I have been a teacher and a healer with AMS for over 30 years.  From the first moment that I met Gururaj in 1983, he has been my beloved guru, as the years passed we grew closer and closer. I have never failed to trust his judgment in initiating me into these two powerful means of helping people.  It is an important part of what I am meant to do in this world, and helps me to become nearer to him and his teachings through these precious activities as well as deepening my own self understanding through the power of shakti..  So, meditation is far more than just a method of relaxation and self-exploration in my life, it is a service and an offering.  For me it is an expression of my devotion to the Divine and a way to return some of the blessings I have received. By helping others I also help clear my own samskaras or patternings,  It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be able to pass on these techniques to others.  Namasté.
