The system of Chakra Psychology emerged after I met my teacher, Gabriel Cousens, who comes from a kundalini tradition. This tradition ascribes great significance to the chakras, kundalini, and the subtle nervous system. In the process of being initiated by Cousens, I finally discovered the chakras directly, and this entire system became completely alive inside me. I began to listen to the chakras and started classifying emotions, thoughts, patterns, perspectives, and dimensions of life according to these centers of energy. Later, I confirmed my inner work through my work with hundreds of people, by listening to the correlation between their emotional patterns and the specific physical areas in which they were felt. This gradually became what we can call my “chakra science.” Chakras are a unique phenomenon, since they are the most accessible dimension of our subtle being. As such, this system is the most direct and tangible map of our inner being—before anything else, it is the most practical and effective map for navigating our emotional world. Usually we feel that our psyche is a complex thing, one big mess, but by using chakra psychology, we are finally able to understand how each of our emotions and patterns is related to certain chakras and what can be done about that. We can learn how to reveal our chakra maps and how to become chakra whisperers: how to directly communicate with the stored knowledge of the chakras in order to resolve our own suffering. Ultimately, I came to realize that chakras are also a map of the seven dimensions of life, and this revelation has been the source of many other practices and developments of the system.

Your soul design is crucial
for the attainment

The method of the seven heart powers was born as a result of a personal experience: after a dramatic separation in my life, I realized directly what it could mean if one chose to leave one’s heart open in this condition. I could see that we often contract our hearts to protect ourselves. But this defense mechanism only makes things worse. So, I chose instead to leave my heart open and not to let this contraction take place. This was my initiation into the dimension of heart power, and ever since, this has become a central aspect of my teaching. In this path, we understand through our experience why the Hindu chakra system has regarded the heart as “anahata”: unbeaten or unstruck, or, in other words, indestructible. Your heart is where you discover not only your innermost self, but also the only part of your being that cannot be destroyed. This completely goes against our current paradigm of what the heart is. By activating the heart’s powers, we make possible an irreversible state after which the heart remains fundamentally open. You simply know, from direct experience, that it no longer needs to be defended, and that when you try to defend it, you actually get the opposite result—being hurt even more. Ultimately, this system is all about daring to make our heart the leader of our being through different methods and techniques. In this sense, the heart’s power is also the very heart of my entire teaching, since the heart is, I believe, where the human and the divine meet and become one and the same. It is the very center that defines us as human beings, and therefore the only place where we can find meaning and purpose.
