I’ve found that I said that so many times to so many people. Actually I had a pretty rough and challenging life, filled with self-sabotage and anger towards the world around me… that was until my Awakening experience in 1993. This experience was the beginning of my new life which eventually lead me to becoming a meditation teacher and monk. It gave me a reason to live, a clear path towards my healing, a passion to express and contribute and a way to really express to the world what is authentic for me. Although my goals were mostly subconscious pre-awakening I still had goals. Unfortunately they weren’t positive. I often was filled with anger and frustration. I was always a bit of a rebel, I knew there was something better than the existence I was living, that there was more to life, that there is real meaning and a greater way to live. But as a child that mindset didn’t fit in school. As a teenager growing up in Israel I experienced tragedy, my brother died while serving in the army when I was 16 years old, there was a lot that I was angry about, I became more and more frustrated, alone and lost. My life really was spiralling, until I woke up. I believe that it is possible for everyone, that in fact it is the birthright of each and every one of us, to walk an authentic path of transformation, be supported, empowered and/to create a fulfilling profound life.

So let me share with you a bit about my story, how I got here (with my huge long beard)… while still maintaining my rebellious side (though in a different way). Oh and let’s not forget still having lots of fun on my two divine motorbikes. :)
