When I met Amit I brought with me an accumulation of injuries, some fresh, along with unanswered questions about life, death, love, and the universe.
I had very little idea of how insensitive I was to myself and to life - like trying to dance without being able to hear music. He has known me better than I readily know myself and has helped me heal in a manner that perfectly fits the pattern of my life and the pattern of my being in this world at this moment.
I could not ask for more but I see so much of what a real human being can be, of how I might arrive at that in myself, and of how that might be timeless.

I came to Amit very sad, confused, angry. Unable to fully accept the yo-yoing range of my emotions and thoughts. Even though there were good things in my life, I felt an overwhelming pain and a lack of confidence. Amit provided a gentle, safe place, full of much laughter and lightness and play for me to heal. He taught me to embrace my feelings as they arose; to not send anything away, good or bad.
Suddenly curious things started happening. When I didn’t reject a thought or feeling, I found myself in a most liberated state, or place. A space free of bad or good opinions, free of criticisms or praise. A place free of fear. A place of complete love. It wasnt constant. But it was enough to give me a taste of being healed. Of what it was like to feel completely healed and loved. Like my whole life I had been seeking and hiding and waiting.
But this place was the place I couldnt hide because I wanted to be found. I am very happy with my true nature. It is very beautiful, you know, our true nature is very very beautiful. Being caught by love is very beautiful. I was looking for the priceless gift. Amit pointed at it inside me. Not hard to accept, really. But then it is really, really hard to accept.
I am very very grateful and happy. What is coming from my heart is complete love. Amit has helped me to live fully from my heart. He has helped me realize and accept my wholeness. Amit truly provides the sacred space for true healing to take place. His complete acceptance of my wholeness while at the same time being completely present to all of my pain helped me to learn how to fully accept my pain and suffering as well as love and joy.
It was in this way he taught me (and still teaches me) how living is a holy union, a bringing together. A most beautiful collaboration between me and God. A miracle. I view life as whole now, not separate. When I came to him I was a swirling mass of wretched and chaotic feelings, very confused and depressed about life. I was feeling frustrated, blocked as an artist and lacking the confidence I needed and desperately wanting to be fully realized and successful in the world.
But more than anything, I wanted to be whole. Amits gift is slow, yet immediate, soft, yet powerful, full of much laughter and play. The kind of true power that can only come from love. His gift offering is only love. Complete and whole love. Nothing else. I didnt think or believe true healing, or enlightenment, could happen now.
The really cool side effects of complete healing: liking a lot more people, seeing a lot more beauty, accepting pain and anger as it arises, being able to give love freely without fear of consequences, confidence, I like my paintings more, I like my writings more, and when I don’t like my paintings or my writings and I am to accept my criticisms and then continue on with the work, be more open and loving and kind, peace, joy.
Amit works with what ever you bring. Through this he teaches me how to be more fully open to whatever the universe brings.
