Ever since I can remember, coming into adolescence, there was a sense of something missing.

A kind of void that needed filling.

I went looking for it in the world.
Through things, experiences, activities.

But no matter what I found, the feeling would always return.

That search eventually led me to meditation, with the simple idea that I was going to quiet my mind.

From there, I was introduced to yoga. Not just as a physical practice, but in its original sense, as union. The practices weren’t about chasing special states, but about recognising what was already here.

In one of those early classes, I found myself drawn to a picture on the altar.

It was Adi Shankaracharya.

I didn’t know why at the time, but I felt something in it.

When I began reading his work, it was the first time I had the sense that what I was experiencing wasn’t strange. That there was something real and meaningful underneath it all.

I spent years exploring this.

Through asana, meditation, japa, pranayama, kriya, study, and travelling to be with teachers.

There was depth in it, and a growing understanding.

But there was still something subtle underneath it all.

A sense of seeking.

That shifted one day while listening to a conversation on the Waking Up app, where I came across Gangaji.

It felt like she was speaking directly to something I already knew.

There was a simplicity to it.
A directness.

Not something to achieve, but something to see.

Through her teachings, I was introduced to Papaji, and from there to Ramana Maharshi.

That led me into a more genuine inquiry.

Not looking for answers,
but asking directly:

Who am I?

Through neti neti (not this, not this), something began to settle.

Less effort.
Less striving.
More recognition of what’s already here.

What I offer now comes out of that.

A way of working that brings together direct inquiry, yoga, and lived experience.

It’s not about becoming something else.

It’s about clearly seeing what already is, and no longer being led by the mind in the same way.
