My story beings with that for many years, I suffered from severe depression, body image issues, food addictions and had difficulty coping with different aspects of life. I struggled daily not knowing my purpose and not understanding the meaning of life, something was always blocking me from reaching the things I wanted.
I had spent many years searching for answers and until one day in 2012, after a life shaking event, I was done with allowing the circumstances of my life and outer experiences guide me, I took the decision to make changes, take action and embark on a journey of self- discovery, as a result the universe started giving me answers.
As I began breaking free from the victim syndrome and take full action of my life, I was sent many wise, sage masters on this journey in which I strove smoothly on a soul searching journey of discovering my inner truth and aligning with my higher self.
The journey of internal self-realization, self-discovery and finding myself started when I was ready to make changes to my daily life. In turn the steps that the universe kindly pulled me towards lead to the evolution of my higher consciousness and spiritual awakening.
I began to transform and the layers I had accumulated over the years began to shed. My behaviors began to change and the way I saw the world altered. I got rid of my limiting beliefs and began reacting differently to situations in my life.
The first changes in my life started with health and lifestyle in which I learnt about fitness and nutrition changes with experts of more than 17 years of experience in this field and incorporated the teaching into my life. I adopted weight training techniques, resistance training techniques and ventured on different physical activities. I learnt about nutrition, different food groups, which foods to eat to prolong aging, balance PH levels and how to calculate macros and food groups for different fitness/health goals. I learnt how to make healthy choices to remain healthy and strong in my body as well as about the effect of different foods on the mood and body.
The practice of the asanas of yoga healed my body and inner state of being. The daily practice of yoga taught me how to be mindful in the present moment, how to surrender, dedication and how to take the intentions off my matt and incorporate them to my daily life.
Through kundalini yoga I learnt how to expand my consciousness and connect with the source of all that is. I learnt to be aware of my breath and bring my attention back to my breath during the day. Taking a Hatha Yoga teacher training course in 2012 and then going on a yoga retreat to Thailand, were two a major life changing experiences which shifted me completely and got me closer to my inner truth and discovering myself underneath all the layers I had accumulated.
I learnt to respect and honor my body, I learn to listen my body, to cherish body and to fully embrace it. Respecting and honoring my body as my temple was the start of my spiritual awakening. Learning to wholly love myself healed my heart and body.
The new mindset I was in developed my understanding of my body image, my personal development of self-acceptance, self-worth and pushed me forward on my spiritual journey to finding out more of my inner truth and the union of my body, mind and spirit.
From the Chinese I studied about Taoism, tantric practices, sexuality and this powerful knowledge helped my body heal from long kept limiting beliefs, abuse and thoughts which were holding me back.
I studied Rumi poetry and about Sufism which opened my heart to love, what being love means and radiation love. I learnt about music from the Indians (sound healing), the heart frequency and chanting mantras healed my heart. I embarked on Meditation modalities and studied vedic knowledge which taught me to be centered and aware of my emotions without letting anything outside me affect me. Meditation gives me insight and ideas. I was infatuated by the power of the subconscious brain and by how tapping into it through the union of my body, mind and spirit, I could change my life. I realized that meditation is the tongue of my soul and the language of my spirit and adopting a daily meditation practice in which I listened for answers and monitored my thoughts. I was instantly guided when I learnt to trust my inner powers and intuition.
From the Russians many lessons and gained a lot of knowledge, the most vital being I learnt about Face osteopathy and face healing which healed me and made me aware of the different energy points in the face and the connection to our brain and emotions opened up deeper levels of emotions in me. I learnt about each individual’s beauty and being comfortable in my own skin while preserving and nourishing it.
Bodywork therapy, breath-work and rebirthing from the West were powerful therapy tools on my journey which helped me let go of stuck memories and blocked energy from the past and allowed me to experience new emotions of my inner truth. I got rid of my trauma and was able to fully express myself and felt free. I healed the inner child within me through this technique.
I was going through huge positive changes in my life but it was not until I was introduced to energy healing modalities by two of my masters that I started witnessing the hugest life-changing events.
I developed deep friendships with all my teachers and evolved as a person. I practiced with like-minded people, the universe sent me spiritual teachers, awakened souls, masters, gurus, NLP coaches and developed special friendships with them all.
