going to temples, practising rituals, chanting spiritual sounds, celebrating the divinity…as many Indians do.
In adolescence, I started looking for answers to my existential questions & started studying physics on my own. But, I couldn’t clarify my doubts so I moved to the spiritual techniques.
I learned these spiritual techniques from different masters in different courses in different countries. After long periods of courses, self-education, & practice, I started to realize my answers.
The motivation to help others was there from the beginning, though now I was equipped with the proper tools to perform that.
I am a Reiki Master (Usui & Karuna techniques) & a Jyotish Counselor (Personality Chart Analysis). I have done more than 1500 sessions in them all around the world & in 4 languages.
I have given various classes in Yoga, mainly Karma & Hatha Yoga. I am a trained Diksha Giver (an ancient Hindu system of giving blessings of the masters).
I have also taught different techniques of meditation & mindfulness (Dhyan Yoga), & visualization.
Since mainly last 6 years, I have been giving courses & sessions in these different techniques, quite regularly.
You are invited to take part with me in this beautiful journey & I hope you will enjoy my sessions & the courses…like I do!
