Jenett Mireau

I met Jenett in 2005 in Vancouver. She facilitated a profound opening to a deeper nature that awakened the spiritual researcher within. She was the head of Pranic Healing Vancouver at that time. I was blessed to spend the next seven years learning from her directly one-on-one. Jenett since retired to focus completely on sadhana.

Master Nona Cristina Castro

A former nun from the Philippines, Master Nona was one of Grand Master Choa’s first authorized instructors. Master Nona was full of higher spiritual teachings, and I was blessed to spend lots of one-on-one time outside of class with her. I appreciate her for being able to cut through the dross of the mind and not sugar coat what needed to change!

Grand Master Choa Kok Sui

Grand Master Choa is the modern founder of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. Born in the Philippines. Through his spiritual mentors at a young age he was able to contact his Sat Guru or Primary Permanent Spiritual Teacher, Mahaguruji Mei Ling. Maha means Great, Guru means Teacher and Ji means Respected – Mahaguruji means “Respected Great Spiritual Teacher." One of his spiritual mentors prophesied that he would be spiritual teachings.

Before Master Choa passed away in 2007, I received a spiritual blessing after three days of purification. Like my initial opening with Jenett, I was astounded how spiritual light could completely change my reality. Before Master passed he created an anointing oil to bless teachers in this lineage which I later received.

Rajarshi Muni and disciples, wearing traditional Indian attire, gathered indoors with stacked chairs in the background, engaged in a ritual or prayer activity. This is post shaktipat initiation.

Swami Rajarshi Muni

Rajarshi Muni was one of the two main disciples of Swami Kripalvanand who gave him yoga diksha in 1971. This was an initiation into the path of Divine Yoga. His other disciple left India to eventually found Kripalu in the United States. Rajarshi Muni stayed in private sadhana from 1971 until 1993 when we received a message from his inner teacher Lord Lakulish that he needed to go into the world and continue the work of his root guru. He then founded the Lakulish Yoga and Lakilish Yoga University.

I was blessed to receive the shaktipat initiation from Rajarshi Muni. It was from this lineage that I truly experienced first hand the wisdom of prana and the power of the guru to have compassion for his students on the path of liberation. Rajarshi Muni passed away in 2022.

Maestro Soi

Soi (Jorge Ochovano) is from a village in Betania along the Ucayali river in Peru. A member of the Shipibo-Konibo tribe, Soi generously took my partner Felix and I into his community and brought us deep into the Amazon so we could learn in silence with the plants. In those years that we spent dieting with Oni, cleaning and learning, Soi shared much of his wisdom passed down through the Onanya of his ancestors. It was because of his patience and willingness to teach that we were able to grow with slow humility on this challenging path of curandurismo. Soi also was instrumental in opening me to plants that specifically awakened the pranic sensitivity in my hands to deepen the energetic work.

Ron Young

Ron Young's work is the product of a lifetime of investigation into the nature of reality, the outcome of many hundreds of hours of guided spiritual development by his teachers, and the grace of spirit.

The work with Ron is ongoing and he continues to be an incredible light guiding the creative opening to offer this work AS awareness with deep connection to the creative filed beyond human comprehension.
