Who I am
Just two decades ago this esoteric language might have turned many people off. Not now any more. So I don't have to explain or convince anyone that I have both feet on the ground well rooted in mother earth. At the same time, I am always connected to and interact with higher spiritual realms and the very source, which for me have always been and are very real. I am psychic and sense clairvoyant. This means that I see and sense more than the average person does. Nevertheless, like you and everyone else, I have all the needs of the material world and I share with you all the experiences of joy, frustrations and heartaches. I have been a conscious evolutionist ever since I can remember and I know that this is a never ending process contrary to some who believe that nirvana or enlightenment is the end goal.
I was at a didjeridoo workshop many years ago when the Canadian trainer greeted me with 'aah and you are a rainbow warrior,' to which I replied surprised 'What is a rainbow warrior?' He said. 'Rainbow warriors are a group of souls in reincarnation who are dedicated to spread light on earth.' That did not surprise me at all because that is exactly how I see myself - 'a light bearer' since my birth. Nobody told me that, I just knew it. It is my mission to guide people who are searching their way towards the light. As you well know, all it takes is one little matchstick to bring light into a pitch dark room. That is why I am convinced that the light will always win.
I continued with my studies and in depth research of both eastern and western religions, psychology and philosophy. I studied both Indian and Chinese arts of healing. I studied ancient wisdom scriptures, Vedic teachings, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, the Essenes, Sufism and Rumi, Yoga, Pantanjali, Agni Yoga, Jung, theosophy, Blavatsky, Gurdjeff, Ouspensky, Omraam Aivanhov, Bennett, Nicholas Roerich, Bahaism, Hunas, I AM Group, Rudolph Steiner, Meister Ekhart, Peter Mandel, color and crystal healing, Barbara Brennen energy healing, astrology and many others.Born and raised in Baghdad my young years were difficult for my rebellious spirit. I did not appreciate the gift of my rich heritage from my parents until much later. I survived the Middle East that was confining for me and moved to Europe, married, had three daughters, raised a family, discovered my strengths and launched my own business all the while keeping my spiritual life to myself, reading, researching, meditating at the same time enjoying disco dancing and hopping around the world. Now I began to appreciate my background and the solid roots I grew up with. I moved to New York, was active in the international business world, evolved and liberated myself from some of my limiting eastern conditioning, habits and beliefs. I went back to higher education in my forties, earned degrees in international business, management and leadership, economics and banking. I earned my doctorate in the Philosophy of Metaphysics, while all the time still exploring and experimenting with the world of spirituality and self development.
I was on a quest to completing a huge abstract jigsaw puzzle and bit by bit from each book and from each teaching I found a little piece to fit the puzzle, to answer some questions I had. Often I joined the groups to experience personally and to understand more than just to read books in theory and when I felt that I had learned enough I moved on to continue my research elsewhere. I studied human nature, the physical body, Mantak Chia energy and healing work, Qi Gong, Chinese acupressure, alternative health methods, nutrition and then because I was getting on in age myself I studied anti-aging techniques! I was always into Yoga which saved me many a time from serious illnesses.
I took the golden nuggets along with me from each teaching, for each and every teaching has some golden nuggets. The one teaching that I have diligently and faithfully followed through and still today, since about three decades, are the scriptures from the Vedas. I followed and still do the teachings of theosophy from the Arcane School, Pantajali, Djwal Kuhl and Blavatsky where anonymity and freedom of thought is encouraged. A student, an adept, has to be personally strong, fully committed and dedicated to continue with the work. No force and no limitaitions are imposed and free will is encouraged.
Although I was born and baptized a Christian, I do not feel that I belong solely to any particular religion. I agree with and support any and all who are open, free, accept and promote free will, goodwill, human rights for one and all and peace. I disagree with any teaching that is limiting, who claim to be the one and only true teaching, and who put themselves above and exclude everyone else. And this last statement would cover in my opinion almost all faiths except perhaps Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism, who accept the divinity in everything that lives and who never try to impose their faith on anyone else.
I have an advantage few people have, I'm blessed with a double dose of energy and I usually require very little sleep, four to five hours at the most. I have the feeling that during my sleep I acquire a lot of spiritual knowledge and gain inner strength. I am also in the habit generally of waking up before 5 am mornings, which makes my day very long and I have plenty of time to do all the things I want to do. I find the early morning hours are most energizing and healing. Where does this drive come from? It is certainly not money. After much reflection, I believe it is inborn, it is an unexplainable inner urge that keeps me going and prompts me to go, when I feel tired and want to stop, to rest, to be lazy. The inner urge is too strong and it prevails every time over any mood I have.
In 1990 I returned to Switzerland, turned my back finally on the business world and decided to commit myself to teaching the art of self development and self evolution. I wrote and published a book about Change, founded Practical Life Philosophy and gave workshops on positive thinking and mind power. In 1995 I published another book Visions Unusual, to introduce the metaphysical world to the layman. I had a practice in Zurich for some years for acupressure and counseling, energy healing, meditation, yoga and coaching. I spoke to groups, and on the radio, appeared on TV re women in management and gave workshops on spiritual growth. In 2000 I published another book listing Cosmic and Universal Laws. After that I took a sabbatical of over a year, spent a lot of time in Buddhist monasteries and traveling. In 2004 I moved to lake Geneva and decided to settle down in the French speaking part of Switzerland, very near one of my daughters and my two little grandsons. While I enjoy every moment I can spend with my grandsons, I continue with my spiritual and practical work from this lovely part of the world.
Reading, researching and studying ancient wisdom books of scriptures and knowledge is still a part of my daily routine and so is focused meditation. I have, therefore, not only the knowledge but also years of practice and experience. I have helped hundreds of people, on their path of self-development, of all backgrounds and ages, both women and men, younger and older, private and professionals each of whom is unique. All of my clients have gone on to new lives after minor or major calamities, to find new meaning, joy and happiness within themselves, theirs lives with their partners, families and their work. For me this is my passion, to guide people to the path of light and spiritual awareness, to discover new aspects of the self, to discover their own 'genie' within, to discover their own inner strength and to find inner peace and being in touch with their essence and the Life Force. Did I mention anywhere that my father was originally from Bombay, now Mumbai, India, was Hindu and my mother was from Damascus, Syria, a Greek Orthodox Christian and I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. I wrote a book recently about my two decades growing up in Baghdad with the title Once Upon a Time in Baghdad.
