The Beginning...
My spiritual journey began at a very young age. My awareness of my true home was alive everyday within my consciousness. The memories I had of my soul home stirred many questions within me, and sparked a curiosity that began my infinite quest to find my own truth and purpose.
I became interested in the human body, and its remarkable ability to have its own consciousness. I found its ability to run on its own, with all its complicated systems that collaborate together to keep the body (souls home) alive and well.
My curiosity led me to study anatomy, physical therapy and recovery at the California University of Health and Science. After a few years of practice, I came to the realization that most of my clients had issues with their mindset and emotional bodies, as well as a recurring theme of past trauma. Thus began my interest in the power of our mindset, and the important role it plays in our daily life.
As I was living in California at the time, Tony Robbins was all over social media, in particular his teachings on mindset and its life changing abilities.
When I attended his seminar, the experience opened my eyes, and new opportunities began to present themselves to me.
Whilst living in California, I was also part of a poetry club, which introduced me to the work of Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Donald Walsh, Ramana Maharishi and many other spiritual authors and artists. The more books I read, the more I realized the passion I held for the truth. My priorities switched, and I decided I had to go to the East, to meet the living teachers and masters there.
Silence of the Soul
During my journey, every new experience came at the right time, divine intervention was leading me from place to place, discovering the next step along the way. I had a friend who was heading to Nepal, and she invited me to go to Kathmandu. Whilst in Nepal, I attended a retreat in a yoga school, where I was introduced to my first spiritual teacher, Petra Ruger, a disciple of Barry Long (a spiritual western master residing in Australia). After reading a few of his books, I decided that I would go to Australia at some point in the near future to meet him.
During my trip to Nepal, I met another traveler who was heading to India, and I decided to join her, to visit the Dharamshala, and to meet the Dalai Lama. When we reached the temple, we waited, and met the kind, sparkling soul who’s awareness of his own body and spirit was so bright that it beamed as a light shining from him. We were transported into a deep silence. The Dalai Lama’s presence created such peace and love that no words could describe the experience. This was my first experience of Silence of the Soul.
Vipassana meditation
Coming from a Western background, my trip to India opened my eyes to both the culture and to the practices of Buddhism as a whole. So, for the next part of my journey I found myself in Thailand. I visited Buddhist temples, and Vipassana meditation retreats, where participants spend the duration of their stay under a vow of silence.
My first vipassana meditation was so profound and deep, that after the 10 days of silence, it took me another week to be able to speak again.
The beauty of the silence I experienced truly touched my soul, and over the years I have participated in many other Vipassana retreats, completing 10, 20, and 30 days of silent meditation.
Profound presence
When my journey drew to a close in Asia, the door to Australia opened. I was preparing to meet Barry Long on the Gold Coast.
Barry Long had such a deep and profound presence, that it shattered my existing reality, and helped me re-formulate my identity to reflect my truest self.
I stayed in Australia for a year, which allowed me to attend many workshops with Barry Long, but eventually this part of my journey was over, and it was time for the next step.
In Australia I was invited to Brazil to experience the ancient Amazonian healing practices by Shamans, Macumba spiritualists, and Capoeira practices. I stayed in Brazil for a year, and learnt about shamanic healing, healing circles, and occult practices.
In Lebanon I was also invited to meet Anna - one of the teachers of Rajyoga (Brahma Kumaris) a teaching by the founder Brahma Baba a Guru that passed away many years ago and left his teachings to head Dadi’s (Female spiritual leaders) to run in Mount Abu India.
Today the Brahma Kumaris organization have centers internationally. Their teaching is based on knowledge of your journey, tree of life and practices to stay in the present moment through meditation and contemplation.
I met Dadi Janki - one of the main teachers of Brahma Kumaris who was a student of Brahma Baba at a very young age she was a beautiful soul so dedicated to the teaching sharing her knowledge and experience she had with Brahma Baba when he was alive and how they transformed their unconscious mind to stay always in present moment through service and dedication. Dadi Janki had deep knowledge about the soul and was always humbly available to the public at her age.
Amma is a guru residing in Kerala, India, and is known as the ‘hugging saint’.
I was so touched by her humanitarian love and compassion and her endless service to humanity through her wisdom, non-profit foundations, and charity (not to mention the endless hugs).
Amma shines with the unconditional love of a divine mother and embeds the energy of the ancient scriptures and wisdom into her daily life.
Again I was invited to her ashram in India, where I would meet her in person again. When she hugged me, it felt like a hug from the universe-everything in my mind went blank, and I felt as though I was a part of the night sky, at one with the moon and stars. I decided to stay at Amma’s ashram for a few years, and for the first time I had found my spiritual family.
During my years of service at the ashram, I learned about being humble, of service, and unconditional love from Amma.
Taking inspiration from my time with Amma at the ashram, I decided it was time to share the light within me with the world, by following my soul's purpose, and Gaia Center was born.
I returned to Cyprus to open a spiritual center that would assist others on their journey of self-discovery. We opened our doors for the first time in 2012, in Larnaca.
Since then, Gaia Center has evolved into a beautiful space offering healing, courses, workshops, seminars and lectures. We also have two interesting and welcoming metaphysical shops in Limassol and Larnaca.
