About Andrew

A journey from corporate success to spiritual awakening

Andrew's Story

Andrew has worked with hundreds of people over the last 20 years within different healing modalities. Prior to this he worked in the corporate world as a managing director of a large travel company in Kent.

He came to a fork in the road questioning more deeply the nature of reality, why am I here, what is my purpose, after becoming quite ill from the huge stress that this role demanded. He had all the trappings of material success—the Porsche, the PA, the money, the kudos—but felt so empty and disillusioned with life.

This spiritual awakening was very strong and eventually he had to give in and left that world for good, and went back to his childhood home in Glastonbury in Somerset to embark on a healing journey, and a quest to know thyself.

The Path of Learning

Andrew embarked on various teachings including becoming a Reiki and Seichem Master healer, plus many years as a Shamanic healer. He also became a breath work therapist, a clinical Hypnotherapist, and a Master NLP practitioner.

He then worked with sacred psychedelic plant medicines from the Amazon jungle that have been used by Shamans for thousands of years. After a couple of years of intense training as an apprentice with these plants plus deep Shamanic training, he began to facilitate sacred circle retreats within Europe for 16 years.

During this time and through studying eastern spiritual philosophy as a committed meditator, a great spiritual figure was presented as a great light of wisdom and truth. After reading Yogananda's spiritual teachings, Andrew found himself diving ever deeper into this work—it was like coming home to the real truth of who we are.

After years of studying with the Fellowship Yogananda set up in 1920, Andrew became a Kriyaban and a yogi, a practitioner of Kriya Yoga pranayama meditation and philosophy. This practice goes back to over 5,000 years ago and has been used by the great spiritual Masters, Avatars, Sages and Yogis, devotees to the Divine of all faiths, and souls of no faith.

A Life of Service

Andrew's life now is dedicated to assisting fellow souls on this planet who have a will in wanting to understand themselves through their conscious awakening process, which can be for many very daunting and confusing. Every person he works with teaches him more about himself, being the student to the divine, as every human has their own unique way of expressing their divinity through their own personal karmic story.

"To be of service in assisting people to understand more of who they truly are from both a theoretical perspective and more importantly from direct experience is a real privilege and passion. To come back into alignment and union with the mind, body and soul, and to become self realised is the greatest work we can do here on this planet for ourselves and on behalf of God."

To assist people along this spiritual journey who are walking the path back home continues to be a real joy.

The Awakening Heart Symbol

This logo came through meditation, and its symbolism represents the journey of spiritual awakening.

The outer golden ring represents cosmic creative life force energy, or the Holy Ghost. The blue circle inside symbolises the Christ consciousness—the pure reflection of God in creation.

The brilliant white five-pointed star in the forehead represents Spirit or God beyond creation. When seen in deep meditation, it is the gateway to communing with the divine.

The heart centre, symbolised by the six-pointed star and twelve-petaled lotus, represents the union of male and female energies and the twelve core qualities of the awakened heart: Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Empathy, Connection, Peace, Trust, Acceptance, Balance, Healing, and Generosity.

The figure-8 legs represent infinity—our soul's true nature beyond the illusion of time and space.

Love Conquers All

The power of love is the greatest of all powers—no power is greater. Love can conquer all obstacles, all suffering, and all separation from the divine.

Love dissolves fear, hatred, and ignorance of who we really are. All negative emotions arise from the separation within us from the divine, but when the heart is opened to true love—not sentimental love but divine love—it conquers all emotions, frees the soul from bondage, and awakens within us inner peace.

Love is the only way to bring about peace through global conflicts, family conflict, and our own internal conflicts. It is the cosmic force that binds together all creation.

"The ONLY force that can unite the world is love for spirit, the divine, creator, God, our love for one another, as we are all a sum of the part of the whole. In love lies the solutions to the world's conflicts—internationally, nationally, socially, and personally."
