I met Komal some time in 2017 when I had first started spending more time in Kuala Lumpur. She was beginning her journey of self-awareness then. Today Komal is a dedicated wellness and meditation coach who has seamlessly woven the principles of Ayurveda into her life for the past decade.

Her teachings extend beyond the surface, delving into the intricacies of meditation and holistic well-being. More than a practitioner, Komal is driven by a profound desire to guide individuals towards connecting with their intuition. She believes in everyone's inherent ability to grasp the truth and navigate their unique paths. Her approach is a harmonious blend of Eastern philosophy and practices, intricately interwoven with insights from modern neuroscience. Join her on a journey of self-discovery, where simplicity and authenticity reign supreme. Let's embark on a transformative exploration of the mind, body, and spirit, uncovering the profound wisdom within each individual. Your path to holistic well-being begins here with Komal. In this podcast, we talk about 1. What is Ayurveda and how Komal learnt it?  2. What are some of the Dos and don’ts with Ayurveda?  3. How and why does Meditation & Ayurveda fit together?  4.

Marissa Parry is a Health Coach first amongst many other things. She is a mother, a fitness instructor, runs a plant based food business, and a Capoeira Academy.  Marissa brings an exuberance and passion to all the work she does. I chose to speak to Marissa today because of her holistic methods in achieving her Body Goals including the wonderful amount of time she makes to spend outdoors with her kids, Without a healthy body, it is not possible to channel energy efficiently within our body or to hold wisdom for the longer term. Being spiritual is about having a mind-body-spirit balance. In this episode we talk aboutWhat does a relationship with food and your body actually mean? (A lot of ppl approach this with so little awareness). What are some natural things that we can easily do more of?What has been some “finds”, “truth” or other limiting belief type revelations that really surprised you on this journey? Enjoy this episode!Varin Gill is a Certified Spirituality, Sex & Relationships Coach, a Healer, a Goddess Wisdom Initiate, a Certified Yoga Teacher and a Finance Director with 20 years background in Corporate & Operational Finance.

It’s a time of great alchemy and purification for everyone right now. The events of the world are shaking us up in many ways. This is my small addition to the various interpretations of grief that may help you understand the emotions that are affecting you today. I am going through a new phase in my life too. One that is undoubtedly laced by grief. But there is grief in every new beginning because something has to end. When we start school we leave our childhood forever, something our parents grieve as they watch us become young men and women. Similarly when we wake up in the morning, we silently grieve the days that have gone if we attach ourselves too much to the memories of our past. I hope this is sharing is helpful to you. Many blessings. Varin Gill is a Certified Spirituality, Sex & Relationships Coach, a Healer, a Goddess Wisdom Initiate, a Certified Yoga Teacher and a Finance Director with 20 years background in Corporate & Operational Finance.

After months of exhaustion and doing whatever I thought was "rational' to heal it such as lots of rest, exercise, breathing, sleep, better diet etc, I still felt so exhausted. I had a feeling as to why as I was so exhausted, but I could not accept it at some level. A huge belief needed to be shattered within me.  So I decided to approach a family constellation practitioner and I was blown away with what I discovered. In this episode I share the contents of my session that will apply to anyone who has experienced burnout. Varin Gill is a Certified Spirituality, Sex & Relationships Coach, a Healer, a Goddess Wisdom Initiate, a Certified Yoga Teacher and a Finance Director with 20 years background in Corporate & Operational Finance.

I have been following Tiziano's Content for a while now.  Whilst he has learnt family constellation in his native Italy, he has successfully developed his own approach to this wonderful family healing modality. He is doubt free in his responses and extremely grounded. Coming from a family background of criminality and drugs, he is deeply compassionate of the healing journey chosen by his clients. We covered the below in what I see as an introductory podcast with him and so much else.Tell us a little about you and how did you know the spiritual path was for you?Why Family Constellations for you? How did you learn it? What is Systemic? What are some examples of constellations that you have handled - possibly 2 examplesWhat wounds are harder - mother or father wounds? WhyWhat practices do you do to enhance your spirit, mind and body?Enjoy!

I met Laavenia Ramasegar at Heart Sanctuary, a wellness centre in Kuala Lumpur a while ago. I did not forget our conversation as we both discussed our "Nadi" leaf reading. "Nadi" leaves are details of a past and present life written by Saint Agasthiya on leaves that have been well preserved and looked after by a legacy of priests in South India. Of course I was never going to forget her as you do not have such conversations with just anyone. Much later I learnt that Laavenia was an Egyptian lineage energy healer, a tarot reader and teacher and she practices plant medicine for her own growth and healing. But what intrigued me most was that she was still a Corporate Employee, ie an engineer. We had an awesome chat talking about1. How did you discover Spiritual Healing? What was your journey? And why is Egyptian Healing Your Calling?2. Tell us about any spiritual journeys you have undertaken?3. How has being a healer impacted your work life?And so much more.
