The Karmic Responsibility
of Happiness
with Swami Jaya Devi Bhagavati, RYT 500
Every person is born with the right to be happy. Our karmic responsibility to be happy awakens when our curiosity and willingness merge; we start to commit to ourselves as spiritual human beings and to do the work to heal our hearts. It only takes a moment of conscious choice to ignite this awakening. read more

Opening the Third Eye: Expanding Awareness and Compassion
Workshop and Private Readings

When one sees from the third eye as opposed to physically seeing, one sees how the former can lead to judgment or discrimination and how the latter opens one to compassion and great awareness. read more
