Dhyanashanti
In 1991 when I came to the US from Communist Romania I realized that I wasn't only seeking a new
land, I was seeking myself. Luckily this led me to the sacred path of YOGA. I started practicing
from an old French book called “Je perfectionne mon yoga” (I perfect my yoga) which I found in
the old antique basement store on Delmar, in St. Louis, Mo which I call home.
This led me to a never-ending journey of self-discovery as I trained in Buddhist meditation,
multiple yoga styles, including yin, vinyasa, kundalini and gong healing, qigong, acupressure,
meditation, trance- formation healing, human design, writing, poetry and travel.
My unfulfilling marriage and my experience with chronic pain led me to a humble place where I learned to prioritize my soul, individualize, love myself in my uniqueness, and grow from the mud in fuller and deeper aspects of my being. I’m thrilled to be able to share my expertise with the collective that needs so much healing and unconditional love.
I have led and facilitated many retreats, including Buddhist, yoga and transformational seminars over the years. My other joy is travelling; I have roamed around five continents and 52 countries and counting. I have listened, experienced and learned a lot from different cultures and traditions, and it is to no surprise they’re included in my book.
Lately, I published a few poems and gathering now all of them into a book. “Reclaiming Your Angelic self” started as a journal and a means of self-reflection a few years ago. As I developed this system, step by step started to apply it to myself and noticed it was working.
Amid my broken marriage and health challenges caused by the drama in the marriage I managed to raise two beautiful children that are 24, my son, Andrei and 26, my daughter Andra. They are both independent, intelligent humans that are working on themselves as well.
I strongly believe that we have a duty to elevate, ultimately that is one’s life purpose: Oneness that brings unconditional Love. First with our soul and then with each other thus when we are healed, Gaia is healed.
