Bliss is Blocked

A Time of Accelerated Growth

Shunyamurti’s background includes doctorates in psychology and law; advanced work
in Jungian and Lacanian analysis; decades of practice as a healer; ten years as a monk;
deep and extensive entheogenic shamanic practice; profound realization of non-
duality; a lifetime of integrating the paths of East and West, to unravel the knots in
postmodern consciousness.

Before moving to Costa Rica, Shunyamurti maintained a flourishing private practice

as a transformational healer in California for over twenty years, integrating the healing
power of psychoanalysis, Jungian dreamwork, and other modes of therapeutic action
with kundalini energy transmission.

Advocate for Truth:

From Common Law to Karmic Law and Cosmic Law
Shunyamurti has been an attorney at law and a political scientist, who worked within
the structure of the establishment. During that time it became clear to him that
changing the trajectory of history could not be done through the system, but rather it
required a quantum leap of human consciousness. He realized that humans must
evolve beyond ego and return to our Real Being.
Formal Yogic Training
Shunyamurti had made contact with the power of Yoga in his youth, and developed
his own form of meditation combined with writing poetry. But in his college years, he
began a long apprenticeship in both martial arts and formal Yogic training, including
five years of intensive practice under the direction of Baba Hari Dass. This was
followed by ten years spent in a Raja Yoga monastic order in India. While at the
ashram, he was often asked for counsel from other students, and he came to
understand that the western mind is too fragmented and complex to be able to benefit
from the austere and simple Eastern approach to meditation and ego transcendence.
Recognizing that a more integral approach must be developed, he returned to the U.S.
to study psychology and to discover what other modalities of transformation were
available. He became an adept therapist and shaman, able to work with both normal
psychological conditions and in paranormal realms of consciousness.
A Journey of Self-realization
His profound path of training included deep study of nearly every advanced esoteric
tradition. He also studied logic, semiotics, and sciences such as quantum physics and
complexity theory, which further support his realization of nonduality. Shunyamurti is
thus uniquely qualified to guide seekers through the process of inner purification and,
beyond the event horizon of the ego mind, to realization of the Absolute.
Shunyamurti recognized this goal as the original intention of Yoga, and he
reconstituted Yoga on a foundation both relevant and coherent to postmodern
rationality. This approach came to be called Sat Yoga (meaning union with the
Ground of Being), and he has delved ever deeper into the essence of Mind, while
serving as a healer and teacher, a remover of obstacles for those on the spiritual path.

Responding with Love & Power to a world in chaos

In 2001, on September 11, while hiking in the French Alps, Shunyamurti was told
about the World Trade Center attack. He recognized the historic significance of the
event, and sat on a promontory to meditate. He entered into deep samadhi, receiving a
call to build an ark to survive the cataclysms of a world descending into chaos. He
foresaw the urgent necessity for humanity to create self-sustaining, creative, yogic
eco-communities that could serve as a refuge and as a transitional medium to bring
people from the current mode of ego-consciousness to Self-realization. He intuited
that Costa Rica would become a major center of the new global culture of peace and
spiritual renaissance. Thus was the Sat Yoga Institute conceived—and soon
manifested.

A master teacher of the Heart

Shunyamurti speaks eloquently of deep Truth to open our hearts to divine love. His
words integrate all aspects of life and every field of understanding, from quantum
physics, complexity and chaos theory, dreamwork and psychoanalysis, to ancient
Greek philosophy and forgotten teachings of little-known schools of Buddhism,
Taoism, and the original forms of Yoga. He is an inspiring presence who guides us
through the dark night of the soul to the supreme illumination.
