Mantra ~ sacred sound medicine
Mantra is tantric. It is both a devotional practice and a form of meditation. It's a portal to another dimension. Mantra has the power to take you out of your head and into your heart and body, to bring peace and calm, to uplift, heal and transform. One becomes more concentrated, grounded, present, blissful and whole. One drops down the ancient well, down into the nourishing still depths where one finds one's centre, purpose, faith and love, again and again. 1:1 sessions |

Evoking the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
In Buddhist tradition, each mantra has a different quality and energy, and is associated
with a different Buddha or Bodhisattva. A mantra is the sound form, or symbol, of that
quality eg Wisdom or Compassion. By chanting a mantra one is invoking, calling on
the divinity and the particular quality that the divinity represents, and in doing so,
one is cultivating that quality within oneself and raising one's own vibration.

~ Joel
"There is no house like the house of belonging."
~ David Whyte
We all long for connection; to ourselves, to others, to our ideals. We long to belong, to find our place in the world, to value and give expression to our unique gifts, to live the life we're called to live. Perhaps the one thing that holds us back the most is low self-esteem or shame - a feeling of not being good enough. Through awareness and attention, through finding the courage to experience our vulnerability, and by cultivating kindness towards ourselves, we can loosen the 'not good enough' demon's grip and transform the stories that can overwhelm our minds and lives. With the sure and true footing that the breath brings, and with kindness, awareness and wisdom, we can move forward with renewed well-being, inspiration, purpose and confidence. We can find real connection, empowerment and belonging. We can come home to ourselves. |

Testimonials
"Mahasukha has an immense
stillness in his presence."
"Mahasukha is a kind, wise man. With sensitivity and humour he has helped me begin to accept and value who I am, which has given me the strength I have been longing for. He tunes in on a deep energetic level and instinctively knows what is needed. Barriers have lifted and I feel I am opening up to the world with a new kind of optimism. I am extremely grateful. Thank you Mahasukha." ~ Anne "Mahasukha helped me gain so much insight into the difficult issues I was dealing with around a life and creative career transition. He was incredibly supportive and sensitive. He gave me the guidance I needed, backed up by very practical suggestions. I have been singing Mahasukha’s praises to my friends who knew what I was going through. He inspired my path in a profound way and continues to do so. I feel very lucky." ~ Adrienne |
"Mahasukha has many fine qualities but the most relevant are a quite unique combination of empathy and an uncanny ability to see when I wasn't living to my best potential. Being authentic and honest as he is, he can’t help but want that for others. I have greatly benefited from his clear vision. He seemed to see the possibilities I missed. He always displayed a keen interest, a certain loyalty, always searching, never being satisfied with being told things are ok. I have gained much from my sessions with Mahasukha, both in being inspired by him, and also receiving his insights when I needed guidance." ~ Sanghaketu "Mahasukha was able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to do next. His friendliness and clarity really helped me objectify what direction I needed to take. What he said was down to earth and pragmatic. The main thing I got from our session was to just get on and do it. I'm very grateful to Mahasukha for his care and insight." ~ Neil |
"Mahasukha has an immense stillness in his presence which is a fantastic support
for me as a busy person. Mahasukha's coaching has been invaluable in helping me
stay grounded and clear in my vision for my life and work while managing my business
and my energy, both inside and out. He has a deep intuition and his judgement and
discernment in relation to what 'actually' is going on is truly a gift. I would highly
recommend him as a mentor in life and in business." ~ Karla, Breathe with the Beat

"The seer, the poet and singer, the spiritually creative, the psychically receptive and sensitive,
the saint: they all know about the essentiality of form in word and sound in the visible and the tangible. Through them the word becomes mantra and the sounds and signs of which it is formed become the vehicles of mysterious forces. Through them the visible takes on the nature of symbols, the tangible becomes the creative tool of the spirit, and life becomes a deep stream, flowing from eternity to eternity." |
~ Lama Anagarika Govinda

"And breathe..." The breath will always be the touchstone. The mantra I say the most is, "keep breathing!" The breath is our best friend, always with us, always reliable, ever faithful. The breath grounds us, gets us out of our heads and back into our bodies and our present experience, bringing peace, calm and tranquility. Take a deep breath right now and feel the positive effect. |

"Mahasukha is a born mentor and incredibly gifted." ~ Shakya
I have been a practicing Buddhist and 'soul searcher' for over 30 years. I have been
encouraging, guiding and inspiring people through coaching and mentoring for many
years (see the testimonials below). As well as singing, music and mantra, my interests
and practices include meditation, yoga, psychology, astrology and tarot. I am also
Reiki I and II qualified. The Magician archetype holds a special place in my heart.
I'm based in Brighton UK and my name means Great Bliss.
I offer coaching, counsel and guidance in a safe and supportive environment. I take a soulful,
intuitive approach. I will listen and help enable you to come into a deeper creative relationship
with any issues that you may be experiencing; to become more present, centred, grounded
and embodied; to have a deeper sense of yourself and your calling. We will create space
for your imagination and aspirations to be given a voice, to be seen and heard. We will
enter something of a sacred space to help find what is sacred to you.
