From the Unconscious to Cosmic consciousness
...Moving towards wholeness and oneness

I’m a clinical psychologist and have been practicing psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for twenty-five years.
I specialize in non ordinary states of consciousness, using holotropic breathwork, hypnosis, guided imagery, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trance like musics.
I’m familiar with Gestalt, bio-energetics, primitive dance, art-therapy and shamanic journeying. I have completed the three-years facilitator training program for Holotropic Breathwork and transpersonal psychology with Dr Stanislav Grof in California.
I build bridges between psychoanalysis, body-work and transpersonal psychology. I have been leading Holotropic Breathwork groups for seventeen years.
My both personal and spiritual work now leads me to channel sacred sounds to elevate the mind and the spirit
The music that you’ll hear on this site has been chanelled by playing together with Chris Birkett: www.chrisbirkett.net and www.myspace.com/chrisbirkett.
During the recording, we focused with the intention to be vehicles for the Divine Source. This is the result of our team work together.
We haven’t rearranged anything in order to allow the Sacred to manifest through the music.
Humility towards the Source has been our main intention and motive.
My deepest thanks go to Amma and Baghavan, the leaders of Oneness University in India, without whom this spiritual singing wouldn’t have happened.
I encountered their teaching last January 2006 when I attended the three weeks retreat and was initiated to Deeksha blessing which is a transmission of "Divine Energy" achieved by placing hands on the head of the receiver. For more informations go to : www.onenessuniversity.org.
I went through the deepening process in January 2007.
Since 2006 my life shifted on many levels and, thanks to Oneness, I was given the opportunity to meet my partner Chris Birkett with whom I’m involved in this musical project.
I don't want to forget Osho and his humourous teachings on how to become "Zorba the Buddha"...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/26/2007
Band Website: www.psyemergence.com
Influences: I'm a free spirit in search of harmony, both inner and outer, participating in the union between spirit and matter.

What I enjoy the most :
Mindful breathing, "Oming", questioning, writing,painting, uninhibited dancing, feeling, sensing,reflecting, contemplating and meditating.
Inner silence, growing in consciousness to resonate with the divine, exchanging perceptions and insights with others, listening to nature, music, travelling the least travelled roads alone or with my beloved, magical sunrises and sunsets, trying to live the teachings of the great inspiring guides, hedonism, being present in the here and now...

I can't live without arts. Music is an essential part of my therapeutical work and life. My musical tastes are very eclectic and include World, Spiritual, Shamanic and all music with profound roots. For example Hassidic music resonates in my soul.
In classical music I put J. S. Bach above everything. He elevates me to unforeseen heights and takes me to states of awe and ecstasy. I cry with Schubert when I listen to his quintets (Death and the Maiden) and also Mahler.
Italian operas move me to the realization that life is just a stage and a dream in which are reflected the drama of existence.

The readings that inspired me the most these last
20 years are those written by :
Dr Stanislav Grof, the psychedelic researchers, Carlos Castaneda, Deepak Chopra, Boris Cyrulnik, Abraham Maslow, Ervin Laszlow, Rupert Sheldrake, David Laing, Elizabeth Haïch, Osho, Sandra Ingerman, Michael Harner, Kenneth Ring, Stanley Kripner, Patrice Van Eersel,Sigmund Freud, and so many more who helped and still help me on my spiritual journey.

Jewish mysticism is a profound part of my heritage.
I consider myself a citizen of the world and a natural born humanitarian.

My prefered places in the world are: India, Mexico, Israel, The USA (California, New-Mexico, San-Fransisco, New-York), Italy, Prague, and many more too numerous to mention...
