Balancing Your Spiritual and Material Life...

"The material and the spiritual are but two parts of one universe and one truth. By overstressing one part or the other, man fails to achieve the balance necessary for harmonious development... Practice the art of living in this world without losing your inner peace of mind. Follow the path of balance to reach the inner wondrous garden of Self-realization." Paramahansa Yogananda

Hi there. I am Brazilian, living in Israel with my fiancée who is studying in a special Middle East Program for Peace building in the region! I am enjoying the city and its people. I am giving Reiki courses and healing sessions. I am also studying for my master degree in Therapeutic Counseling, at the International College of Spiritual and Psychic Sciences - the Interfaith Seminary Program of the Canadian Spiritual Science Fellowship (SSF). It has been a new, enriching phase of my life.

I am journalist, having worked as a TV News Presenter and Editor in several companies in Brazil. However, in 1996 I left my country of origin. I have traveled extensively since then, wherever my heart has been taking me and I feel I can learn something.

I've been twice to India, a country that I love. The first time, in 1996, I spent 3 months traveling with an Indian Master learning the Spiritual Scriptures and meditation (in average 10 hours a day!). The second time, in 2003-2004, I spent 9 months traveling as a pilgrim all around the country. I also spent 6 months going through the whole of South America, absorbing this Continent's unique cultural and spiritual richness. In the American Southwest, I traveled for 2 months with a Peruvian Shaman, getting in touch with the Native American Culture. There were also Thailand, Nepal, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Russia, Australia and many other places, along with Brazil, of course, an extremely rich country when it comes to spiritual and cultural diversity.

In all these years, I have studied with many Masters (and so-called Masters also!), who have enriched me in so many ways that it is impossible to describe. I am now a Reiki and Karuna Master, having studied with Brazilian, Italian and English Masters since 1995. I am also an Ayurvedic Massage Practitioner, a Bio-energy and a Flower Remedies Therapist.

	Paramahansa Yogananda 1893-1952 The "Self-Realization Fellowship" The "Self-Realization Fellowship" was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda, widely revered as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time. His book, "Autobiography of a Yogi", has introduced truth-seekers all over the world to India's age-old philosophy of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings offer a science of spiritual exploration; one that enables us to create for ourselves spiritually harmonious lives, and to contribute to a more compassionate and peaceful world. Yogananda is my beloved Guruji. Since 1998 I have been studying Yoga through his teaching that i receive from Self-Realization Fellowship. I reached the highest level of the teachings and was initiated in Kriya Yoga (the "Royal Yoga").

I have been giving Reiki and Karuna courses since 1999 in Brazil, England, Canada and now in Israel! Since 1996 I have worked voluntarily with Bio-Energy, together with my Russian Teacher in Italy and Brazil. For 3 years I worked as a Complementary Therapist in a London-based Clinic, offering a wide range of Complementary Therapies for women with physical, mental and spiritual ailments. I was, then, assigned to three different schemes: in the Hospitals treating Doctors and Nurses; in a special Government Scheme treating Carers of children and adults with mental disabilities; and in the Housebound/Outreach Project, treating housebound women.

I have worked with children in 2 occasions. In Brazil, in a Baptist Church Nursery, with children and teenagers from 6-14 years-old, and in India, in a Tibetan School, as a Personal Development Teacher.

In 2004-2005 I moved for one year to Montreal, Canada. I studied there for my masters in Therapeutic Counseling with Dr. Marilyn Rossner, as well as gave courses in Reiki, meditation, techniques for everyday living and other spiritual subjects.

I have always tried to work in a very holistic way, giving equal attention to body, mind and spirit. Thanks also to my Journalistic background, I think I have reached a point where I can clearly balance reason and intuition, science and spirituality.

Hi dear!... the course was wonderful, so many things opened that weekend, i feel it has have influence on my life in so many ways (even if it is so difficult to practice). It gives me some clarity about my life... It was part of a process, but it came right on time. I love that you taught in a way that i can use it but also not forcing any specific "settings" or thoughts or "moves"... that it's not a cult, but way of life... So, thanks very very much, with all my love.
