The journey home...

My journey began in the jungles of Sri Lanka. The ancient Buddhist places of worship, the mindblowing beauty of nature on that island... there was a vibe there that I still feel and cherish to this very day. I wasn't spiritually oriented then. But I felt drawn to something inexplicable, a magical vibe, a longing maybe?

What followed was a deep dive into yoga and a first "getting in touch" with spiritual esoteric teachings at Agama Yoga in Thailand and Trika Yoga in Rishikesh, India. Fascination is the word that describes best what was awakened inside. There it was again, this magical calling towards the inexplicable, the mysterious. Those worlds within that never seem to be fully graspable. Beauty.

I did an extensive yoga teacher training that was one of the best times of my life! We had so much fun and I loved having so much time to just enjoy. And the practices had a wonderful effect on my being. 

When I came back to my hometown Wil in Switzerland, another reality was waiting for me. The yoga bubble was gone and with it the sweet illusion of "otherworldliness". I began teaching at Kulturwerkstatt in Wil. There were only few participants but many times, I felt that they were touched by our coming together. We could enter a space of deeper connection with each other. 

But I felt insecure. Something in me felt that I wasn't coming from the right place, that I didn't have authority to "teach" things that I didn't full understand. I didn't like to advertise myself and was afraid to meet other teachers or participants in town for fear that they might discover my insecurity. 

Back to India for a deep dive into those aspects of my psyche that I would rather not want to see. Purification at all levels under the guidance of Sri Prem Baba, as well as extremely strenuous practices and pilgrimages with Guruji Maharaj.
