This is my story.
As a teenager, I came across the book "The Power of the Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy and this was the very first time I came across the concept that our mind creates our realities. At that time my reality was very challenging so I welcomed the idea that I could change my life by changing my mind. But just positive thinking didn't seem to make a dent in my being, I needed to go deeper, so I did. My life turned out to be a journey of the Mind. My deepest desire to understand the Mind, the Universe, and the relationship between these two took me to a variety of places.
After my spiritual awakening in 2014, I went straight to Zen Monastery. Learning meditation from the Zen Masters and monks. I was highly influenced by Buddhist teaching, it laid the foundation for how I approach my journey. It was refreshing and inspiring to live in a place where no one asked me to believe in anything. All that was required was to meditate, to quiet my mind, and to have a direct experience of reality as it is.
At the time I was struggling with maladaptive daydreaming which is a form of dissociation as well as mental addiction. Asking someone with maladaptive daydreaming to quiet their mind is like closing an alcoholic in a room full of vodka and asking that person not to drink. Close to impossible. What needed to happen was healing. My journey towards Quiet Mind was emotionally painful. This journey took me to monasteries, a variety of psychedelic experiences, neurofeedback, meditations, dream work, shadow work, energy work, different forms of emotional release, and many more modalities.
All this mental chaos and mental stillness I was experiencing was also fascinating to me from the scientific side. My passion for science and a deep desire to understand the brain and mind culminated in a master's degree in neuroscience.
All of that to live my life from the Quiet Mind. To be present. To be in flow with life. To witness how it naturally unfolds. To hear my heart's true desire. To surrender. To enjoy.
Today I'm deeply passionate and dedicated to helping others on their journey toward a Quiet Mind and living their unique lives by using all the understanding, tools, and experiences I have gained along the way. A big part of my process is mental training, emotional release, and dream work.
