This way bridges Eastern and Western perspectives on self. It is based off of intuitive understanding, steeped in learnt psychological theory, drawing from both modern therapeutic and older contemplative traditions. I work with individuals to explore the inner world through a lens that includes body, mind, personal history and a sense of self identity. In the western tradition it parallels a school of manifested thought named ‘Psychosynthesis’ started by Roberto Assagioli, who emphasised the importance of ‘self’, and suggests that in the majority we are only using a fraction of our potential. Hence the importance of getting to the essence and enlivening what often lays dormant. It is not interested in perfection, or the rigidity of learning or outcome, but thrives within the amalgamation of emergence; the process of unravelling layers of the self via means of discoverable beauty. 

This integrative approach respects the depth of Western psychological frameworks—such as inner child work, trauma-informed care, and developmental theory—while also drawing from Eastern practices that focus on presence, regulation of life force (Qi), mindfulness, and self-inquiry, found outside the outskirts of provable scientific data. We arrive at the light of awareness, not by removing the dark, but by integrating all that is there. Fear only exists because we cannot see, seeing clearly eliminates the need for fear.

Unravelling the self, is easier than we might think, though it takes a willingness and a bravery too look further than the surface. In the practices of yoga, for instance, in order to go beyond the mind, one must first go through the body, for it is the vase that encases the flowers. The self, is not a static point, it is equivalent to what they call in Buddhism the “no-self”, there is no fixed state rather a continuous unfolding, a continuous flowering, an opening to the process of learning and becoming child-like again. To enter oneself with awareness is to enter with curiosity; leave aside judgement, and see this world as a game to be played.

De-conditioning the mind-body, becoming an instrument of Soul

‘Self realisation,

is our greatest capacity for imagination’

It is to go to the source of thought, the source of creation, and to realise you are already

everything.

De-conditioning sequence

Phase I - The body-mind, vessel of QI, easing density, increasing flow

Phase II - Subtle mind: layers of perception and imagination

Phase III - Self, the breath, becoming nothing
