So How Did This All Get Started?

Very unexpectedly! I’ve been meditating for 20 years. Spent years going within and feeling my own blockages slowly be removed. An online meditation spontaneously resulted in a healing. I realized that I could facilitate energetic blockages being released in another person.

How Do We Do This?

My Background

I was born with autism. My quiet nature kept me away from other children and mainly confined to his head and circular thoughts. I did enjoy nature and catching frogs growing up. More about this period of my life can be found in the book Uniquely Normal written by my father Rob Bernstein. He has dedicated his life to helping children with autism recover. I was the impetus for this specialization from the general special education work he was doing before. His novel method helped tremendously and got me to the point where I could start and have conversations with other children.

I was always deeply reflective – ess playful and more pensive about the serious topics. When my Grandfather Lou died, when I was 9, I had to ask myself what the point of life was? Did we really just disappear?

At 17, I had my first emotional breakdown. I started medication for depression and anxiety, which I continued on for 11 years. But the underlying negativity, fear, and overcast nature continued and would always come to the surface, sometimes stronger than others. I researched meditation and spiritual traditions extensively for self-treatment.

Finding Judiasm, the supportive community, and for the first time faith in a higher power, I spent 10 years in the orthodox tradition. I visited Israel and found a home in the communities of Passaic, New Jersey, Meor, The Lower East Side, Brooklyn, Boston, and Beth Jacob in Oakland California.

Thrown further into turmoil, by losing a job and being totally a drift in my career and personal relationship, I hit bottom. I was going to therapy 3 times a week in 2017. It was in this context, that when I came to India for my friend, Addy’s wedding, that everything changed.

With a yogi’s blessing, something activated deep within me. I began to experience a flow of energy. After years of cultivation under Eric Beckwith, Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev’s Sadhana Pada, Guruji Raghuveer Singh Rajput (several years with personal instruction), Octavia Vasile and Laurie “Lovefire” Roth, I felt a strong flow throughout my body:a movement like water coming in through my brow, out my fingertips and crown. 

While I long for a conscious enlightenment and to have the concentration and vision abilities, it became clear in an unexpected way, that the healing capacity was already there. I could changed people’s lives. And with all the I had be through, I love nothing more than to lift people up, show them there is a way to change, and give a brighter tomorrow.
